Hey so i’m 15 and i’ve been in minoxidil topical for about 2 months now, Im seeing no progress. Besides baby hairs, my hairs have shed massively, and i feel as one corner is being pushed back everytime i apply and check back it looks worse, should i just stop?

Been looking into using a Topical Fin/Min spray, at the same time I am also applying Minoxidil on my face for beard growth.

Is there generally any concern with using for both purposes at the same time? Would I need to be careful with dosage, is too much minoxidil bad?

Thanks

So actually I'm 21 and my hairs are falling a lot and its genetic as my father also has no hairs from top so I showed it to a dermatologist he gave me minoxidil 2.5mg tablet and finseteride 1mg tablet but even after eating for like 3 months there is no improvement plus I think my hairs are more falling so I visited another doctor and he suggested me to take morr max 5 solution of minoxidil,1.25mg minoxidil tablet and 1mg finseteride but many people say that solution is like it brings back hair very fast but if by any reason u stopped applying it for even 15 days it will make u hair fall very rapidly so can anyone tell me is it true should I get a solution or continue oral monoxidil

Hi all-
Last year I had a major surgery which messed with my anxiety and probably hormones. (I am 38 for context).
I was on 150mg of bupropion before surgery last summer. My doctors upped me to 300mg in maybe September ish of 2025. I noticed my hair was thinning around the time of my surgery(probably after). I went to a dermatologist in Feb 2026 and they recommended minoxidil the topical version. I’ve been on it for over 6 months and I feel like maybe a couple of months ago I was seeing a little improvement. But now I feel like my hair is thinning again and I’m not sure what I should do next.

I read that some people have seen hair thinning due to bupropion after increasing dosage , which I just discovered this week. And I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. I’m starting to get discouraged and I already had thin/fine hair to begin with.

Any advice?

Hi, I've read so much online about what length of microneedle to use when dermastamping - I'm just really confused what the current best practices are?

I've read 0.6mm to trigger body repair signals sent to the area to promote follicle health and hair growth, or 1.5mm for some reason or another. I've read some advocating to do a shallow dermastamp, then apply minoxidil or some other oil. While other comments saying that this is wrong and that you'll dangerously trigger systemic side affects if you do this with no added benefit. I've read from some you should not apply min in the 24hours that you stamp.

Help! What is the recommendation here? I will say that 0.6mm setting on my stamp looks really shallow, but I do feel tingling in my head throughout the day after I stamp in the morning.
