Dr. Neera, Skin Surgeon. Harvard-trained dermatologist & Mohs micrographic surgeon. drneeranathan@gmail.com. Day 1 of using Minoxidil. The correct way to use minoxidil to maximize hair growth. Minoxidil is like fertilizer for your scalp. From thin to thick vs where we started. Then you need the correct way. And let me show you exactly minoxidil to maximise hair growth. Rogaine Women's 2% Minoxidil Solution for Hair Regrowth, 3 Month Supply. 4.0 (358). 1. Use"Men's" 5% minoxidil foam. $66.49. $11.08/oz. Concentration matters. Brand does not. Don't waste your time with 2% women's Rogaine. Get the 5% version instead that's marketed to men. Save $$$ with generic! Dollars by buying Kirkland or another generic brand. 2. Use a derma roller/dermastamp 1-2x/week before minoxidil. Really wanna maximise hair growth. A gentle derma roller or derma stamp before minoxidil. Always sanitize before use, 0.25-0.5 mm needles. A few times because it may help stimulate blood flow and help absorb better. And to see. 3. Apply minoxidil every night for AT LEAST 3-6 months. Caution: toxic to pets. You need to apply minoxidil every least three to six months. Well after use. Can you stop minoxidil? Do you have to use minoxidil forever? But can you ever stop minoxidil without losing hair? If you have a temporary form of stress induced shedding like postpartum hair loss called telogen effluvium. For stress shedding: generally YES. Likely taper off minoxidil as soon grows back. If you have a widening of your part like this. Can you stop minoxidil? For androgenetic alopecia: must keep using or transition to another tx. Then you probably have androgenetic alopecia. A chronic form of hair loss. Meaning you must keep using minoxidil or transition to another product that stimulates hair growth to maintain those gains.
