Minoxidil reduces collagen synthesis and causes bloated face with haggard skin

[vinn98]

Imagine trying to save a few hair follicles at the cost of your face looking like an alcoholic. Also it doesn't just happen where you apply it, because it absorbs into the bloodstream. You could apply it to your legs and still get the face effect. I've tried it before for beard growth and the same thing happened to my face.

Lysyl Hydroxylase Inhibition by Minoxidil Blocks Collagen Deposition​

Lysyl Hydroxylase Inhibition by Minoxidil Blocks Collagen Deposition and Prevents Pulmonary Fibrosis via TGF-β1/Smad3 Signaling Pathway

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a deadly disease characterized by excessive collagen in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the lungs. Collagen is the primary protein component of the ECM. However, the exact mechanisms underlying the formation and ...

I may be blind, but I can't see any collagen loss. If anything, I think your skin looks better in the afters. Maybe a little bloat, but I think it is negligible tbh.

I'm actually surprised many people here don't know the side effect of minoxidil on the face like it's the first time they're hearing it, it's common knowledge on other forums. I got a tattoo while using minoxidil and it never healed properly. I've had multiple tattoos before that and they all healed fine, except the one I got while using minoxidil.

 

[vinn98]

Yes it goes systemic. Doesn't matter if you apply it to your foot.

 

[J o r o]

Does oral also cause it?

Theoretically even more. I seem that a Tiny TINY drop is the ideal dose. Literally less than a Drop. And yh this only works if ur not norwood 420

 

[gribsufer1]

prolactim inhibitor and general cheat code drug basically saves ur life i need it so bad

 

[gribsufer1]

not the mechanism of action, iodine srimulates hair growth around scars

Did it give heart palpitations

drinking topical minoxidil does but oral minox does not

lisuride mogs for everything inhibiting prolactin is just one thing it does

What is MSM? and I thought biotin was only helpful if you have a shit diet and are deficient

Damn I just bought some topical minox after I decided not to use fin I don’t trust doctors at all and wasn’t about to castrate myself with fin

 

[Lawton88]

Is that loss of collagen or just his skin being whiter.

 

[grimy]

Wym it made your hairline perfect? Did you recover norwood or just made your hair better quality? My clinic that prescribed me dut can get me an oral min prescription, but I'm nervous about heart complications.

There is a study (too lazy to link) showing that minoxidil increased elastin. I don't think minoxidil affects collagen much, if at all.

it lowered my hairline and i was already nw0

 

[vinn98]

Here's another example showing minoxidil effect on the face. It makes your face bloated and your skin just looks more haggard in a subtle way, it makes you look older.

 

[MulattoTrenMaxxer]

it lowered my hairline and i was already nw0

I got my pre teen hairline back but now I have a bunch of really high up termina cheeks hairs jfl gonna get my whole beard lasered

 

[vinn98]

Look at his collagen on left vs right

 

[vinn98]

It's almost like nature wants to fuk men over. The only substance known to regrow hair on a man's head also has the cost of fukkin over his face

im aware of the side effects, its one of the reasons why i dont take it

but i still see no difference on OPs collagen

Collagen inhibition on the scalp and where hair grows is good, it means less fibrosis and scarring which is what leads to permanent hairloss.

Don’t let it drip down your face at all and moisturize your forehead after using it.
And use foam instead of liquid solution, it evaporates a lot quicker.

Also don’t use too much, you don’t want this shit going systemic.

 

[Splinter901]

2 late for me the hair on my crown is dependent on minoxidil

1 ml once a day?

 

[Deleted member 20631]

I don’t know exact amount, just don’t apply it twice a day like those tressless retards.

I use foam, rub very little in my eyebrows and then along my hairline and temples once a day.

And moisturizing after using it is important, I recommend foam over solution because there’s a much lower chance of it dripping down your face or going to areas you don’t want it to and because it dries your skin a lot less.

I started seeing visible results a week in but I’m a hyper-responder to min given that I got heart attack symptoms after applying too much of the solution a few years ago.
I genuinely thought I was going to die JFL
