Question 4

Ive been using minoxidil 5% for pattern baldness for the last two years. It worked well at first, but now it seems like it's not doing anything. Does minoxidil stop working after a while, or is there something else going on?

Accepted Answer

Minoxidil 5% is a common treatment for pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). While it can be effective, its effectiveness may decrease over time.Receptor downregulation: Minoxidil works by binding to specific receptors. Prolonged use may lead to a decrease in receptor density, reducing the medication's effectiveness.Other factors: Poor scalp health, inadequate application, or concurrent medical conditions may also contribute to decreased effectiveness.Options to consider:1. Consult a dermatologist: Discuss your concerns and explore alternative treatments, such as finasteride (oral medication), low-level laser therapy (LLLT), or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.2. Combination therapy: Using minoxidil in combination with other treatments, such as finasteride or LLLT, may help maintain or enhance its effectiveness.3. Scalp care: Maintain good scalp hygiene, and consider using scalp serums or shampoos that promote hair growth.4. Realistic expectations: Understand that minoxidil is not a cure for pattern baldness, and its effectiveness may vary.
