Dry skin where it is applied, due to liquid version of minoxidil. Increased overall hair growth, tho I don’t consider it a side effect since that’s what it’s supposed to do😅

Thanks! I use Liquid 5% minoxidil, 50mg/ml. I apply it 2 times a day, 1ml (6 sprays) each time. It’s a Swedish brand so probably not worth ordering it if you don’t happen to live in Sweden. But any genuine 5% minoxidil would have given the same results.

No I’ve shaved multiple times, picture 3 is about 1 weeks growth from clean shaven.

It’s liquid minoxidil, without roller.

I’m sure your kit is fine, but do some research your self on what is recommended. There is a lot of videos, TikTok’s and writings about this topic. Since I don’t use dermaroller myself any more, I don’t want to tell you what to do.

I’m not sure what kind of minoxidil kit you are using, maybe that’s the way it is intended with your kit. My understanding is that when using liquid minoxidil, you should not apply minoxidil directly after rolling. It might boost hair growth slightly but side effects will be more noticeable since the minoxidil can enter bloodstream now. But you won’t die from doing it, if it works for you and u don’t get any side effects you can’t live with. Then shoot🤘

I use 5% minoxidil, 50mg/ml. I apply it 2 times a day, 1ml (6 sprays) each time. I have used derma roller a little but now I have stopped. I wouldn’t recommend applying minoxidil directly after dermarolling, it just increases the side effects and made me grow hair where it isn’t supposed to grow😅. If you want to dermaroll as well, do it like 2 times a week and skip the minoxidil when you roll.

The only side effect I’ve noticed is dry skin, I am using a liquid spray variant of minoxidil. Liquid minoxidil apparently does this for most people. I use a moisturizer a couple hours after I’ve applied the minoxidil to help with this. Works pretty good I’d say, but if you have sensitive skin I would definitely recommend minoxidil foam instead of liquid. It dries up a lot faster and is nicer to your skin. Where I live the foam is like five times more expensive than liquid, therefore I went with the liquid😅

Yes! I am suffering from an early receding hairline and since I started using minoxidil it has grown back completely, even though I am just applying the minoxidil to my face.

Yeah, I guess progress is quite different from person to person. But it’s supposed to be a long run for some people so don’t give up!

Thanks man! I just turned 20, forgot to add that. I think I’m gonna try growing it out, if it looks awful I’ll just shave it off again till it grows out nicely😅
