Question Topic

Extending the Minox Efficacy Period

Question

Is there a way to \"trick\" the minoxidil in understanding that the minox is freshly starting the stimulating process all over again? For example, if we used it for 3 months and stopped temporarily for 1-2 weeks, then started again, would this trick the minox that its starting new the process. It seems minox works just between 3-7 years so I\'d like to find a way to extend this working period. Thank you.

Answer

Dear Brad,

I have not heard of this regimen and frankly I do not think that it will work. By stopping Minoxidil, the hairs that are dependant on Minoxidil to grow will get shed during the break period.
