      community Why don't Minoxidil regenerated hairs become terminal on the head?

      in Minoxidil  101 upvotes 1 year ago
      Minoxidil helps hair growth by increasing blood flow and prolonging the growth phase, but it doesn't address the root cause of hair loss, such as DHT sensitivity. Finasteride can help maintain some gains by blocking DHT, but stopping Minoxidil often leads to hair loss because the new hairs are dependent on it.
