Take A Look At What Oral Minoxidil Did To My Left Temple

[Throwaway94]

decent regrowth? Improvement in overall density?

Not at all. I'm not doing anything against DHT so I've just been losing hair the entire time, but the hair I have left has regrown a bit wirier and darker so I think it helps cosmetically compared to where I would otherwise be. I hate the change in texture though, I used to have really nice soft and fine hair.

Before oral min.Rolling add topical must be used.
Microneedling improves minoxidil response in androgenetic alopecia patients by upregulating follicular sulfotransferase enzymes.

So use MIcroneedling even if min is oral? Am I understanding this correctly?

and do you all think 2.5 MG of oral min (with no other drugs) will maintain hair for as long as finasteride? If not, for how long will it? Thanks

Oral min will not maintain your hair. Its a growth promoter but DHT will still bind and miniaturize your hair. You need finasteride or duta to maintain and you need microneedling&OM to promote growth.

DANG. I don’t want to negatively affect beard development I’m only 23 and new hairs are poking out of beard. If I take finasteride my sh*t will stop.

Oral min + dermaroll on your beard. It will still come in. Im certain of it.

Will it come in just the same or short of what it naturally would’ve? And how long for it to come in? Also, what is the procedure for microneedling the beard and what is the recommended dosage of oral min? Been reading many different preferences on that. Curious if I should split between morning in night too.

if you’d like, you can see my beard’s current state on Reddit at u/throwawayminoxbeard1. Chin is weakest point but sides aren’t perfect nor is moustache.

No idea how much or how long or how fast it will come in. Nobody knows.

As for optimial micro needling technique, you can find online sources on that, Im not sure either.

As for OM dosage, many on this forum will tell u atleast 5mg. I would say 2.5mg.

That's crazy. I also got a few more hairs on my forehead and cheekbones starting oral minoxidil but not like this. Leg and arm hair grows longer though that's starting to piss me off, and for my back and shoulders I'm seeing a few darker ones pop up amongst all the peach fuzz lol

Any new beard hair growth?

Any new beard hair growth?

Bit thicker and bristlier, also crept further down neck but nothing drastic

 

[Ascension]

Damn these results are great. I experienced something close to this, but now my results are almost totally Gone. All the small hairs are gone and my hairline is receding badly again with that itch on the right side.

I know it’s still “working” because my eyes are so swollen with fluid like they were when I first starterd

why are all the hair gone what did you change?

 

[Ascension]

Yeah, oral min is great, everyone should give it a try for at least 6 months, preferably 12 months, only main side i get from it is water retention, but the spironolactone i use takes care of that. I have used 10mg for the majority of the time i have been on it but have went as high as 20mg before, only using 5mg currently. I had an ECG done when i was using 10mg and there were no major problems with my heart.

i dont understand why do you take spironolactone thats some strong stuff for men? do you have serious side effects from it?

 

[Will Be an Egg in 5 years]

I have family history of heart disease so.. It's a big no for me. But great resultsw

 

[Ziggyz123]

I dropped the dosage back then to try and get rid of the swelling in my face and it negatively impacted my hair. I’ve been of minoxidil for some time now and holy hell am I shedding. I dropped below baseline by a bit I guess due to it strengthening the corners of my hairline when it was working. Those hairs have shed leaving me with like diffuse patches. Hopefully it goes back to baseline

damn that sucks so much, are you also using finasteride or any dht blocker? im gonna do the same go up to 5mg a day and slowly very slowly taper off to 1 and maybe 0 if i see im not losing anything gained.

this guy says that potentially you can keep the gainz from minoxidil.

 

[Jacoby77]

I had some good growth on my left temple.
1st pic last year
2nd pic now

Yeha but now the side effects commence. I don't want to go near that sh*t apparently it's bad. Risk reward eh.

 

[losingbattle88]

U guys are stupid af just buy the liquid minoxidil put 2 drops into a capsule and swallow that's roughly 2mg. It's totally safe.
