    People complain about the aging of minoxidil. Balding will age you more, and to combat this, you have three options moisturizer, retinoids, or botox. Look at Ronaldo and other male celebrities. They are getting work multiple procedures done as they age. Dark circles/eye bags are almost inevitable as you age. Social media just gives you a skewed view with filters.

    When I increased my Minoxidil from 1.25mg to 2.5mg I definitely experienced puffiness under my eyes. I decided to go back down to 1.25mg and it’s improved but not completely gone. Right now I’m contemplating stopping all together. And on a side note, I used topical minoxidil for 3 months, with amazing results. Unfortunately, after 3 months, I started to get serious skin irritation and had to stop.

    • @jasonbatchelor6460
      @jasonbatchelor6460 ปีที่แล้ว

      @TheCinderellaman10 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​​@@alonsomelojunior3887always start on the lower dose and if you get positive results then great, keep going and when results tend to slow or plateau then increase by small increment for a few months and go again and then you will find a dosage where you will keep seeing results on a lower dose. But remember we humans also suffer seasonal hairloss as in the winter my hair seems thinner or weaker but in the sun in summer. It's thicker, and seems to grow more. But also a great idea to shower and wash scalp and hair with cool to cold water and I see much better results in hair and scalp condition better blood flow etc

    Hey Rolandos. I'm unable to take finasteride due to the sides after many attempts. I've been on 5mg of oral minoxidil (2.5mg for the first three months) for about 9 months and it has been a game changer for me. Hair and beard is much thicker and hair in general feels much fuller. Zero side effects! After 14,468 grafts I'll take any benefits that I can get! Great to see you again man and all the best!

      @danke1150 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You will continue to lose hair without a DHT blocker. You can try topical finasteride if you're prone to side effects, but it is possible those side effects are just nocebo because many anecdotal reports on finasteride side effects were not witnessed in the proscar (5mg finasteride for prostate) studies.
      Either way, without a DHT blocker you're just delaying it but not stopping it.

    Rodney Sinclair, the doc who started the oral minoxidil trend, said he sees oral minoxidil stop the progression of hair loss in over 90% of people. I am personally on 5 mg and had a huge shed in the first few weeks but now I shed almost zero hair. The max amount of hairs I see in the shower are maybe 1-3. Also a long time dutasteride user but definitely saw more shedding using dut as a mono therapy, closer to 10-20 hairs before adding oral minoxidil.

    1. Started taking finasteride 1mg and minoxidil 2.5mg orally. I am 51 and I feels great. I was not expecting to see any result until after 6 month or non at that I though it was just a scam.

    It does not look like you had any under eye bags develop while on oral minoxidil. There are probably some a**holes trolling you, who should just be ignored. I tried Loniten at 1.25 mg per day, and my whole left side felt tingly, with wicked chest tightness after 2 weeks, so I quit. Topical minox 8% compounded with 0.01% tretinoin is working well for me. If you want to try something else, maybe consider other topicals like spironolactone, cetirizine, or high concentration latanoprost.

    Those wrinkles under they eyes comes from sleeping. Its a well know issue, as people get older, the wrinkles from sleeping will get stronger, because our skin is less and less flexible. They tend to be sharp right after waking up and they smooth out more or less during the day. However, with aging, the ability of the skin to smooth out is less and less. One way to get rid of it, is to sleep on one's back, which is considered to be the healthiest for bloodflow and heart. These wrinkles are most visible if you sleep on your stomach or sideways.

      Actually minoxidil accelerates collagen loss. To say eye wrinkles are only from sleeping and aging is wrong because we all know lifestyle choices, diet, skin care pollution, all kinds of factors affect aging and skin. Turns out minoxidil is one of them for many people, and it certainly doesn't de-age you

    • @gergelyzoltan8422
      @gergelyzoltan8422 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@rejuvenator8966 it doesnt do the skin any good, no one disputes that. But you can see tons of people having circles who dont use minoxidil. And after a certain age, wrinkels come from sleep as well . And, as we get older, the skin loses the ability to recover. Thats why its agood idea to apply cream always, whether you use minox or dont. Alos taking collagen supplements is a good idea, irrespective of minox use.

    • @rejuvenator8966
      @rejuvenator8966 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@gergelyzoltan8422 well yeah totally agree with that. I guess the challenge is determining whether dark circles and skin deterioration are coming from minox use or if it is for other reasons, cause one needs to determine if continuing minox is safe or worth the downsides. So basically if skin deteriorates noticeably during first months of minox use even when using basic moisturizer (so it's not just dry skin), odds are that minox is causing it. Then some people seem to prefer continuing minox and combatting skin deterioration with a new skin care routine etc. But then without minox the same skin care routine would yield even more youthful results, so it does come down to preference: Good skin and bad hair or less good skin and a bit better hair lol
