Minoxidil 7%?
hi, i have been using proscar and minoxidil 7% for over 4yrs. while the results have been satisfactory, i have been told that there is no such thing as minoxidol 7%, and i should just use the 5%. I would like to know if i am getting scammed by paying $250 a bottle for 100mls of minoxidil 7%. and should i just go to my pharmacy and buy minoxdil 5% which is so much cheaper? by the way my bottle claims to have retinoic acid 0.01% which is suppose to make a difference. One other thing i was considering having surgery done on the front hairline, as there doesn’t seem to be any other solution. thank you for your insight. i am also 28yrs old male. thank you
I do not know of a minoxidil 7% solution that is commercially sold, but it may be privately labeled. I am more familiar with the standard minoxidil 5% solution. This does not mean the 7% solution does not exist. Moreover, a stronger concentration (such as the 7%) does not necessarily mean you will have more benefit and grow more hair. Higher and higher doses may produce negative side effect such as dizziness, fatigue, and dangerously low blood pressure as your body absorbs more of it into the blood stream. The use of retinoic acid essentially causes irritation to the skin (it is an acid and produces a low burn) which, in theory, is supposed to increase the blood supply to the scalp and hence the absorption of the minoxidil. I am not a proponent of this approach. Producing a burn just does not seem like the right thing to do.
You are getting ripped off big time for your minoxidil!! I have been going to minoxidil.com for years to get stronger concentrations and have had good results. A bottle of 125ml at 15% (their strongest concentration)is $100.
I was on the Ashley and Martin program and ended up paying 4 grand for the treatment!! When my treatment came to an end I had achieved some good results, but was horrified that I needed to continue paying $1500+ for maintenance. It’s all a scam! I did what I should have done initially I went to see a dermatologist and I am now on perscribed proscar and I can get 5% minoxidil from any pharmacy. I’m saving a heap of money and still maintaining results.
hey guys,
I’m losing my hairs from last more then 2 years and my age is only 24. I went to Ashley & Martin and also innovative hair solutions, they promised me that my hair will be back within 6 to 8 months but their charges for treatment are really high. so can someone please advice me that should I go for their plans or not ?. will their program help me ? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
