Will this regimen work?

[Guest]

This is how I want to use ROGAINE FOAM:

Im using it all over my head:

Month 1: 3x day
Month 2: 3x day
Month 3: 3x day
Month 4: 2x day
Month 5: 2x day
Month 6: 2x day
Month 7+: 1x day

Is this too amibitious? To get quick results, then maintain?

It doesn't make any difference on how much rogaine you use per day it says that on the bottle that 1 half-cap full 2x a day is enough which is morning / evening.

I think that would be too much. You could do damage because of the alcohol content in the minoxidil.

Look at the introduction to this website and digest what it says about giving treatments time and patience.

Get on the big 3 and then add any other less proven treatments later on.

But you must be patient as for a lot of people it needs at least a year to gauge results properly.

itll work if your a minoxidil responder. if youre not...it wont. id definitely advise using something else. theres something called 'propecia' i think.

Although the instructions are half a capful per application, that is only for thinning on the crown. People like myself with frontal thinning have to use more.

Where did you get that information from?

not true. 1x per day regrows less than 2x per day. Also 5% regrows more than 2%. Increased absorption, like after a shower or with retin-A, allows 1x per day to be as good as 2x per day.


3x per day would be better than 2x only if they are about 8 hours apart. If they are close together, you won't get much more benifit. The fact is, if Xandrox15 works better than 5% minoxidil, (don't know this, just assuming), then 3x per day of 5% would work better than 2x per day.



If you want the 1x per day to have a chance of maintaining, apply it shortly after a shower.

I got my good minoxidil results when I applied 4mL twice a day to my head.

I don't know much about this 3x a day business, although I've been curious about it myself. I wouldn't go below twice a day though. I seem to recall a few stories of guys who only applied once a day for a long time, and then tried twice a day and noticed much better results.

When you reach the density/volume you want, you can cut it to once a day, it should theoritically maintain the minoxidil hair.
