When u say that when minoxidil is stopped hair loss comes back:it comes back as before or even more hair loss occurs? plz explain
Sep 3, 2014

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
It depends on the underlying cause of hair loss: if most hair follicles are not viable, then once you discontinue the application of minoxidil, hair loss will gradually go back to its previous state and may progress further. If however the hair follicles are mostly still alive, then hair loss would slow down.
