    Default Wrinkles and Minoxidil/Foam

    Assuming wrinkles occur due to minoxidil/foam usage, do they go away once the product is discontinued?

    Minoxidil doesn't cause wrinkles.

    I was getting light senile spots or "liver spots" on my frontal part of the head where I was applying liquid minoxidil. I was overdosing, once I took normal dosage they went away.

    Minoxidil reduces collagen, it has been studied before. I was very young, 23 when this happened. Surely at 23, you're not supposed to get senile spots on your skin, specifically where you are applying something that is known to reduce collagen? And the way I was using it, 2ML twice a day, that's 4ML, twice the recommended dosage. I can see how maybe on an older person minoxidil can age the skin faster.

    Minoxidil inhibits collagen, that's true, but it has never been proved to cause wrinkles.

    Age spots have nothing to do with collagen synthesis.

    I don't say that enough: stop scaring the newbies.

    Heard it causes wrinkles and rings around the eyes due to something in the product...

    Yes that's right, you "heard".

    Once an idea is implanted in people's mind, they start to see things.

    If a study said minoxidil might cause tinnitus because it inhibits this or that, I'm sure that in no time, there would be posts of people claiming minoxidil has ruined their hearing.

    yes, I "heard" from a bunch of users from this forum and hair loss talk that people get it.

    that's why I asked if it goes away once the product is discontinued, I didn't come asking if its a side or not since I know it is. BTW, how would you know, you don't even take fin or minox and complain about having no hair, you're opinion means less than an infants

    I've been applying minoxidil for more than 4 years. Your argument is invalid.

    Its spelled "you're"

    But since you don't get any sides then I guess nobody does either. Nice logic.
