hows effective is minoxidel on diffuse thinning?

[jack2]

I always hear statistics like 20 percent get good regrowth and another 30-40 get moderate regrowth. But I have diffuse I dont need regrowth.
Ive been on the minoxidel just under 6 weeks, and proscar 1 year (maintained with slight thickening) slight being the key word.
I would like to hear some of your experinces. or any information you have on minoxidels effects on diffuse thinning.
thanks.

Minoxidil is very good at thickening hair follicles that are thinning. So it is effective.

I don't know stats off the top of my head.

I always thought diffuse was hair loss not fixed to the traditional male pattern baldness pattern areas (like Telogen Effluvium vertex and temples) but general hair loss throughout the entire scalp area?

Have you just got thin hair?

Maybe Ketoconazole would be of benifit to you.
