Minoxidil
And a shitload of testosterone
Not a shitload. All hormone takers are supposed to be regularly tested to make sure they dont contain excessive hormones.
Testosterone is one hell of a drug
As a cis man with a big bushy beard, what happens if I use this?
If your body has the ability to grow more hairs, it will grow more hairs.
Is that strictly prescription?
No lol it’s over the counter and you apply it topically. The liquid is more powerful than the foam, but the foam is better for sensitive skin.
Couple of things:
It was originally a blood pressure medication with a side effect of growing hair. Don’t take it if you have blood pressure issues.
I’ve been applying it for a couple of years and I went from not being able to grow a single hair to having a pretty decent beard— still needs some improvement though, so I’m applying once per day.
Just a note to anyone considering minoxidil, it is extremely toxic to cats even in very small amounts.
Apparently you have to take Minoxidil for life? Seems like there are pros and cons
No lol where did you hear that? You take it for a couple of years then stop once the hairs have become terminal hairs
I watched a youtube short from a "doctor". That's the extent of my exposure to the subject
You have to take Minox until your vellus hairs develop into terminal hairs. That’s it. Once they’re terminal, you keep them.
