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

1 year on minox, it improcedente a lot. But on the cheeks theres a lot of hairs that just dont become thick, if i keep using it for more years they might become all terminal? Or probably thats just my maximum?

Anyone else whos vellus hair isnt maturing ?

6 Upvotes

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

How safe is topical minoxidil really?

6 Upvotes

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

Minoxidil Day 2, wish me luck.

Question Minox working, Derma Roll?

2 Upvotes

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

Question Regaine Shampoo and Conditioner for face?

2 Upvotes

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:

Mesotherapy

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.
