minoxidil 3% versus 5%

grv · Oct 7, 2013

How different are the results if one starts using 3% as opposed to 5% minoxidil.

It's been a fortnight that I have started using 3% solution as 5% was not available. Should I switch over to 5% not that it is available ?

So far I have not seen any results.

Switch to 5%, that's a bit more effective. minoxidil will take at least 3 months before you will see any result! Growing hair takes (a lot) of time!

I started minoxidil 5 months ago and most of my hair loss stopped

Thanks for the reply.. Actually I was reluctant to try minoxidil but saw one guy posting great results within one month of use. His frontal region filled up almost completely.. that gave me hope and I started on it.

Mine version has .1 % Fiin as well.. not sure if it will make things better any faster

Oh that's strange because normally finasteride is taken oral (a pill) and min is applied to the skin..
