    Didn't you go through a HT to fix this? How are your corners fairing now? I'm starting to think a transplant may be my only option at this point to fix my hairline.
    Yeah, the minoxidil didn't succeed in bringing my corners back so I opted for surgery.

    I have been using 1x a day on the crown for 14 months and have had some regrowth and thickening. I have been using it on the rest for 6 months and have noticed minor thickening. This is along with nizoral 2% 2x/ week. I would say that it does work for maintenance and some regrowth and thickening. It depends on how aggressive your case is, I can't imagine it is completely halting my loss.

    Once a day has been fine for me. BTW I honestly don't think minox can speed up mpb like some think. I do believe that it can "appear" to speed things up but there is a difference.

    I say this because when my crown first began to to thin, it came on pretty fast. when I added 5 % I went through rapid growth/loss cycles. So at times it looked like thing were getting worse really fast. But the hair would regrow just as fast. The net result after about 1/5-2 years was I was still losing and continued to do so till I added propecia.

    Isn't it an oxymoron? How can you continue to lose hair, when you observe thickening?

    I'm going to try 1x a day instead of twice a day. I've some white stains on my scalp and it's itching alot. Guess it's from the minoxidil

    I hadn't had surgery in the 'after' photos here. The pics I posted are all related to minoxidil.

    It is possible that some people must use it 2x daily to see results, but they are simply weaker responders. In this case, switching to 10% once daily would be much more reasonable.

    Personally, i have never regrown anything worthy of note on minoxidil, but i rate it very highly for its ability to maintain hair.
    hi do you experiecnce any side effects during the 16 years use , like black circle , puffy face winkle , make you lool like years older than you actually are
