How long should you use Rogaine for men?

Rogaine works only for certain types of baldness and only if you keep up with its application. But it doesn’t work for everyone.

Will I go bald if I stop using Rogaine?

Why does Rogaine not work for frontal baldness?

The mechanism of how minoxidil works is not fully known.

This helps to get them to grow new hair. It isn’t truly treating the causes of baldness.
