Might the application of "Minoxidil" on one's face be a good method to grow a decently full beard?

I'm a 17-year-old boy who is sick of having a girly-looking face. By the way, "Menoxidil" is found on Rogaine products and is believed to boost the growth of facial hair. Please let me know anything concerning this worry of mine. Advice/response on your part will be appreciated.

Answer 1:

Some guys have had success with it, but usually at 17 it is not a smart thing to do, since the normal maturing process is going on right now.

Talk to the dudes on the beardboard.

Answer 2:

Easy answer--No way. Minoxidil stimulates hair follicles to grow better, and if your face has areas without hair follicles, you can soak your face in the chemical and still get no results. Don't do it.

Answer 3:

Answer 4:

As a 17-year-old, you are still growing. Your beard will come in fully with time, so just be patient.

If you don't have facial hair, what's the big problem? When you do get facial hair, you'll be spending the rest of your life shaving it off anyway. There's no need to hurry to this stage in your life. The best advice anyone can give is just let nature take its course.

Why would rogaine minoxidil make me lose hair?

I am a female over the age of 50 and I have recently started using minoxidil (Rogaine for Women) on my scalp for my thinning hair. However, over the course of the past few weeks I have noticed significantly MORE hair loss (in noticeable clumps sometimes). Does Rogaine make you lose hair before you grow new ones? Is there any reason/solution for this other than stopping using the Rogaine (which I already have)?

Answer 1:

This could be a reaction to the medication itself but I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.

Any side effects for Using minoxidil on the scalp?

I've just bought this spary that contains minoxidil (2%) called "Hair back" and I read the pamphlet, it said not to use it if I suffer from blood pressure or heart disorders. It's a spray, I believe any side effects would only be to the skin? I don't really understand it how it can affect the heart or the blood pressure, I'm not swallowing it??! Can someone explain?

Answer 1:

As a drug to combat hair loss, the most common side effect is itchy scalp

If a person uses minoxidil to stop hair loss for a length of time and then stops taking the drug, hair loss will occur again. Other side-effects include:

* acne on the area where it is being used as a topical solution
* headaches and/or lightheadedness
* very low blood pressure
* irregular or fast heart beat
* blurred vision or other vision problems
* decreased sexual desire
* partial, or complete, impotence
* numbness or tingling in the hands, feet or face
* rapid weight gain
* chest pain
Large amounts of minoxidil can cause hypotension
