surely like a year(did a whole foam bottle, and like 50% of oil one), its topical and i thought that doesnt bloat but holy shit, funnily enough i wouldnt believe if you if i didnt have a period where i stopped minox for like 2 weeks and i remember being debloated at that time.

Yeah exactly.

I though it was weird as fuck at a lower bodyweight and fat I was not as facially lean as I used to looking at old pics when I was less lean and eating like shit. Like I lost bone or some shit which isn’t possible. Just minox is fucking perma bloat and I had to get so much leaner than I should have had to.

Not for me probs person/dose specific. Also I would get bloated easier when bf a bit higher (not fat but not ripped). Now im lean high carbs, sodium, min and nothing but heavy alcohol use bloats me.

just limit your amount. My thing was I would binge drink talking 20 vodka shots and that will bloat you 2 days or so.

You would be surprised. I actually doubt you’re not bloated from it tbh. Many (including me and OP) didn’t notice it until stopping usage for some weeks and observed a change.

maybe your good idk considering body weight. i mean OP only used topical and bloated. I was the same chiselled face and jaw and ogee curve (girls have said they spoke about my cheekbones when they were doing their makeup jfl) but stopping minox took it to a whole new level

My skin also looked older on minox. Maybe it reduced my collagen while on it, i’m not sure. I feel like i look less old and better skin quality than i used to. My skin routine hasn’t changed (which was water in the shower and nothing else)

i also was fairly chiseled but not as much as i should be at this bf (i have great jaw visibility but my cheeks werent optimal) but this debloat is crazy (still not many days passed only maybe a week or like 5-6 days), i read some reddit posts and quite a lot of people suffer from bloating as well (topical and oral)

That's because minoxidil causes vasodilation, genius. It literally increases blood flow to wherever you apply it. The temporary 'aging' effect you're seeing is just fluid retention and potential dehydration of the skin layer. Your collagen production isn't being magically being fucking zapped away by some hair growth formula.

People always want to blame the drug instead of their half-assed application routine. Did you even read the clinical literature before putting that shit on your face?

well he said he isnt sure but that doesnt change the fact it made skin worse looking and caused bloating
 
STFU i took oral

That changes everything and nothing at the same time. Oral minoxidil is a systemic vasodilator that was originally developed for hypertension, not some topical beard growth hack. Of course it affected your skin differently.

Systemic vasodilation can absolutely impact collagen production pathways through altered blood pressure dynamics and fluid distribution. Your body was likely prioritizing other metabolic functions while adjusting to a powerful cardiovascular medication.

You're taking a prescription heart medication off-label for cosmetic purposes without apparently understanding the pharmacokinetics, and then you're surprised when there are systemic effects???? Did you even get regular bloodwork done? Monitor your blood pressure? Track your sodium retention?

when did i say i was surprised? I know 100% it’s systematic.
Nor do i care anymore since everything is back to normal, no more fucked collagen no more bloat. I don’t intend of using again fuck that.

topical still gets into your system (i also put it before i sleep so probably rubs on my face from my pillow), i did not notice any collagen difference tho

it is possible that i can lose all my progress but it is not 100% that i will lose all of the brow hairs i got, for some its permanent, tho i dont care that much my brows arent insanely bad without minox if i dye them , and i already ordered mascara to make them denser in case i lose some density from dropping minox, edit: i would be very sad if i had to drop it if i used it for my hairline but its only brows so its not insanely sad

What dose did u get to get brow hair gains? My brows are already very thick and long to begin with and feel the gains to do are limited 4 months in. Dont want much gain but the tail end of the brows where they arent as filled in as the middle would be nice to see fill in.

i did 5% topical minox 2 times a day for like a year(maybe more i didnt really track since it doesnt matter to me), got solid progress but dyeing them made the real difference

Honestly what do you guys even mean by fkd collagen> theoretically shouldnt signs of fkd collagen actually be visible when the skin sags with age. I feel like allot of people saying they have fkd collagen just have water retention

u can just dye the ends i think, i am white with brownish/dirty blonde hair and i need to really be careful when dyeing since it can look too uncanny if too dark/visible

ah too much effort man not worth it for a small looksmax when I got great brows alrdy (they are long and its only the rail tail end thts slightly thinner) im 29 spending allot on looksmax stack alrdy. Gonna have to be spending money to get my hair dyed in a salon in 6 years when I get greying on the hair on my head aswell.
