Minoxidil As A Standalone

[Rossybop]

Hi guys, does minoxidil work as a standalone treatment if you are not using anything else?

I can't use fin or dut. Right now I don't use anything.

for me personally, Rogaine/Minoxidil did nothing. I can't speak for anyone else though. 

Anecdotally and for what its worth, I've heard that Rogaine is better performing on the crown rather than the hairline (but even on the crown Rogaine did nothing for me...)

no because it doesn’t treat the cause of hair loss, unfortunately you will continue to lose even on Min

It isn't a good idea to be on minoxidil alone. However, if you get on oral minoxidil, it will definitely be better than nothing

Minoxidil provides some benefit for a lot of people, but it's usually minor if used alone. It works much better when combined with finasteride or dutasteride.
