rogaine once vs two times a day?

[Ramazan]

Has anyone experimented with the use of rogaine once vs. two times a day? What was the outcome? I have been using it for almost 2 or 2½ years two times a day and just recently cut down to once a day (2 hours before bedtime)...

[Still deciding]

Switched to 1x a day after over 5 yrs of 2x a day. Was thinking of doing it for convenience -however, once a respected Dr. from this forum advised me during an in-house consult that studies show 1x a day is sufficient, that sealed it for me. I've been doing 1x for about a year and all seems well.

I was also told that once a day is enough but to be honest, I am afraid to go down to only once a day.

[NotBelievingIt]

Does time of day matter for once a day? I would suspect you'd want to do it when blood flow in general is high.

Mornings?

Since the body heals while you are sleeping, it is probably better to put it in a couple of hours before bed.

[Tracy C]

Dare I say, mornings would actually be better as it won't rub off at all.

Even the inexpensive generic liquid Minoxidil dries in a couple of hours. Rubbing off is really only a concern if you apply it right before going bed. Even if this is a concern for you or anyone else, you can always sleep with a shower cap on your head.

For those using the liquid Minoxidil, evenings are better because the liquid is not very stealthy. And gain if rubbing off is truly a concern, wear a shower cap.

Lol, I wasn't really joking bro. It is more effective if injected. I could forward you studies on this. It is obviously a bit of a hassle and you need to learn how to do it properly, but it is common medical knowledge that any topical would work better if injected. You are trying to get past the dermis, what better way then injecting? You wouldn't waste the solution you could get the exact amount you wanted to the hair root.

*Note: Some topical solutions are NOT safe to inject

BTW do you use a dermaroller to help with penetration? If you don't, you should.
