Minoxidil question

Do minoxidil results get better in the 9-12 month range? I shed a lot in the 1-3 month phase, had great thickening from 4-5 and now at month 6 it's thinning again. I know they say rogaine takes up to 1-2 years to see the maximum regrowth and thickening potential. Can anyone chime in? I will add topical finasteride once Hasson + Wong or polichem makes it available.

though it seems many disagree with me, and obv. tons of people here take minoxidil, i do believe that minoxidil can age your face.

Not 1 minoxidil study in history has shown that. People read that it ages their face and they then begin to look at their face and examine it more than they use to. I was on minoxidil for 2 days and quit because I thought I was getting wrinkles. Guess what? That's impossible. I just didn't notice the small laugh lines before taking the drug. I realized how foolish that sounded and jumped back on it. I have regrown and thickened my hair. Now, it's shedding but it could be the cycling of the hair. Anyway, bottom line: min has at least kept me at or above baseline

good luck with your age acceleration goals of 2016

In my opinion, hair loss adds WAY more years to your appearance than a few lines in your skin.

And if you're really worried about that, you can always counteract it with proven anti-aging skin treatments like retinol/retin-A and oral collagen

I'm also not a believer that minoxidil ages the face. Im 27, been using minoxidil for years. And could pass for 18.
