Can Minoxidil worsen hairloss permanently?

[ukmale24]

It's been discussed before on here but no very in-depth; would be good to get some of the more experienced posters opinions.

But under the assumption that minoxidil opens up the blood vessels to let more nutrients to the follicles, could it just be letting in more DHT?

Since i started using Regaine at the start of the year, my temples and hairline just kept thinning and thinning. At first I thought it was a good sign it was working but it's never really improved. Finally I gave up at the end of august, my hairline has definitely gone up about 1cm-2cm. I have ordered Polaris NR-07 as it's got apply polyphenols in which is meant to be good for the hairline, & as i'm now taking finasteride too.

what minoxidil are you talking on? ironically, minoxidil seemed to work on the top of my hair using regaine liquid but seemed to lessen my hairline - i just don't get it, they should have the same effect.

& i was on finasteride for 2 months with a month break inbetween as i waited for my next batch to come through.

(also applying a face serum around my hairline as it has apple stem cell tech, hyaluronic acid and matrixyl3000)
& recently started applying folligen once a day as someone off her sent me a small sample size bottle/

It's a stupid theory based on nothing that flies in the face of the actual research done on minoxidil.

Explain how/why it's a stupid theory? I'd say that was a pretty stupid, narrow-minded post. This is why I was asking for some of the more experienced posters to come and give their opinions. So GTFO noob.

Thanks for the reply monty.

Minoxidil on Wiki says that it is a vasodilator? Although i don't even know the difference between the two! I'd say mine was pretty aggressive too. I wonder if using minoxidil without finasteride for 8-9months did more harm to me. Anyway, i'm on finasteride regularly now and i got polaris labs nr07 the other day which i've started using. Will give it a go for 3 months and see if i notice a difference on the hairline.
