Takes longer: Generally it takes 3-4 months before you start seeing beneficial effects of Minoxidil. Be prepared to deal with side effects which are a few, to help guide therapy with adjustment of dose duration.

Normal: Very few people see much new hair with minoxidil. The benefit is usually to slow the rate of hair loss and benefits only those who use it religiously for many years. If it is important to you, see a dermatologist.
