Rogaine- Covering more surface area

[Paulygon]

I know Rogaine is recommend and proven to be effective for the crown (probably because that's where they tested it in trials).

 

I apply it to my crown AND to the front of my head. I run through this stuff like crazy and run out much faster than most people who use it at the recommended dosage level. Getting refills/reloading becomes a nuisance because I have to buy 3-packs every 5 weeks.

 

Is my logic correct in that if I am trying to cover more surface area than the CROWN, then I have to increase the amount of dosage I am applying? 5 mL seems too little to cover both the crown and frontal scalp....

 

ANY THOUGHTS?

You must really be using a lot. I put it on my crown and front too and go through one container every 3 weeks. I've read quite a bit that using more doesn't improve the results.

I've always taken the philosophy that the recommended 5ml was meant to primarily cover the crown. I also apply it all over, including the front and I tend to add a bit more in order to get more coverage.

 

I use foam and I have not really paid attention to how quickly I go through a bottle but I'd say it lasts about 3 weeks.

Ditto. I use foam and run a few streaks from front to crown then rub it in.

Well after my HT I am applying it using a spray - 5 sprays is 1ml. I do after apply a folded tissue at the front of my forehead as it has caused spots, that's why I hate drops as they drip.
