   What are you referring to when you mention “applying topical *dermas* or whatever word it is? I can’t understand what term you use for that. What is it, please, and what does that do? (do you have to rinse hairspray out at night to apply the evening’s dose of Rogaine?) Thank you!

   Hi I’d like to use Rogaine for eyebrows. Are there any Rogaine products sprecifically for eyebrows? Or I can use the common one with a Q-tip. If yes then how and how many times can I apply on the eyebrows?

   yes and no. women can use it and get at times quicker results but there is an increased side effect with unwanted facial hair growth. if it occurs stop using it. some thoughts are though that after 1 year that the growth plateaus and closely approximates the 2%.

   i am a physician but i don’t dispense medical advice without a formal physician-patient relationship. there are legal issues with just giving random people random advice without a proper evaluation and consultation.

   beyond general principles, i really should not be dispensing direct medical advice. you need to ask your dispensing physician.

   I think i am going to discontinue with dutas and stick with propecia. I also heard dutas has a long half life meaning it takes 8 months to leave your system? That doesnt sound good.

   Do you know if its safe to stop dutas and move to propecia or should i wait for some time before i start propecia?

    dutasteride is approved by the FDA for the prostate not for hair loss. also, the studies with finasteride DHT blocker shows that the skin absorption component is partially helping but the blood side has no benefit and that is a huge component of the effect.

    i never thought dutasteride was not approved by FDA! is there any reason why FDA does not recognize duta?

    but it is common knowledge that dutas is absorbed buy the skin, thats why they dont advise woman to touch it.

    first, dutasteride really only works by mouth not by topical. second, i really only use FDA approved finasteride.

    yes i know that..but i wanted to say for how long you must use it?your hair stop falling and new hair starts to grow…but you said if you stiop with minoxidil your hair will fall(that new hair that grow up from minox)….so for how long you must use minox?around 4,5 years?

    you can see the first results in about… 2-3 even 4 months

    I apply 1ml when I wake up and another 1ml hours before I go to sleep

    yes thanks man…so when you buy minox…you must use it for how long?do u know that maybe?

    depends on the person, for me it works on the front… it depends mostly on the age… if you have started losing hair recently is very probably that minoxidil could regenerate all of it

    The original clinical test for minoxidil were only for the back part of the head and if you read the prospect of the product you can read that “other benefits in other parts of the head could be experienced”

    16 euros?only?here it costs around 30 euros…it’s called alomax 5%….but one guy told me that minoxidil doesn’t work on front of your head…on forehead…because that is genetically…is it true?

    so you intend to use it for how long?until the rest of your life?

21. Aurigas

    July 2nd, 2009 at 8:51 am

    21

    Yes… you must keep using it to maintain the benefits!

22. croatinho

    July 2nd, 2009 at 8:51 am

    22

    yes but what’s the point then?you must use minoxidil until you are dead?:)

    minoxidil costs about 50$…so every month you must give 50$ for minox…?

23. Aurigas

    July 2nd, 2009 at 8:51 am

    23

    Yes, you will lose all benefit of hair growth, you will lose the hair you’ve regrown in about 3-4 months.

    oh thanks man…so it’s really working?nice…but i heard from people that when they were using minoxidil 5% that their hair was great…and they had new hairs and hair was falling very slow..slower then without minox….but here is my question…i heard that when they stopped using minoxidil that their hair started to fall down again like they were not using minox…do u know something about that?

    Yeah!, I’m using it, Actually I’m on my 4 month and I see regrouth in the front part of the head!. I’m applying only in this part because the back is fine for me

    You can use minoxidil everywhere on your head, but for the most of people is more effective in the back part that in the front!
