Can your hair be dependent after a month use of Rogaine?

Question

Hair and rogaine usage: I was experiencing TE and want to get off .

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, you won't be dependent, but there is an increase in hair shedding with Rogaine. It takes up to 6 months to see results. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Sean R. Weiss, MD, FACS · Answer

The use of rogaine for a month will not make you dependent.  To improve your condition, you may consider continuing the Rogaine or using PRP (platelet Rich Plasma) injections.  Best Regards, Dr. Weiss

William Woessner, MD · Answer

The answer is most likely no. Minoxidil works in a non specific manner and promotes more blood vessels to the follicles. There will not be a dependency per say. Below is our website link to the medications.

no , you can not get any benefit for combating hair loss or change in caliber of your hair in such a short time period .you may get rid off usage .

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

No, it is not dependent but it can take a very very long time for the shedding to settle again  - even 6-8 months. See a physician if your concerns persist.
