Both Rogaine (minoxidil) and Finasteride have peak actions in about 2 years. They usually maintain the benefits provided […]
I don’t believe that minoxidil will slow the mature hairline from appearing.
I’ve tried rogaine in the past and it surprisingly worked really well. I stopped due to having shortness of breath. I was able to take in air but it felt like a low amount would go in from what I would breathe in if that makes sense. I never had shortness of breath associated with […]
Yes, especially when the hair loss is in the crown, minoxidil can be very effective. It is less effective in the frontal area.
My hair follicles must be so weak, that my hair is falling out excessively while applying rogaine foam. Hands are covered in hair when finished. I’m nervous, especially along with the initial shed that I’ve heard of. Will rogaine strengthen these follicles, is this normal? If you just started using it, I would not be […]
The single biggest risk is the appearance of hair elsewhere on the body, like facial hair. If the Rogaine (Minoxidil) gets absorbed by the body, it can stimulate vellus hairs to turn into more visible hair in the areas of the mustache, beard area, etc..

Hair loss or balding in men is mainly due to genetic predisposition/ inheritance. It may not follow an exact father to son path but it is nevertheless a genetic trait. There are medications such as Propecia or Rogain to address the genetic male pattern balding and it works better in some men. However it does […]
Minoxidil is known to cause shedding in the initial use. It is not comparable to trauma. The hair should come back and start reversing from the short term loss within 2 or so months. The various acids in the 82M or other similar medications generally cause the scalp irritation, dryness and flaking. The basic theory […]
I think it should be quite simple by using the medication as directed. Rogaine 5% is a topical medication and it is to be used twice a day on the area of balding on the scalp. Applying it, unfortunately, is not a science especially when you have to put it one in areas you can […]
