instead we have mad mens who suggest to put it directly on your face in order to promote beard growth...
it should be well known by now that minoxidil damages collagen and elastin
by inhibiting collagen
by causing oxidative stress (minoxidil is basically a free radical nuclear bomb)
by transforming type III collagen into type I collagen which makes the skin feels less supple and less resistant to oxidative stress like sunlight
by melting/flushing subcutaneous fat away, eg under your eyes giving you an old look
this all leads to increased ageing of skin and lines like tear through or nasolabial folds
this all can happen very rapid and in a short perpiod of time.
Even worse these changes are often permanent..its a misconception that the damage will dissapear once you quit. there is no magic mechanism that type I collagen transforms back to type III collagen ..
there is no mechanism that brings your subcutan fat back to your eyes..no if youre unlucky you have to get fillers every 6 month to repair at least some of the damage
whicv means..if you see it it can be already too late
everyone is whinning about finasteride but when it comes to skin and aesthetics minoxidil is way more dangerous. in fact i think the risks of finasteride are way over overstated why the risks of minoxidil are way to underestimated.
