Has anyone experienced regrowth or sides? Dosage?

Looking for opinions before I hop on it. I've been on fin for more than a year now. Hair didn't thin out further, no sides, no regrowth. Pure maintenance

It's a game changer.
5,mg a day, will thicken up and make your hair darker

Used it for beard growth for a month at 2.5 mg per day. In that time made eyebrows and eyelashes longer and some new vellus hair growth on beard, but after a month I hopped off cause of the sides. First of all, I got terrible dark circles from it because of the vasodilation effect and also got about 5-7 pounds of water weight bloat. Also noticed shortness of breath during exercise.

Did you retain eyebrow and lash length?

Was the water weight bloat noticable in the face?

No you don’t retain eyebrow and lash length from what I know. I was only on it for a month anyways so it wouldn’t either way. It usually takes atleast 6 months for beard hair to turn terminal and stay permanent, but since scalp hair is different than facial hair you’re gonna have to be on it permanently otherwise you’ll start shedding again when you come off.

But as for the water weight, it wasn’t too noticeable but I think it made a slight difference.

One positive though is it made me a lot more veiny since oral minoxidil is a vasodilator

It grew my facial hair lots but I’ve always had very thick eyebrows and eyelashes.

I’ve never noticed weight bloat in the face but the dark circles are definitely worse. I had to get a second round of fat transfer to treat them.
