Rogaine

[Pavi]

I just went to a dermatologist today regarding my hair loss. I am a NWIII with long curly hair. Anyway, I asked her about rogaine/minoxidil and whether or not it loses effectiveness over time. She told me that everything she says about products is clinically-meaning what she sees in her own patients.

She told me that rogaine/minox does not lose effectiveness over time. She said that many people think that just because it's not inhibiting DHT that a at a random the drug will stop working. She said that DHT is important in hair loss but it's not the entire picture or else propecia would work for everyone and be a cure for hair loss. That being said, she said minoxidil acts in ways not fully understood, so how could anyone know what its role in hair loss is? She said that if minoxidil can reverse miniaturizing hair follicles, the drug has to be interrupting the balding process.


Thoughts on this??
