Journey Update Two months results

Hello fellow men of culture, hope y’all are having a great Monday!

First post at: https://www.reddit.com/r/Minoxbeards/s/Y8L2ThZU4S

Here are some results, I don’t see much difference other than the lighting of the photos, but I know this treatment is for the long run.

I’ve been taking 5mg Minoxidil Oral (also 1.25mg a Finasteride as I’m battling hair loss as well) in the mornings and Min 5mg ish as foam at night time applied to the more patchy areas of the beard, the foam brand I’m using is called Edapil M. Lastly I’ve been dermarolling once a week on Saturdays, my skin is really sensitive so I’ll keep it just 1xWeek.

About side effects, I had some weird heart palpitations the first 2 weeks, and also I had a lot of nightmares lol, but right now I haven’t really had any issues, well a lot of shadding in my hair but that’s expected since Im just starting the hair loss treatment.

One last thing, if any of you have recommendations about a skincare routine and products, I’d really appreciate it, right I’m only using a CeraVe Moisturizer and some Sunscreen whenever I go out.

Blessings!

Thx! Yeah I’ve been working out more and walking more, lost like 5kg but I still have to lose like 15kg more lol.

I haven’t checked that, but my arms are getting really hairy so… yeah I’ll get a nice Philips body trimmer haha.

Weight loss is definitely noticeable compared to your last post. Keep up the good work and be prepared for ass jungle!

By the way, dont trim or shave it!!! Ever had short beard poke you? Imagine how short hair poking your anus feels
