Minoxidil will have no value to the transplanted hairs. Minoxidil’s has value is in the non-transplanted areas. I performed a study where I had patients apply minoxidil to 1/3rd of the transplanted area (to manage overlap) and then compared both the speed of growth and the thickness of the end result. There was no difference […]

The use of both of these topical medications is effective, as shown here; however, a considerable amount of these drugs go systemic. Great results anyway.
This is a remarkable acceleration of the early effects of topical minoxidil, which shows up in his before picture. Microneedling is most likely responsible for these good early results.
So I’ve been on finasteride for about 3 years and it’s been great, I also just had a hair transplant about 2 months ago. I started oral minoxidil right after the transplant. On my dad’s side every single man has a full beard, and I personally hate facial hair on me. I like to be […]
What if I try to enhance the enzyme activity in the scalp with Tretinoin and 1.5mm microneedling. If it still doesn’t respond after combining min tret and microneedling, then maybe I its time to think about oral. I’m afraid I have to disagree with your logic. If your scalp doesn’t contain Sulfotransferases, then adding Tretinoin […]
This is a remarkable result. This photo clearly shows that minoxidil can be very effective at reversing significant recessions without finasteride.
Young men (early 20s) often respond like this man did, sometimes even in this short period. Reversal of frontal hair loss is not common in men over 28 years of age with a combination of these drugs.
This is the type of early response one hopes for when taking these two drugs. Your hair is coming back in the corners. Keep it up, and clearly, more hair will come and from the degree of new hair that I am seeing, your hairline might return.
I started minoxidil at 18, then added finasteride and then added microneedling. I got my hair back. What should I do now? You can cut back on the microneedling to once a month. Keep up the other medication. It is likely that at 18, when you started this routine, you might have had good results […]
I have no idea if drinking topical minoxidil is safe or not but … If it were safe and effective ( that is a big if ), wouldn’t one bottle of Kirkland minoxidil last for 8 months? You can save a lot of money this way, right? Minoxidil is a dangerous medication with potentially fatal consequences. […]
Ive been taking minox for about 4 years now, (fin too) and suddenly in the past month the area where i apply has become incredibly itchy. It also looks like im losing denisty and hair in those areas, even though im not actually getting any hairs loose when i put my fingers trough it. Hair […]
There is often a shed when either minoxidil or finasteride is started. Other than the shed which tells you the drug will work on your head, there are no negative hair effects
Minoxidil has a different mechanism of action, so combining both is often better than one drug alone.
Is it worth giving up minoxidil before a hair transplant to ensure all new hair isn’t minoxidil-dependent? I only want to have a transplant once in my life, I’d like to avoid going back in a few years once my min-dependent hair has faded. Hair grown with minoxidil requires that you stay on it. I tell […]
The answer to that reflects the presence of the enzyme sulfotransferase in significant quantities in the scalp. “the follicular sulfotransferase activity of 120 pattern hair loss patients visiting a dermatology outpatient clinic in India. Overall, 40.8% of patients with pattern hair loss had low levels of sulfotransferase. “Reference: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30295395/
