Minoxidil for beard and mustache

Send

If you do not exceed the doses indicated in the instructions, there will not be any serious side effects, however, some, I emphasize, only some may blush the face and burn the skin a little while starting the course of minoxidil, and you may experience rapid heart rate which disappears in a couple of weeks. Much more frequent pobochka that occurs in many, and the manufacturer does not write about it - this is peeling of the skin at the places of application, usually this issue is resolved with moisturizers, and washing the face with soap before applying minoxidil, usually peeling occurs because the preparation contains alcohol which dries the skin, plus some minoxidil may not be absorbed and remain on the skin.

I am not 18, but I want a beard, can I use minox?

The presence of a beard under the age of 18 is very rare, I want to mention precisely the beard, and not a handful of hair on the chin, so it’s too early to worry. However, in the 21st century, few people pay attention to this, arguing that they have seen on the Internet a lot of guys under 18 with a steep beard. Well, to buy the drug is not a problem, it is not hormonal, and it does not have any serious side effects, so even a child can buy it. However, you will use it at that age at your own peril and risk, and yet I would not recommend it because no one knows how your body will react to it.

How often to apply?

Usually this is written in the instructions, but I repeat, they use minoxidil 2 times a day, but not more often than 4 hours after the first application. Apply the drug often is not worth it because the body can not absorb more of the drug, but the side effects will quickly appear.

What are the manufacturers of minoxidil?

Alerana is the most affordable Minoxidil in Russia, the most popular and easy to order are foam and spray Regaine (Rogaine), and Minoxidil Kirkland (Kirkland Minoxidil).

Of all the drugs, only foam stands alone, it dries faster, but its effectiveness is questionable, plus a not very convenient dosage, I would advise you to choose a spray. The rest of the drugs differ only in price and composition, so there are no obvious leaders.

Is it possible to take a break?

Breaks can be done, but preferably not more than 2 weeks, and not permanently. For example, you used minoxidil for 3 months and leave for 2 weeks on vacation, and on vacation you don’t want to use minoxidil, then you can take such a break. And if you plan on smearing 2 weeks, then not smearing another 2 and so permanently, then there is a high probability that the results will either be bad or not at all. Ie take breaks only for really serious reasons.

How much minoxidil to apply?

Using a graduated pipette, apply 1 mg of solution for each cheek. If you grow a long stubble, you will need more preparation, as it will linger on the hairs. If applied to the neck, then you will need 1.5 - 2 mg. The pipette comes free with minoxidil packaging when you purchase 6 bottles (half year course).

What form to apply (foam, spray, liquid)?

Minoxidil exists in the form of:

Solutionthat is applied with a pipette,
foam, which dries quickly, but is less effective, because less active substance gets,
spray, as one of the most convenient forms of application along with the solution. Allows you to quickly and evenly apply and distribute the drug on the skin surface.

What side effects may occur?

Depending on the dosage, frequency of application, concentration of minoxidil and individual susceptibility, the following side effects are possible:

Face swelling - The first sign that you have overdone with the dosage. Very often observed when amplified by a dermaroller or when using a concentration of 10–15%
itching, burning and scabies - irritation appears in the places of application, which can eventually disappear after adaptation,
dry skin and peeling - the appearance of white flakes, similar to dandruff,
cardiopalmus - from time to time may occur
hypotension - decrease in pressure, deterioration in health,
arrhythmia - uneven heart function,
hair growth in unwanted places - in rare cases, under the eyes, the growth of the eyebrows into one (mono-brow), thick hair in the nose. Growth is often observed in the arms, chest, back,
skin blemishes - similar to birthmarks. A very rare occurrence, but at least once such an effect was noted.

After a month, the side effects may disappear, the body adapts to new conditions and irritants. But in the case of the cardiovascular system, you should be extremely attentive and courteous. When pressure subsides, arrhythmias and heart palpitations, if they stay for several weeks, it is better to cancel the drug and consult a doctor.

The beard does not thicken, how to enhance the effect of minoxidil?

If after a year of use you get poor results, then it makes sense to try:

Increase concentration Minoxidil to 15%. Such options are sold in online stores and allow you to thicken your beard even more or help where 5% is not enough,
use dermaroller with long needles 0.5-1.0 mm. In such a case, once every three or four days before applying, use a dermaroller on the problem areas to improve the permeability of the preparation. Some experts in quotes recommend needle length 2.5 mm and 3 mm, but even 0.5 mm is very unpleasant and painful to use. Immerse it in alcohol solution for disinfection before and after using the dermaroller.

What kind of drug?

Minoxidil was originally used in medicine as a vasodilator to help people with high blood pressure lower it.

But during the application, a curious side effect was noted: with local application, the drug caused accelerated hair growth, making them more rigid and thick.

Thus, it has found its application in medical cosmetology.

Minoxidil is available in three different forms.:

Lotion is recommended for growing beards. It is more convenient to apply and does not have a pronounced unpleasant odor.

Spray - in second place in popularity, it is convenient to apply on smooth skin, where it is planned to grow stubble.

Ointment loses in all respects - it has an unpleasant smell, it absorbs for a long time, and leaves behind a sticky film.

Indications for use

Apply for the growth of the beard Minoxidil is, if:

the beard grows unevenly, there are bald spots, areas of bare skin,
hair grows slowly and badly
need to increase the density of hairs,
it is necessary to increase the stiffness of the bristles.

The drug is usually used in medicine to combat baldness, men themselves used to grow beards, and he showed himself well in this area.

The main active ingredient of the drug is minoxidil. Depending on the form of release of funds, it consists of the following additives:

in the spray - medical alcohol,
in lotion - D-panthenol, alcohol, glycerin.

Alcohol helps the active substance to penetrate the cell membrane, getting into the blood, but can cause an allergic reaction or severe irritation of the skin, due to its aggressive effects.

D-panetnol - a substance used in medicine for the treatment of wounds and burns, perfectly accelerates the regeneration, softens the skin and nourishes it. It has a caring property.

Beard efficiency

Minoxidil is good at combating alopecia, providing a stimulating effect on the hair follicles, and activating the growth of new hairs.

Due to the increased blood flow to the hair follicles, the hair grows faster, becomes more dense and hard.

The drug allows you to strengthen and make fluffy hair tougher and thicker, remove areas of bare skin on the face.

The essence of the action of Minoxidil is very simple - it is an irritant remedy.

Regular use of Minoxidil allows you to quickly grow a beard due to the constant stimulation of hair growth. But here lies a side effect from the use of the drug.

Minoxidil must be used for a long time. With the abolition of the drug, the hair after a while reduces the growth rate, then begins to fall out and everything returns to normal.

Contraindications

As with any drug, Minoxidil has contraindications:

the drug can not be used for people with low blood pressure
in case of allergy to its constituent components, the use is prohibited,
dry skin, a tendency to flaking and dermatitis, can also be a contraindication to use,
with a lack of testosterone and other hormonal disorders, due to which hair grows poorly, the drug is not effective,
Minoxidil should not be used by persons under 18 years of age.

The most problematic component in the composition of the spray is alcohol, which has a very aggressive effect on the skin of the face. It can cause severe irritation, swelling of soft tissues and severe redness of the skin.

If for some reason you cannot use Minoxidil, try other medicinal and cosmetic products: Generolon, Shevelux, Alerana, Professional Hair System.

What is minoxidil: cost (price) at the pharmacy

Minoxidil or Minox (trade name) - a means for external use, used to stimulate the growth of hair on the beard. After applying the lotion, the vessels expand and the blood microcirculation in the skin increases. As a result, the hair follicles receive adequate nutrition and hair growth accelerates.

In addition to accelerating the growth of existing bristles, there is an active effect on the fluff hairs. As a result, they thicken, pigment and turn into stiff bristles. This makes the tool ideal and with too rare bristles.

However, genetic predisposition greatly influences how minoxidil acts on a beard. For some users, the results are visible in a month, for others - only after 3-4 months.

How to use it for beard growth: instructions for use

The drug is designed for long-term use. The time of development of the downy hairs in the bristles is different for each user and depends on the hormonal balance and congenital predisposition. As a result, the use of funds for all users is different.

In order for the beard to be different before and after application, that is, the result is preserved even after its use has been completed, it is necessary to apply Minoxidil sufficiently so that the condition of the bristles becomes natural for the hair. For this drug is used for more than a year or several years. Only such long-term use gives a stable result. Terms of use of funds are as follows:

Apply twice a day
Dose per use - 1 ml (7 taps on the spray bottle),
The break between drawing about 8 hours,
The drug is absorbed by the hour.

Choose a time of application so that the lotion does not wash on clothes or a pillowcase, does not wash off during a shower, etc. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as edema is possible as a side effect.

Release in the form of lotion and spray: Minoxidil Kirkland, Aleran

Available in the form of a spray, ointment and lotion. Spray - comfortable look. It is absorbed slowly. For complete absorption it takes 1 - 2 hours. Moreover, the longer the bristles, the more time is needed. After 2 hours it is necessary to wash, as a sticky layer forms on the face, which is important to wash off.

Ointment - uncomfortable appearance. Absorbs even longer than spray. Apply evenly with no bristles. After soaking, the face is constricted, a sticky layer appears.

The best solution is minoxidil - lotion. It smells good, absorbs quickly (about half an hour). After its absorption, there is no film, the face is not sticky and not strained. But the spray is considered safe, because the user does not contact the tool directly with the hands.

Does hair loss help? What is the effect of growth?

Reviews of the drug very much. And they are almost always positive. The result is not achieved mainly by those men who hoped to quickly get a good result, and who did not have the patience for long-term use. Either those. Who violated the rules of application. In other cases, the drug gives almost 100% guarantee of success.

Duration of use

It takes about 16 months for the hair to become terminal, that is, hard and healthy. But it is likely that after the cessation of use, the beard will gradually return to its original state. That is, when the regrown hairs fall out naturally, the same fluff will grow in their place, which was before the application of the spray or lotion.

Most users use minoxidil for beard growth for many years. The drug is not expensive by itself, besides the duration of use increases costs. Therefore, after the main course, the tool can be applied less frequently in other (possibly cheaper) forms of release.

Choose a beard grower

It is sold without a prescription, and therefore does not require consultation with a doctor to start using. You can independently calculate the duration of the main course and the frequency and duration of the subsequent, according to the instructions for the preparation.

The composition and the form of the Minoxidil beard

Ethanol, glycerin, demineralized water and propylene glycol are used as auxiliary components. The liquid has no color, but with a high concentration of elements, a yellowish tint is acceptable. Aqueous-alcoholic solution has a characteristic alcohol odor.

What forms is available?

In the market it can be found in three types of concentration:

lotion 2%

ointment,
spray.

The composition of the different forms of the drug, the principle of action and method of application do not differ. Lotions and solutions are always accompanied by detailed instructions describing the product and recommendations for its use.

Many manufacturers are engaged in the manufacture of Minoxidil, so the packaging, design of tubes and bottles may differ.

For men, 2% solution is not suitable (the concentration of substances in this preparation is too low). To accelerate the process of beard growth at a noticeable rate can only 5% or 15% options.

A separate type of the drug is the ointment of the same name, but in terms of its effectiveness, it is inferior to lotions and solutions.

The effectiveness of this drug

Advantages and disadvantages of the procedure

The components that make up Minoxidil are absorbed into the skin and blood in a short period of time. This factor is due to the effectiveness of the drug.

What is Minoxidil?

It was initially used to improve blood circulation and treat vascular diseases. At the places of application of the drug, an increased growth of hairs with increased density was observed.

Thanks to this discovery, Minoxidil began to be used to stimulate the growth of hair on the head. This product also allows you to quickly grow a beard.

After using Minoxidil, hairs begin to grow even in places where there were previously bald spots, due to which many men could not achieve the desired effect.

Application Methods

In order not to harm the body by the inept use of Minoxidil, you should first learn how to use it properly.

How to use each of the dosage forms of the drug:

Spray applied to pre-cleansed, dry skin twice a day. Flush the tool is not required. For one application, only 3-4 sprays on the beard are required.

Shampoo should be used once a day. Apply the product on the skin of the cheeks and bristles, washed thoroughly, and then rinsed with clean water.
To improve the thickness, it is recommended to apply a 5% solution of Minoxidil, although you can find more or less concentrated preparations on the market.

Reviews of men on the use of Minokidil

After use, men respond in most cases positively.

Previously, the density of hair on the beard left much to be desired, the hair grew in scraps. But I so wanted to grow it that I decided to experiment with the tool. After three weeks of regular use of the product, I noticed that the beard became thicker, and the bare spots were covered with a barely noticeable down. After another two or three weeks, my chin and cheeks were covered with a uniform and thick layer of bristles. At the same time, I had no side effects.

I was always jealous of friends who wore stylish beards, because the amount of stubble on my face did not allow me to give it the desired shape. Minoxidil began to apply two months ago, and now I have a growing beard, which I am very pleased with. The first time after applying the lotion, the skin became irritated and slightly reddened. But after two weeks, the redness and discomfort passed.

In custody

According to doctors and users, using Minoxidil doesn’t take care of a beard without special difficulties and takes a minimum of time.

Despite such an excellent result from Minoxidil - you should use it with caution and carefully study the instructions, paying attention to contraindications and the presence of side effects.

If you do not grow a thick beard, hair on your cheeks is missing, hair is thin and sparse,
- There is a tool that is valid for 2 weeks! This is a unique product consisting entirely of natural ingredients. The result is a thick and beautiful beard!

Drug description

The tool for the growth of beard Minoxidil (in Latin Minoxidil) was originally used to treat various pathologies of blood vessels to improve blood circulation. With alopecia, it works very simply: Penetrating into the skin, preparations based on Minoxidil expand small vessels and capillaries and thereby stimulate the flow of blood to the cells - including the hair follicles. You will not have new follicles - just those hairs that previously were in the gun stage will start to actively develop. And those that have already grown to a terminal degree will now grow even more intensively.

It is important to understand: Minoxidil for men helps only activate the growth of existing hairs. Also, the drug can stop the hairfall in combination with other methods of treating baldness. But if the hair bulbs are destroyed, then Minoxidil does not help, as well as any other drug. In this case, you need to either do mesotherapy, or get used to live without a manly beard, but with a sexy bald head, which is also very cool.

Minoxidil for beard growth can be used for baldness, as a means of strengthening hair. They love to buy Minoxidil for eyebrows and eyelashes for girls to make them thicker and clearer. In pharmacies, the drug is offered in the form of a solution, spray, foam, or tablets.

How to use

Before you use Minoxidil, you should always consult a doctor and conduct an individual sensitivity test, especially if you are going to use tablets.

The method of administration of Minoxidil will depend on the form of the preparation containing this active substance.

Minoxidil solution or spray. Twice a day, 1 ml applied to clean and dry skin. The gap between application of at least 4 hours, preferably 7-8. One of the famous brands - “For yu” (“For you”).
Shampoo with Minoxidil. use in the usual way, but not more than once a day.
Minoxidil Foam. It is also applied twice a day to clean and dry skin, left to dry completely, and not washed off.

Note: How quickly Minoxidil will work in a solution or other form is directly related to genetics. Each person has his own peculiarities, because some already in the first week have a significant increase in facial hair. And others have to use Minodixil Kirkland for 6-8 months and more to notice its effect (by the way, KIRKLAND is considered the most effective).

Where to buy and whether it is possible to replace something

The quickest and easiest way to order is Minoxidil Kirkland or Minoxidil Aleran in the online store, on the website of the official distributors of the drug (it is available without a doctor's prescription). You can also read reviews, see photos of more experienced users before and after using Minoxidil preparations. Here you can see the original instructions for using Minoxidil and learn how to distinguish a fake.

Important! Do not order the drug on foreign sites, because Customs may have problems due to certification (I got caught like that once). Here on the blog a person writes about his experience and gives a link to the store where he made the purchase.

Minoxidil Kirkland can be easily bought at the pharmacy. But the price of a baldness medicine will be somewhat higher - all pharmacists have a rollback on Minoxidil, which is quite natural these days. In addition, there is a higher risk to buy a fake.

Like any drug, Minoxidil for men also has its counterparts, both cheaper and more expensive. Aminexyl and minoxidil are often compared, for example. Amineksil has a similar chemical composition, but does not act so quickly and efficiently. If you are afraid that you may experience an allergic reaction, you should start with Aminexil. Remember that Amineskil and Minoxidil can not be combined - it will lead to an overdose of the active ingredient and side effects.

Stemoxidin and minoxidil are practically different in their chemical structure. The mechanism of action is also completely the same. But the first will cost much more.

If we talk about such a drug as Generalon, then this is just another pharmacy name of the same Minoxidil - the difference is again in cost.

Minoxidil compatibility and undo effect

Whether withdrawal syndrome occurs is a very frequently asked question on the forums. No, preparations with Minoxidil for baldness and for hair growth are not addictive, so the effect of cancellation does not occur. The result achieved will be maintained for some time. But it is not eternal, and if you want to grow an impressive haircut for a long time, you should definitely get tested and find out what the true reason for hair loss or slow growth in your case.

This is a hormone or the usual remedy for baldness - not less frequent question. Minodixil Kirkland has no hormones. Therefore, in principle, it can be used even by teenagers. But it is better to weigh the pros and cons again - is it not better to wait a couple of years until the beard grows naturally?

Watch the video on the use of Minoxidil, find out the details that are not described in the text:

Nicotinic acid and Minoxidil, what's the difference - some users are interested. Nicotinic acid and Minox do not differ in their action, the mechanism is the same as the methods of application, and the side effects. Therefore, to the question “nicotinic acid and Minoxidil, what is the difference,” the answer is one - in nothing, only in cost.

Minoxidil and Finasteride - are they compatible? Yes, compatible. But if the first drug affects the blood vessels and does not affect the hormones, then the last one - on the contrary. Finasteride was originally developed to treat prostate adenoma. It inhibits certain enzymes that affect the synthesis of progesterone - the male hormone responsible for the growth of the beard as well. That is, when synchronizing reception with Finasteride, the maximum effect will be achieved, since two reasons for insufficient hair growth are eliminated at once: But they do this only after consulting a doctor.

A review of the best products with Minoxidil will help not to make a mistake and choose the best Minoxidil solution, which will help solve problems with hair loss, early baldness and insufficiently intensive beard growth. But get ready for the fact that the full course will take at least 10-12 months. Although the first changes you will notice, of course, much earlier. Good luck!

Choose a suitable drug

Minoxidil is available under various brands. Rogaine is best known - it appeared earlier than others, as well as Minoxidil Kirkland - it is more accessible and, according to reviews, is no worse than more expensive drugs.

Minoxidil is made in the form of lotion, spray, foam. For the growth of facial hair is most often proposed to apply lotion. It is more convenient to apply when compared with spray. Foam for the growth of facial hair is not used.

What is the concentration of minoxidil for beard growth?

5% is the gold standard. This concentration will suit everyone to give a noticeable result, while not showing any side effects.
10% or 15%. Such solutions may be needed if using the 5% drugs failed to achieve the desired result, or it is necessary to grow a beard faster. But it is not recommended to start with them, at the very beginning they can handle 5%.

How to apply minoxidil on a beard
