Minoxidil and Oxidative Stress​

While minoxidil itself does not directly break down collagen, some research suggests that its long-term use may contribute to increased oxidative stress in the skin.

Oxidative stress is a condition caused by an imbalance between the production of free radicals (unstable molecules) and the body's ability to neutralize them. This imbalance can lead to cellular damage, including the degradation of collagen and other structural proteins in the skin.

Minoxidil has been shown to potentially increase the production of free radicals, which can contribute to oxidative stress and accelerate the breakdown of collagen over time.

Inflammation and Collagen Degradation​

Another potential mechanism by which minoxidil may indirectly contribute to collagen depletion is through its potential to cause inflammation.

Some studies have suggested that minoxidil can trigger inflammatory responses in the skin, which may lead to the release of enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). These enzymes play a role in breaking down collagen and other structural proteins in the skin, contributing to the visible signs of aging.

Effects are from longterm use.Use products and have a good diet for collagenmaxxing and counter it.
Sunscreen
retinoid,retinol
Vit c from fruits
Vit A from animal products bone broth etc

TLDR:Minox decreases collagen production in LONG TERM use and to counter it just colllagenmax brah
