Q 18.
Does Hair Diameter Remain the Same even after Stopping Hair Growth Medicine?
Can we stop using hair growth agent when we are satisfied with the results?
Does the effect of minoxidil last forever?
A 18.
Hair growth medicine is effective only during use. If you stop using it, effects of the drug will disappear.
Even if you have found an effective hair regrowth medicine and if you are satisfied with the results, for example, the effects of the drug will disappear after stopping the drug for more than 3-5 months.
As hair grows slowly, hair density will not look different before scalp hair grows long enough after 6-12 months.
Even if the diameter of hair shafts has become small after stopping minoxidil, hair thickness will not look different while the length of fine hair is short. Thinning of hair will become noticeable after 4-6 months.
And vice versa. Even if you begin to use hair growth medicine again, increase in hair thickness will not be noticeable within 3-4 months. It will take more than six months before your hair looks thick again.
A pause of hair growth medicine for only a short period makes no difference.
Please don’t stop hair growth medicine for more than 3-5 months.
For example, even if you stop using hair growth medicine for two weeks during a business trip, it doesn’t matter. Hair density will remain the same, if you resume the drug after the business trip.
