I don't want to risk losing the fat that hides my UEE (forgot how it's called) because of Minoxidil
 
Will peppermint work aswell ? Can I do both (not at the same time)?
 
It could but it doesn’t always.

minoxidil doesn't do that but it isn't very effective for eyebrow growth anyway

How so? To my knowledge, it works just as well for eyebrows as it does for any kind of hair growth anywhere on the body.

peppermint oil is better than castor

Didn't do much for my eyebrows when I used it. Definitely increased body and facial hair tho

you're probably a non-responder then

You could try other natural oils like argan, olive, coconut, almond, jojoba, etc

Minoxidil foam 5% worked for me and it didn’t have that side effect. Twice a day.
You could also consider microblading , depending on what your starting situation looks like and what you want to achieve. It looks very natural on some guys.

imo it will help but not anything drastic if you want to maximize eyebrow growth take castor oil orally, Minox eyebrows, tret on eyebrows + micro needling 1.5mm a week since its only on your brows so you dont need alot of coverage i don't think you'll get many sides

People say Bimaprost melts eye fat. I've never heard it for minoxidil.

I just hear about dark eye circles on minoxidil.

Maybe you simply lack hair follicles in you brow area. A more farfetched idea would be that it is possible to be a responder in certain and non-responding in others. Did you use topical or oral min btw?
 
could try oral minoxidil for growth everywhere, I've been on 2.5mg + 1ml topical (5%) daily for 2 weeks no side effects at all

Where did you get the impression that minox affects fat pads? From what I know, it doesn't affect them in any way what so ever. You could try using minoxidil and/or castor oil. Oral will be the most potent for both substances. You could try using peppermint oil in conjunction as well, but it may be overkill.
 
works for my eyebrows and many others had results
did you maintain the gains after stoping or are you still using some to maintain the eyebrows hair thanks?

no I only started 2 months ago. I think you have to use it for like a year to keep gains

You only need to use it once daily

I use it on my scalp and haven't gotten sides

you only use a small amount on your brows it's not enough to get sides

I keep doing it, I’m at my 12 months doing it. I’ll keep doing for long cause it takes literally 10 seconds to apply and the Regaine cost is quite low over time: I bought 3x Regaine foam dispenser 1 year ago at 60 euros and I just recently started the 3rd one(like 1month ago, so let’s say 1 dispenser lasts 5 month). Now they got a bit more expensive for some reasons, like around 80 euros for 3 last time I checked, 1 month ago or so.

The more you keep going, the more eyebrows hair become terminal. The theory is that they will last after a slow taper suspension of the minoxidil foams , same as beards created that way (check Reddit “minoxbeards” for more info about that).
