Hi Doc. I have been using Rogaine for maybe 5 years now and it has sort if stabilised the hair loss. But when I went to see a hair transplant specialist she told me that full-strength Rogaine only needs to be applied once a day rather than the recommended twice a day. Is this true? I have been using it once a day since then and that was 3 months ago. I’m concerned that my hair may resume falling out if I continue. Thanks
I am under the impression that the best benefit comes from a twice per day application. Once a day seems to have little effect on most people.

The half life of minoxidil when applied to the scalp is 22 hours, so the effects of 2x daily as opposed to once daily is really minimal. Studies conducted by Dr.Bernstein have shown this to be a fact.
