Question 1

does taking collagen enhance the effectiveness of minoxidil in changing the vellus hair to terminal hair. my second question is whats the benefit of taking collagen with vitamin c. i saw that online?

Accepted Answer

: Not convinced that collagen does much of anything for hair restoration, and find vitamin C to be disappointing also.  Cannot see any harm in either, but don't get your hopes up.  If you can find "hair" expert, get a consult.

Question 2

should i keep using minoxidil forever?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you want to keep your hair (assuming that it does the work) , you will need to use it continuously until something better comes along.

Question 3

rogaine/minoxidil, how convenient is it actually?

Accepted Answer

Can Be Weak &amp; Gr: Using OTC (over-the-counter) rogaine (minoxidil) can be effective, but many patients find it to be too weak, too messy and irritating to the scalp. For those patients, we often prescribe Compounded Minoxidil Formula 82M. It reduces the side effects of the off-the-shelf product (rogaine (minoxidil)) and therefore offers better ease of use and results. HairCheck hair bundle trichometry measurements prove the effectiveness!

Question 4

is minoxidil 30% cream is safe?

Accepted Answer

Use with caution: Minoxidil is a potent blood pressure medication. In general, it is not readily absorbed from intact skin. However, it may be absorbed by compromised, irritated, or inflamed skin. Typically  2-5% is used;  30%  may cause scalp  itching or irritation or dandruff. Other medical side effects include a racing or irregular heartbeat, chest pain, dizziness and even fainting.

Seldom any: Local irritation is very uncommon.

Question 6

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Possibly: If you are referring to topical Minoxidil or Rogaine (minoxidil) for women , it can be used safely for long term. This medicine unless you are allergic is well tolerated as local itching, irritation can happen to some people.  Because it is over the counter these medicines tend to be safer than prescription medicines. Good luck and see your doctor for more concerns.

Question 9
