the only real deal to gain beard is implants i think, i'll try to keep an eye on this option but for now it coast too much

I know that following articles were said here many times but I would like to repeat it in regards of my own 2-year experience in Rogaine (Minoxidil).

1- You will never gain new hairs on your face if you have not roots. What I mean is that you will never gain new hairs by using these products but they will foster what you have. Therefore, try minoxidil for a period of 10 months and then never hope to gain more than what you gain during this period because it is... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (beardbeard) http://jefffsbeardboard.yuku.com/sreply/89105 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 01:04:20 GMT http://jefffsbeardboard.yuku.com/reply/88927/t/Rogaine-Experiment.html#reply-88927
You should post an introduction in the General Discussion section rather than add to the Rogaine thread...you'll get a lot more feedback.

I'm 29 yrs old and never had serious facial hair, only a week goatee and weeker/some of the weekest sideburns.
I've started using rogaine foam (I was affraid of rashes or itchy skin) about 2 months ago, on 6th of october
So far no side effects and the vellus hair seems to turn faster into terminal hair (I'm alrady shaving more that... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (twilight) http://jefffsbeardboard.yuku.com/sreply/88900 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:50:31 GMT http://jefffsbeardboard.yuku.com/reply/88404/t/Rogaine-Experiment.html#reply-88404 could you please update us your progress with some pictures? it would be interesting to see how much you gained in two years and if you keep it all now that you are going to stop using it indefinitely

My update:

Background for new readers:
- I am only applying minox in the middle of the stache (below the nose) and in the connectors of the goatee (not fully developed there) I had only a few non pigmented vellus hair there.
- I am 29 y.o.
- The rest of my beard and stache is full and thick (as you can see in the avatar picture).
- I started using minox on... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (lategroomer999) http://jefffsbeardboard.yuku.com/sreply/88368 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:23:53 GMT http://jefffsbeardboard.yuku.com/reply/88211/t/Rogaine-Experiment.html#reply-88211
Remember I started in April 2008 (mid March exactly), continued until April 2009 with small periods in which I applied the stuff less frequently.
I had nothing to begin with and now I wonder if the hairs I gained are terminal or not.
I put pics in my profile, please give me your opinion !

Thanks!

my face is swollen, as well. I hate it. I have been using rogaine for two years but with two long breaks, and have gained a lot so far. however I think it is not worth for your health and money because when you stop, not all you gained but many of them will gone. I gave up yesterday and never gonna use it again. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (beardbeard) http://jefffsbeardboard.yuku.com/sreply/88176 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:57:15 GMT http://jefffsbeardboard.yuku.com/reply/87851/t/Rogaine-Experiment.html#reply-87851 in your place I would give it just a few days (about 3) if you stopped using it and already 3 days have gone and the symptoms are still present you must seek medical advice, if the symptoms are already subsiding then just limit your salt ingestion, do exercise and dont ever use minox again, and you should be fine, sorry but is not worth it to risk your health for a beard, there are always other options ]]> feeds@yuku.com (jcthomas) http://jefffsbeardboard.yuku.com/sreply/87851 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:14:33 GMT http://jefffsbeardboard.yuku.com/reply/87848/t/Rogaine-Experiment.html#reply-87848
I have been using Rogaine (Equate) for about 3 months now (once or twice a day) and have seen decent positive results.

However, recently i am experiencing 2 unwanted symptoms which could be attributed to the used of Minox and i would love to hear from other users out there for comments if they had similar experiences:

I wonder if any of you have any idea about the use of tretinoin cream (retin a) with minox at the same time? I am confused because some support using it with minox while others do not. I really need a clear explanation? thanks for all answers
