Minoxidil helps hair growth on both scalp and face, but stopping it leads to hair loss on the scalp, not the face. The user questions why scalp hair can't be maintained with finasteride or androgen blockers after stopping minoxidil, despite these treatments reducing DHT damage.

Hair follicle regenerative therapy is being developed, with clinical trials planned in Japan, potentially allowing for hair cloning and eliminating the need for treatments like finasteride. If successful, the treatment could be available in Japan by 2025, but widespread access and affordability may take longer.
