community Why do Minoxidil gains need continued Minoxidil to be kept and canΒ΄t be retained with DHT blockers?
Minoxidil and finasteride work through different mechanisms; minoxidil-dependent hair requires continued use to maintain growth, while finasteride prevents further hair loss but cannot sustain minoxidil gains alone. Current treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and others need indefinite use, as no permanent solution exists yet.
