I have been following a thread on another forum where it has mentioned respiratory related side effects, for example if using minox has caused you breathing difficulty then Nanoxidil will more than likely have the same effect too.

I've not had any significant shedding since I been on it, however I'd had a pretty monster shed from saw palmetto a month before starting Nanoxidil.

It's a little early for me to say if it is working, but I've got some baseline pictures and I'll post them along with updated pictures in a couple of months.


i also got dark rings around my eyes and puffy face (from water retention)

@Zoidberg; Thanks so much man, really appreciate your input. Looking to start treatment myself, mostly worried about the dreaded shed period.

Pictures would be great! Good to keep a pictorial journal for accuracy in documenting results, although make sure same conditions with every photo (lighting, time of day, angle, etc.)

@NeedHairASAP; Interesting, and just to clarify this is from Nanoxidil, not minox, correct? Perhaps you could elaborate on the 'water retention' part of your post? A little new to the terminology over here. Thanks!

no, those were the effects of minox. water retention is when your body retains more water than normal.. this is what leads to puffy face and cheeks... you can retain water in different areas of the body

Great, thanks for clarification. Curious if Nanoxidil would bear similar effects. Perhaps not, due to the altered molecular structure. Then again, it is entirely possible that Nanoxidil use could bring about similar sides as Minox. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

My Spectral DNC-N came in the mail. Still in the box, weighing options whether or not I should start treatment. Two things worry me, 1. shedding period and 2. it is expensive to use continually.

I think you said the same thing about TRX2.. haha


there is a photo of the strange growth below. You can see where my hairline is and you can see a patch towards my temple. In the front of the patch are some really short hairs. You may also be able to notice the same looking short hairs all around my hairline. Miniaturization or regrowth? Its probably impossible to tell from the pictures, its impossible to tell in person.
