Do you think that potassium iodide enhances the effect of minoxidil and is the main active ingredient?
Jambap when you apply the betadine then the minoxidil do you wash it out before you reapply them the next day ?Because I already have a full head of hair the dark colour doesn't bother me because it's hidden in the hair. It actually helps hide the thinner areas. On top of that I love how it gets stiff when it dries which is why it is the antidote to the greasiness of Minoxidil. So for me it's has multiple benefits
No idea mate. I'd say it's more to do with Iodine's wound healing properties which makes it a potent adjunct to microneedling.Do you think that potassium iodide enhances the effect of minoxidil and is the main active ingredient?
Nah, just apply it again. But I'm not encouraging that nor discouraging it. I just know that for me if I make my regimen too cumbersome I can't maintain for the long term. So I just do what seems safe enough and not too inconvenient. But then everyone's got their personal habits. But the success I've experienced is doing it like this, so do with that as you wish.Jambap when you apply the betadine then the minoxidil do you wash it out before you reapply them the next day ?
Hi Troy! How have you been? Definitely miss the good old days. How has your hair been holding up?Hey Jambap / JWM - I'm the poster formerly known as Troymaclure (couldn't login under that name here, forgot my details). Anyway, I was really chuffed to see you guys posting on here, and reminiscing about the old days - I don't think I could have got through those times without you all.
Jambap how has the Zix been working out for you?
Like you, I could always be doing better, but for a guy that is now 50, I still have a decent head of hair. For the past few years, I'd say my regimen has been pretty basic. Minoxidil 1-2 x a day, and 2.5 mgs of Finasteride a day. If I'm not too tired, I try to use minoxidil liquid (about 2 mls) on a hydrated scalp to increase absorption. If I'm feeling lazy, I'll use the foam.Hey JWM , all good thanks ! Things arent too bad but could always be better How's about you, settled into a firm regimen these days?
