All treatments for hairfall or baldness are temporary as it is caused by hormones and hormones can never be removed from body. But regular use of these medications can defeinitely arrest hairfall and imrpove hairgrowth. Minoxidil may sometimes increase if you already have dandruff. Finasteride has some side effects and not regularly given to all.
