Senior Member Calgacus Posted October 13, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 13, 2013 Should minoxidil solution be rubbed into the scalp (with fingertips) or should it just be left so that it is absorbed naturally into the scalp? I've been getting mixed instructions on the correct way to apply it. How do you apply it? Which method works for you? I'd just like to make sure I am getting the most out of my usage. Thanks.

Senior Member Tom R. Posted October 18, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 18, 2013 I massage it with my fingers. This way works. If you're using the liquid, how do you get away with just the recommended 1ml? I'm a diffuse thinner throughout the top but still have a decent amount of hair. I find it impossible to use just 1ml to get coverage over the entire area. BTW-I just started using 5% minoxidil with Azelaic acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BrianR Posted October 18, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 18, 2013 I just bought a Microneedle Roller with 192 Medical Stainless Steal Needles;;;I HEARD it works to help absortion (Ill be glad to listen to any help on when and how often to use it or even pros and cons) I also just started using DSLab Revia shampoo (Again, Ill be glad to listen to any help on when and how often to use it or even pros and cons) Oya I use Rogain foam (double the amount in the directions) after I take a shower in the morning.. I use liquid Rogain (more then in the directions) before bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily my hair loss is fairly minimal, and only in the crown, so the 1 ml application is plenty, but the bigger the area, the more liquid required I would assume.

Needles in scalp = potential hurting of hair grafts = sounds dubious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prototype Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I use the foam but i like the idea of rolling-on the solution. This would be a confortable and fast way of applying the solution. Especially in the area of the temples an the receeding hairline, where the solution tends to run down by using the pipette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Calgacus Posted November 10, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 10, 2013 I also just started using DSLab Revia shampoo (Again, Ill be glad to listen to any help on when and how often to use it or even pros and cons) Biggest regret for me was adding revita to my regimen. I ended up worse than when I started with that. Crap product. Take my advice: bin it. Immediately. Regimen: Finasteride (1.25mg): Daily. Minoxidil (5%): Twice Daily.
