Yes. Minoxidil, orally, is a hypotensive medication, and taking it at varying times in the day may inadvertently increase the effective dose. Minoxidil can produce lightheadedness, which could be a sign of hypotension (low blood pressure).
https://www.medscape.com/s/viewarticle/998852?form=fpf Excerpt: “The open-label extension trials of deuruxolitinib for alopecia areata in adults show a persistent climb in response with the majority of patients achieving complete or near complete hair regrowth by 52 weeks, according to data presented at the annual congress of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology.”
One question, how long can I expect finasteride and minox to keep my hair around. Since I’m pretty early on in life, I’m worried they’ll grow less effective the more I take them. But, I just don’t know how it works. Is me responding well a good indication they may last longer? I’m hoping to […]
If someone has a tight scalp, can they at least use the balloon expander to increase laxity to obtain a strip? Or if they are revising a big strip scar when the skin is tight, can they use the expander to excise the scar without leading to another big scar? Tight scalps usually don’t cause […]
My hair loss is due to my kidney transplant that I received over two years ago. The medication causes hair loss. Before my kidney issues/transplant I had a lot of hair. I have been on Minoxidil for 3 weeks, I am currently going through the “shedding face” super scary. However I’ve heard that Minoxidil is […]

So about 3 Years ago I got a FUE hair transplant I was 24 with a NW7. I had 2000 Grafts done in the front of my head. Planned on getting another 2000 towards the back of my head. I didn’t like how the first one turned out, so i didn’t do that. It didn’t […]
https://peerj.com/articles/3020/ “Our data show that, in a cohort of men exposed to 5Alpha-RIs, the duration of 5Alpha-RI exposure was a more accurate predictor of PED (Persistent Erectile Dysfunction) than many known risk factors, including age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cigarette smoking, ethanol abuse, obesity, and depression. In our data, confounding by age or extent of healthcare […]
This is an excellent article discussing the safety and effectiveness of oral minoxidil. “Systemic adverse effects were infrequent and only 1.7% of patients stopped the treatment due to adverse effects.” https://www.jaad.org/article/S0190-9622(21)00418-7/pdf This second article reviewed 10 published papers addressing oral minoxidil use for alopecia in men and women: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32516434/ Results: Ten articles were included for review […]
Yes, a hairline lowering surgery can cause a scar. In this example, an unusually bad scar resulted. I say unusual, because incisions that are horizontal on the forehead tend to heal well. I suspect that this man had either unusual tension as the advancement was closed by the surgeon (most probable cause) or this particular […]
This patient had a hairline lowering procedure. The scar is a complication of this type of surgery, especially when the wound is placed under tension. To avoid this, a low tension closure is critical but this often limits how much the hairline can be lowered. A hair transplant lowering surgeon, of course, does not have […]

Dr. Rassman’s Comment: The study is small (15 patients) but the conclusion is significant that microneedling doesn’t help either grow hair or improve existing hairs. I don’t necessarily agree with the message delivered by these authors as we have been seeing considerable hair growth in many young men using microneedlin; nevertheless, I always strive to […]
This article requires a lot of patient feedback which can be quite subjective; nevertheless, the focus of the article is interesting and I suspect would be as good with finasteride as with dutasteride.
