It will probably stop working once you hit 25, unfortunately.
It seems to be temporary on it's own, unless used with an anti DHT agent.
Well I'm about to be 21. 4 years of my current hair would be a miracle. Plus in 4 years something has to be out!!
I know eventually it will but if it keeps me at base line until 2020 there HAS to be something out by then, right?

i think it depends on how aggressive your loss is. ive read plenty of guys getting a good 6,7,8 years regrowth/maintenance with just min before things eventually went down hill. so yes you will lose your progress eventually, but how long that takes and how fast is different for everyone
i had a good year i think before my min results went down hill. and i was a great responder. lots regrowth. but im also heading to nw7. min alone just couldnt hack it for me

you should def try some other things to help you for a while. maybe zix, revivogen, spironolactone? some more experiemntal stuff, ru?
I'm on 2% nizoral and LLLT but no anti DHT. I guess nizoral is a very mild anti DHT

some sort of dht sh*t will obviously help a lot. it did for me, i got great results with finasteride that got me back to norwood 2 (from nw3/4) that probably would kept me going a good 5/10 years until something better comes out. But the sides fucked me up good. I dont wana be all anti finasteride but lowering dht is no joke. i no most of the guys here dont get sides so good for them. its difficult to appreciate it untill it happens to you
but maybe you could try finasteride, see how it goes. or some other stuff like i mentioned.

Honestly Pavi, I think you should get on a low dose (like .25 mg) of finasteride to help prevent further loss. I think you said you don't want to because you have lower DHT levels? I'm someone that probably has low DHT levels (never had it checked but I don't have thick facial hair and have a natural "girly" build), and I have been on Finasteride for over a year with no sides.
Test it! I'm the opposite. Strong facial hair, lots of muscle mass and I was SHOCKED to find out my DHT was so low

lots of facial/chest hair hair, no muscle at all very slim/weak. terrible sides from finasteride, but great results for hair
f*****g weird. i dont know the science of any of this though. maybe there are links, maybe there arent. myabe its all just f*****g random and completely unpredicatble.

Your hair is a MIRACLE. It truly is.
Heavenly father, please let Pavi KEEP his hair. Keeping it in with Minoxidil is a miracle.
Amen.
Thank you kind sir
