  • SHOULD YOU USE MINOXIDIL FOR HAIR GROWTH OR HAIR LOSS TREATMENT?
    minoxidil should you use it is dangerous, seeing an improvement of microcirculation that can have a lot of really good benefits but the benefits are usually going to be minor, and you're only going to see a stopping of the hair loss.
    And you'll see typically only this little peach fuzz that's growing in the area in which you're applying it additionally, you have to obviously continue to apply it to have long-term results otherwise, if you stop using it you will definitely go through a shed typically that shed will occur after discontinuing the use of minoxidil as early as 2 weeks.
    but definitely, after 90 days and after 90 days you will typically go back. to where you were when you started the use of minoxidil or where you would have been if you never used minoxidil, so you should use that in tandem with other items and realistically
    minoxidil, in my opinion, is not dangerous it is something that when you use it properly is going to be a huge benefit to your hair growth.

    Did I hear you right when you said Minoxidil will only cause minimal hair growth, only vellus hairs?

    • @WilliamGaunitzTrichologist
      @WilliamGaunitzTrichologist  Месяц назад

      Actually, minoxidil can stimulate more than just vellus hairs (the tiny, fine baby hairs). Initially, when people start using it, they often see vellus hairs as the first sign of growth. However, with continued use, some of these vellus hairs can thicken and turn into terminal hairs-the thicker, darker hairs you're looking for.
      It doesn’t always result in full, dense regrowth for everyone, especially if hair loss is advanced, but it can definitely help convert some of those weaker vellus hairs into stronger, visible strands over time. Just remember, it takes patience-results can take 3-6 months to really show up! 😊

    • @WilliamGaunitzTrichologist
      @WilliamGaunitzTrichologist  29 дней назад

      It's up to you! 😊 Here's a quick breakdown:
      🌿 **If you applied oils** (like rosemary, castor, or any nourishing oil), washing it out the next morning is a good idea to avoid buildup and greasiness. You’ll get the benefits of the oil soaking in overnight without leaving your hair too oily during the day.
      🧴 **If you applied a treatment** like minoxidil, there's no need to wash it out in the morning. Minoxidil is meant to stay on the scalp and do its work, so you can just leave it in and carry on with your day!
      So, if it's oil-based, you might want to wash it out, but treatments can usually stay in. 💧

      Yes, if you notice heart palpitations after using Minoxidil, you should stop using it immediately and consult with a healthcare professional. Heart palpitations can be a side effect of Minoxidil, especially if it is absorbed into the bloodstream in higher amounts. It's essential to address this issue with your doctor to determine whether Minoxidil is safe for you or if an alternative treatment should be considered.

      It turns the hair on my face darker, and a bit darker on my head as well. I don’t know why everyone is saying it turned their hair white, it turned all the hair on my beard and mustache area, as well as on my head quite a bit darker. Maybe they have some copper or other vitamin deficiency Not related to minoxidil.
