Hi, I am considering using minoxidil to help grow out my eyebrows. However, will it make my eyebrow hairs fall off and then grow back in as it does with scalp hair?

Answer: Mens Rogaine on eyebrows may or may not work to grow eyebrows. If by chance it works, you will need to use it daily

You really need to see a doctor for a proper exam. One photo and short descriptions will not help with your cause. I realize it may be frustrating but female hair loss can be very complicated and often times doctors don't have a single cause.
I recommend patients start Rogaine about 10 days after hair transplant if they were using it prior to the surgery. If they were never using rogaine before the surgery, I have them wait about 21 days as sometimes patients can have a skin reaction to rogaine and I would not like that happening ...
Yes, Women's Rogaine foam works. Once daily use of the foam is just as good as twice daily use of the 2 % solution. Rogaine foam doesn't help all women - but around 30 %-40 % will have some response.Rogaine takes 6 months to see an effect and I recommend 9 months before deciding if it works...
