Do I have to continue to use topical minoxidil solutions even after my hair has grown back?
A. Yes. Topical minoxidil solutions are still treatments and are not cures for MPB. If you discontinue using minoxidil solutions, the scalp will revert to its baseline (before-use) condition in three to four months. However, some patients can achieve acceptable maintenance with once/day applications of 1 mL 5% minoxidil or Xandrox®.
