Foligain minox sucks. Not much different than liquid.

It's nothing like Rogaine which absorbs instantly.

I hate this shit. I'm definitely going to just spend the money from now on on getting Rogaine.

I don't even know why you wasted your money on that junk.

It was cheaper and people on here kept saying that generic was the same as rogaine.

Lesson learnt.

You ever considered using minoxidle intradermally? Way more effective.

I just switched back to Rogaine. I had been using Kirkland brand for a long time but I'm beginning to think Rogaine is the only one I should've used. Since I started using it (4 days ago) I'm experiencing itch and irritation, which was normal when I was using Rogaine in the past. With Kirkland's, there was no itch or anything. I just don't know why. They're both supposed to be the same yet one causes itch and one doesn't. It's not that I like the itch or anything, but I really feel it's the proof I am using a legit product. I'll probably see thicker hair and even less shedding now that I'm using Rogaine again. I should never have switched to anything else.

You mean injecting it? I haven't heard of that before. But I imagine similar effects could be achieved using a scalp roller before the night time application.

Also, proof please. Studies or something.

I highly doubt you would achieve similar effects using a scalp roller. There was a study done (it was on women) showing that injecting minoxidil once a week yielded significantly better results than applying topically daily. I have the .pdf but I will look for it online and post it. It is quite common knowledge though that injecting will give much better results, as the dermis is a large barrier for topical applications to penetrate.

If you have the money I would recommend a mesotherapy gun. So easy to use, it's fool proof. Expensive but beats the hell out of applying topicals everyday. You could use a syringe of course, it is not that easy and unsafe if you are not experianced.

I'm going to have to see the studies before I go injecting chit into my head. I look forward to reading it.

I'm curious as to how a weekly injection out performed daily application as the half-life of Minox is 23 hours or so.

I found the link to the study, although it keeps saying 'problem loading page'. If the link does not work for you aswell I can send you the .pdf.

It's crazy because the minox was actually injected once a week for the first 4 weeks, then once every TWO weeks for the remaining 8 weeks of the trial.

Those are some great results but are you sure its real? Injecting minox into scalps sound hazardous.
