Does dermatologist recommended men's rogaine (minoxidil) foam-5% work for women with hair thinning happening for 5-6 years? do i need to apply it twice like men?

Rogaine (minoxidil) for women: Rogaine (minoxidil) 5% has been shown to work better for women than rogaine (minoxidil) 2%. It does need to be applied twice a day also. The one drawback is that with the 5%, women are more likely to grow peachfuzz on their cheeks that with the 2%. Usually that peachfuzz disappears a few weeks after the treatment is stopped.

Rogaine (minoxidil) 5% in Women: Most dermatologists that treat female pattern hair loss use rogaine (minoxidil) 5%. Speakers at medical meetings recommend 5% rogaine (minoxidil) for hair loss in women.
