Hair Growth With Minoxidil? Posted: 07-22-06 22:44pm
Topical minoxidil stimulates hair growth
right? I have a few questions regarding
this drug. First, does minoxidil induces
growth of terminal hair? (instead of
fine, poorly pigmented hairs like lanugos
in babies). Second, does application of
minoxidil on other body parts with hair
follicles (apart from the scalp) effects
hair growth as well? And third, what are
the complications associated with this
drug, both topically and systemically?
Thanks for your help.

This is probably the wrong forum for this,
but minox will grow the terminal hairs on
the hairline and everywhere else. Some
people are now putting it in their beards
to make them grow, but i dunno if it is
safe. The one side effect of minox I know
of is collagen deformation which means
your face will age quicker.
