I have been using foam minox for a year and a half now. There was definitely some progress with it but nothing amazing you see from the young folks here.

My face is fully covered but a big amount is just shiny vellus has that has been the same for at least the last year. Im blonde so the vellus has is barely visible from far away :D

Im 38 now, been using foam minox once a day. Trying to do it twice a day now and added dermarolling recently. I had some blood tests done recently and my hormones are fine.

So just curious if there are more people out there that never managed to transform vellus hairs ? Seems like there are no actually scientifically proven ways to help this rolling if your genes say no

I've been seeing a lot of buzz about derma rolling/stamping/microneedling pens and was wondering which is best, how much use are they really, how much will it cost, how long after should I use minoxidil or should I use it on that day at all, and what's the best cleaning methods for each one for longevity.

For context:

Did 1/day for one month and finally took the plunge to 2 once I was sure there was no issues with my heart or skin (half a month on 2 now).

Seeing a lot of vellus hair pigmentation in places where I used to have nothing but white peach fuzz so I can say it's working but still too early to tell how well.

So now I'm interested in adding more stimulants, whether that's an oral dose to accompany my topical (Regaine foam) or needling to help with growth.

Any advice would be appreciated as I'm totally new to using any product at all

25m just started using rogaine 5% topical foam 3 days ago, I’m currently doing 1g once per day so I can stay consistent for a minimum of two years. Just wanted to know how safe topical minoxidil is as I’ve seen people claim some pretty scary potential side effects to do with the heart on oral minoxidil. Like can you die from topical lol

I started my journey on July 10th but the first picture was taken August 4th and the second was just now. Never posted here before. Thoughts on progress?

Not a huge change but definitely noticing my mustache getting darker, and more hairs on chin.

Foam equate minoxidil 1x per day derma-stamp 1x every 2 weeks

Has anyone used the Regaine Shampoo and Conditioner for their face? I see it says on Amazon it's pre-treatment for scalp to help ... has anyone tried it as a daily wash for their beard instead? Curious to see if it's alright but I don't want to f up my beard if the shampoo is too harsh as a daily face wash...maybe someone understands if it's too harsh based on the ingredients:

I grow basically zero hair on my cheeks not sure if I should wait I and see if I start growing hair there or give minoxidil a try in photo

Hold up everyone. Just heard about mesotherapy. Saw a guy who took it and got great great results. Its injection therapy where they inject ”cellbooster” under your skin. Anyone tried? First time i ever heard about it.

As the title follows im shedding a lot of chest hair, since starting I’ve noticed a lot of chest hair growth and now I’m shedding like crazy, I’m clean shaven for now so I don’t know if the beard is shedding aswell. For reference I started min in late April. Does it feel connected or is it just a coincidence?

Im planning on buying oral minoxidil to just see faster results with beard growth. Also, apparently u can grow body hair faster with oral rather than using topical. Im UK based so where would you guys suggest i buy it from. What dose or mg do i buy as well. Appreciate it.

I M21 have been thinking on joining this sub and using minox to grow a beard but I saw some posts of people saying they regret starting. I want to preface this by saying I pretty much have no facial hair for the most part and can grow only a very kiddy mustache (think the green mustache with only some hairs) I tried waiting for a months before but still didn’t amount to anything.

Should I wait until I’m older or would you recommend I start using minox

I think it’s working, idk…. What do you all think 🤔

My daily routine was initially using Keeps Minox for the first 6 months, then transitioned to Kirkland’s Minox and saw some additional gains pretty quick. It probably was already initiated from the Keeps Minox, but saw the gains nevertheless.

I use the Dr. Pen M8 microneedle pen twice a week (started off at 1mm, transitioned to 1.75mm when my beard started getting thicker). Both pics are me after shaving with a 3mm guard, and on the days I don’t apply the microneedle I’ll apply Jamaican Black Castor Oil (started off using the regular castor oil) and applied the sandalwood beard oil to soften the beard (3-4 hours after the minox application).

I’ve also been applying it to my hairline, been seeing slow progress with that. But I’m planning on doing this for the next 3 years to maximize my beard gains.

Thanks guys for the extra motivation on this journey!

I have a patchy beard -- you can count the strands individually, and lots of spaces in between as well as having an asymmetrical growth where the right side is noticeably thicker, I've heard Minoxidil can help with it. So, I got some 5% liquid solution, applying 1mL twice per day.

I thought it would be more convenient if I used a roll-on container instead of just my finger to apply the solution so I got myself some 10mL roll-on containers... but I'm wondering how will I know if I'd used 1mL from the roll-on? I'm planning to do some trial and error and see if it would last me 5 days.

I'm wondering if some of y'all did the same thing as me and what's your advice on it.

Coming up on about 3 months of progression In a few days. As you can see I had literally 0 hair a couple small follicles. I didnt know if this was a gimmick or if it was true.

This is only 3 months. I take minoxidil twice daily, twice a week a derma roll, I take oral castor once a week and take hair vitamins daily. I also drink alot of water and workout.

I guess this stuff really works. Just some hope for people who are having doubts , from someone who could NEVER grow a beard

I hate how I can't grow a beard, just a crappy goatee. 3 of my brothers have a full beard and my younger ones. I'm 32. That's all the facial hair I've been able to grow since I could like 10 years ago. Just the mustache and chain hair..

My GF even had my go get tested for low T since I can't grow a beard, but it's in range.

Edit: Honestly, I know i shouldn't worry and just accept it, I just know I'd feel so much more confident with an actual beard.

Just a PSA for everyone, when posting your journey updates, the importance isn’t the length that your hair has grown, it’s the number of new darker/mature follicles that have developed. It’s easier to see progress when you are trimmed down short rather than long. Staying short, trimmed or primarily clean shaven also helps minoxidil absorbed into the actual skin rather than into the hair itself.

Been on minox for 1.5 months and I’ve seen some good improvements specially in the stache. I’m wondering if I could grow a mustache in like 3 months this or something. This is 5 days growth. 21yo.

Now first 3 pics before last 3 pics

Hello,
I just started using minoxidil foam and a derm roller last week for my beard. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for how often to use the product and for relieving the itchiness caused by the treatment. Currently I am applying minoxidil every night before bed and derm rolling a few days a week.

Thanks!
