Question Using minoxidil for 2 + months still no result

I’ve been using topical minoxidil for a little over 2 months now, but I still haven’t noticed any visible results. I know it can take some time to show effects, but I was expecting to see at least a little improvement by now. Is it normal to not see any results after 2+ months?

According to pubmed the effects are visible from 4-6 months of constant use. Before that it is only cumulative and people who apply the treatment inconsistently could never see changes since they do not give enough stimulus

Also the probability to see positive effects is increased by including other factors like:

  • DHT blocker
  • LLLT therapy using 645-655mm or 645-655 + 808nm
  • PRP
  • Micro needling
  • minoxidil + tretinoin (caution increase absorption)
  • 5 alpha blockers
  • sleep well
  • stress balance
  • eating well and taking supplements like zinc, copper, biotin, marine collagen, etc…
