5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How much Minoxidil goes systemic?
The conversation is about the systemic absorption of Minoxidil and the potential switch from topical to oral Minoxidil due to its effectiveness. The user considers oral Minoxidil after experiencing no side effects from a year of using 15% topical Minoxidil.
community Flakey scalp due to minoxidil?
Minoxidil can cause scalp flaking and dryness, often due to its alcohol content. Switching to foam minoxidil or using antifungal shampoos like Ketoconazole may help reduce these side effects.
community Minoxidil experiment on single hair follicle
Minoxidil was applied to a single miniaturized hair follicle over four months, resulting in less miniaturization but not yet terminal growth. The user used a 5% minoxidil solution, specifically the Regaine brand, and observed changes using a handheld WiFi microscope.
community If I can’t tolerate oral or liquid minoxidil, is foam worth trying or a waste of time?
Foam minoxidil may be a good alternative for those who experience irritation from liquid minoxidil, though opinions on its effectiveness vary. Some users suggest oral minoxidil as a more effective option with fewer side effects at low doses, while others recommend foam or alcohol-free topical versions for sensitive scalps.
community Should I stop minoxidil before a hair transplant to avoid post-surgery shedding?
Stopping minoxidil 6 months before a hair transplant may reveal true hair density but could cause shedding. If quitting minoxidil post-transplant, expect potential thinning of minoxidil-dependent hairs; consult a surgeon for advice.
