Q 2-3.
When is the Best Time to Start Treatment with Minoxidil?
When is the best time for everybody to start treatment with minoxidil? When will be the most appropriate time for a person to start using minoxidil solution, if he wants to obtain the maximum effect of topical minoxidil?
A 2-3.
There is no correct answer to this question. There is no consensus of opinions about the best opportunity to begin treatment with minoxidil.
When a person has begun to worry about thinning of hair, it will be the best time for him to start hair growth medicine. Any age will do.
In the author’s opinion, it is important for young people to begin to use hair growth medicine regardless of gender.
It will be more practical to try to maintain thick hair in young generation than to try to make fine hair thick in the older age.
For example, if you use a hair growth agent, which increases average hair diameter by 18% (hair density increase by 39%), the diameter of terminal hair will increase from 70-80 micrometer to 83-94 micrometer, whereas the diameter of vellus hair will change from 10-20 micrometer to only 12-24 micrometer.
It means that making hair thicker in an early stage of hair thinning and keeping thick hair for a long time is much more effective than trying to make fine hair thick in an advanced stage of hair thinning.
Fine vellus hair does not change to thick terminal hair even if the hair growth medicine works very effectively.
