I have been losing a lot of hair for a few months, is minoxidil really for life? Does it make facial hair grow?

Yes, minoxidil is typically a lifelong treatment for androgenetic alopecia. It is known to help promote hair growth, but if you stop using it, the effects may diminish over time. Other options for hair loss have not been proven to be as effective. It is always important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and recommendations regarding hair loss treatments.
