Honestly if the oral minoxidil is helping, you're going to have to choose to be a bald man or a wolfman. There are creams you can use to remove unwanted hair and there are laser treatments or just shaving it. Its a pain in the *** to shave but keeping a full head of hair sounds like a good trade off. I pluck some of the excess hair and it usually stays away for awhile.
i pluck every day, every second at the latest... not much else you can do...
I think there are creams for removing or at least thinning out some excess hair. One of my friends uses a cream at least on his body and a lot of hair falls out.
ah yes, of course... i was more thinking about facial hair... body hair should work though...
I've seen women remove unwanted facial hair with these little laser pen things
well i dont need it^^ i shave every day anyway and the rest i just pluck before its getting out of hand and i look like you^^
thanks. My main fear is that sometimes those who use it for beard are able to keep their beard after stopping the drug. I really hope that after quitting the drug the unwanted hair all fall because of the noraml hair cycle again
if you quit that it will stop... that is for sure... and the new hair wont be as long, it should go back to how it was before...
Body hair is different to head hair. It stays, some of it at least. I used topical min for 3-4 months and peach fuzz became darker. My upper arms have small dark hairs now that have stayed for years afterwards.
sure i know that if i quit the growth will stop but i would like to go back to its previous state. those hair on my upper cheek, near the nose are weird as f***.
Well I didn’t get them but I assume they will. The way I see it is, if you had hairs that were eventually going to darken as you aged naturally(which would happen) minoxidil speeds that up and keeps those. That’s why guys can keep their beards gains after they quit. You wouldn’t have grown hair naturally all over your face so that will fall off.
those were microscopic hair before ( totally invisible). And i really doubt i would have any body hair , being already 28 yo taking dutasteride 1.5 mg daily with no body hair previously
28 is young. I’m 34 now and hair is developing much more now in the last year. I’m not hairy but I’m certainly not like I was 5 years ago. You will grow body hair naturally in your 30s and 40s.
Exactly how many electrolysis doctors have u talked to? I'm 41 now, and I had electrolysis done on my upper cheeks to shape my beard line when I was 32 and the hair never returned. Electrolysis works by destroying the individual hair follicle at the "root" so it is impossible for it to regrow again. I don't see how minoxidil can revive a hair follicle that has been intentionally destroyed at its core of genesis. However, you should know that electrolysis can be painful and costly ($75/Hour) over large areas because you are actually destroying each individual hair at a time. But for small areas like your cheeks it's affordable and permanent.
