Am I the only one who has problems using minoxidil? I've used Rogaine and whenever I do, I manage to get some on my hair, leaving it all greasy, and sticking together, hurting my scalp coverage. It takes a long time to dry, and when it does, it can be seen. My question is, can results be seen by just using this product at night?
 

not me!

I think as long as the applications are taken at least 4 hours apart you should be fine. I apply mine once at about 7 pm and again at 11 pm.

Anyone see a problem with this?

Possibly, as you are leaving a rather large gap in your day without an application.

you are better off applying 12 hours apart.

I use Dr lee's minoxidil which dries super-quick so actually apply it around 7am then at about 6pm then at about 12.00am, give my bonce a thrice-daily minoxidil application.

i don't reccomend taking it once a day until after one year of using it. after that year you can use it once a day to maintain what you got.. because most likely after the first year there won't be much difference

IX is right... it's best to apply it 2X for the first year then go down to 1X a day ideally.

What does getting a consultation from Dr.lee persist of, for obtaining his minoxodil? Is it a phone call, email, or an actual in person consult? I ordered it from his site but it says this consultation is necessary and my item may not be shipped if I have not done so.

Yeah same goes here, I'm wondering if it is worth the effort to fill this out. Is Dr. Lee's minoxidil really that more improved from Rogaine? What would make his product dry quicker with less appearance than Rogaine, or even work better?

It's been awhile - but here's how it worked for me.

I placed an order on his website.

I received an e-mail from his office the next day informing me I was not one of his patients, that my order request had been cancelled, and that if I wanted to become a Dr. Lee patient and order through his website that I'd have to complete an on-line form and pay the one-time fee.

Pretty painless actually (included a brief patient history) and worth the cost of admission I guess. Dr. Lee's covering his arse here. He sells prescrption items and if you want to dance to have to pay the band.

(what?)

But where else are you gonna get spironolactone, and all the different variations of minoxidil, and his home made nizoral shampoo?

I'm happy w/ his service - and once you're a patient - you get to bug him via e-mail.

Hey if you want to apply minoxidil. once a day why not look into Xandrox 15?? with 15 % minoxidil in it i think?? i just know its stronger or higher percentage of minoxidil and would be better for once a day. correct me if im wrong though.

because i dont think i would put minoxidil on 2 times a day.. im lazy but i was thinking about doing the xandrox 15 thing .. once a day and it supposedly blocks dht too??

Sorry I'm just getting back to you - didn't see this thread in awhile . . . .

I think it's a $20.00 one-time consultation fee. After that you can order away till your heart's content.

His minoxidil pricing varies based upon whether or not you're buying the straight 5%, or the xandrox, xandrox 12, 15, w/ retin-a, w/ this, without that - he's got several different forumlations.

Personally, I use his straight 5% (looks like he just dropped the price to $16 per bottle) - Oh - I also invested in one of those expensive bottles of xandrox15 (minoxidil 15%) which so far is lasting forever as I only use it a few x per week.

check here for his product pricing list

You can just go ahead and order on-line.

The next day you'll receive an e-mail from one of Dr. Lee's underlings informing you that you're not a Dr. Lee patient - but he'll also tell you how to do the on-line consult. And he'll cancel your original order.

After your on-line (e-mail) consultation w/ Dr. Lee - then you can order away.

I used to use Xandrox 5 twice a day and switched to Xandrox 15 once a day to maintain results but improve my lifestyle. Apparently the Xandrox 15 dries and is absorbed in 1 hour, so I just apply in the morning and wait an hour or two and then take a shower, before heading out for the day. I used to hate having my hair stick together because of the minoxidil before.

Also, since moving down to once a day I don't get the scalp itch I used to before (even with using Nizoral twice a week).

thats good to hear! how long have you been on the xandrox 15 once a day for the maintenance?

have you maintained or grown/ thickened any new hair since starting it?

I recieved two links in my email, one with forms that need to be printed and sent out via postal mail, and one for a referal for your doctor. I don't see any info on consulting through email. I guess I will get off my butt and hook up my printer though, and wait out the snail mail.
