What is the success rate with minoxidil for female pattern hair loss in 21 year old female?

Question

What do you mean by success( stopping or slowing down hair loss or regrowth)?

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

Minoxidil helps 20-30 % of women with FPHL. It does not help everyone. To date, there is no way to predict if it will help a given person before they have started - You need to use 6-9 months to determine that answer. If it does help - the medication must be used lifelong (except during pregnancy).

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Minoxidil is a standard treatment drug for use in female hair loss. This is difficult to treat as I have written below.  You need to work out your treatment plan with a doctor, not over the internet
