Minoxidil Once A Day ; Do I Have To Double The Dose ?

[leidri]

Hi,

First of all, sorry for my english (i'm french, sorry for that too )

I hope you are all good !

So, i will start my minoxidil treatment this week end.
My dermatologist told me that i could use it once a day before bedtime (1hour)
And i read a lot of people saying it is less effective but still good

But NOBODY (for real NOBODY) say that if i have to double the dose or not.

So i question you, my friends, do i have to use 1ml at night or 2 ml at night ??
Thanks for your help <3

It depends, some use 1ml and others use 2ml. I would personally use 1ml because that sh*t drips enough into your hair and face without adding double the amount, would be a waste I think.

But is it enough ?

Individual results will vary, depends how absorbent your skin is.

Well .. so what about mine then? (kidding)

Okok so i think i will try 2 ml and if it burns my head i will back to 1

Any other opinion ?

Just go for once, in my opinion

See how it goes. If it goes well, keep at it. If it doesn't, consider adding an extra ml.

Personally I think you should do it twice, and I'll tell you why. It has to hit the target hair on the
scalp to work.

Yes, there are some people who use it once, because the half life is 22 hours, and they double the dose.

To be honest, it's best to use it on all areas that can go bald, including your hair line.

That, and hair that grows fast looks better, because it's not "exposed" to environment pollutants,
overwashing, etc.

Just make sure your scalp is clean and that minoxidil is making proper contact with your skin and isn't being dump all over the hair instead, then it won't matter if you apply it once or twice daily.

Oh well .. thanks for your help

But there are some different opinion here ahah

I dont get the last point; you think i have to use it twice and on all the scalp cause my hair wont be exposed ?

I will apply it once a day cause i cant twice a day, but i wanted to know if i had to double the dose ^^

So i just started my treatment
I put 2 ml.
But for real its not oily or what, i cant see it on my hair
And its already dry...

I dont get why all people say its boring and oily oO

Hair that grows faster is healthier.

People that use it once do double the dosage, I believe.

I just use 1 ml using a syringe and it works fine, can't imagine the results being twice as good if I used a 2 ml dose once a day.

Short on the side and longer on the top => see the picture

Ok , i tried 10 sprays (1.8 ml i think) yesterday and i had no side effect, and it dried in 20 min so ... I don't know i ll probably stay at 2
