Will my hair fall out when I stop using Minoxidil?

ruipfsilva97
I don't have hair loss problems. My beard just simply doesn't grow on some areas (patchy beard). I am considering using Minoxidil to see what kind of results i can get with it. From what i've seen on the internet, great things are possible. However i dont know if my hair will fall out once i stop using it. I've read that people who have hair loss problems need to use forever to keep the results. Is it the same for people who just want to grow hair where it previously didn't exist?
