I posted an email from a reader a couple days ago regarding topical minoxidil and facial wrinkles, and received some feedback worth posting. Dr. Damkerng Pathomvanich from Thailand reached out to me to speak of his experience in treating hair loss patients with oral minoxidil. He states: The use of oral minoxidil for treating hair […]

My wife used minoxidil and developed dry skin, a known side effect. There are many side effects in the minoxidil insert in it when you buy it. Did you read it? I’m still not clear about wrinkles forming due to minoxidil, and I’m not going to call it a “fact” until I have clinical evidence […]
Aside from that previous post from a reader, I’ve never heard complaints about wrinkles being caused by minoxidil. None of my patients have reported that to me. The studies you sent are interesting, but I’m not convinced that minoxidil will cause wrinkles. You might have some kind of allergic skin reaction to an ingredient in […]
You need an evaluation by a physician if Propecia is an option. You need a miniaturization study to see just what is going on and to establish a baseline for whatever treatment you elect. I generally recommend 5% minoxidil over the 2%. There is no guarantee that if you regrew hair with Propecia and/or minoxidil […]

Considering im only 19 this is a big thing for me and im thinking of quitting minoxidil since my doctor just prescribed me Dutasteride and ive been on it […]
It just shows that Internet can be a great source of information as well as mis-information. Thus I advocate seeing a doctor face to face to ask your medical questions. Please point me to the link on this BaldingBlog if you have found a conflicting information on side effects. You can easily do a search […]
Some people do develop facial changes with minoxidil. For example, women have reported increased facial hair growth when they use minoxidil somewhat frequently. As for lines under your eyes, some might be quick to point out that we’ve posted messages from readers in the past that suggested they had premature wrinkles caused by using minoxidil. […]
I do not believe there is a medication that really works (or proven to work) for treating telogen effluvium. If you have a diagnosis of chronic telogen effluvium, I would unfortunately think that your response to a drug would be even less. I don’t think it would help to a point that you’ll be able […]
I personally do not believe applying a topical medication on your scalp will cause wrinkles on the face, but we’ve written about this before here. What paper are you referring to? The one I’m aware of is relating to rats, not humans. If you are concerned about such side effects, speak to your doctor and […]
So a few years ago I started to lose my hair and develop dark circles and facial wrinkles. I tried minoxidil for a while with limited results, then gave that up. Then on a hunch I read up on vitamin D deficiency, and found out that one of the symptoms was hair loss. I started […]
When a formal drug study is done it is carried out on thousands of people and the side effects are reported. When the drug is actually used by millions of people, I am sure there are rare side effects that were never reported that will come to light. I do not mean to dismiss or […]
As I have nothing to base an opinion on, I can not tell you what I think, but if you show me a photo of your frontal view from the eyebrows up and your brow lifted as high as you can get it so that the wrinkles in the forehead appear clearly, I will give […]
