Does Rogaine work?

It depends on the level of your hair loss. It is only a further prevention medication.

If your hair loss is in its early stages and you want to stop thinning your hair, it will be useful and stop your thinning if you use it for your lifetime. However, if you are in the later stages of hair loss and you expect to get back the hair you lost, you should be looking for a more robust option like hair transplant surgery.

And its effects will vanish after a few months when you stop using it. For more information please check our page on comparison of hair regrowth options.
