As such some people get bags under their eyes and droopy aging looking skin. I’m not saying that’d happen to you but it happened to me and it’s a known side effect. People get bags without minoxidil. Hard to say if it’s minoxidil or normal aging. Similar to fin and ED, sometimes correlation doesn’t equal causation. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

If you stop Minoxidil, oral or not, do the baggy eyes and droopy skin relieve themselves? Or is this something that just kind of "sticks" for a while?

I think the idea is that minoxidil causes water retention. This is actually a proven side effect in many that take it orally. I think it’s more referring to “puffy eyes” rather than eye bags but both end up giving the look of tiredness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more referring to “puffy eyes” rather than eye bags but both end up giving the look of tiredness This is what I experienced. A quick Google shows there are other members here who experienced these sides too. Some even uploaded photos. I took photos and my puffy eyes went back to normal after 20 ish days. I don’t think this is the place to talk oral minoxidil sides but I got them and relate to puffy eyes. You describe it better. Another known factual side is water retention in the ankles and breathing issues. The good news is once you stop taking it everything goes back to normal.

Regular Member kiwidan Posted August 10, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted August 10, 2022 Yeah I HATE to ask but I'm so curious to see what it'd look like cut short. But as somebody who's had a HT, who's been happy for years with his results and hair style, I'd be loathe to do it myself so I get it 😂 1 ------------------------------------- 700 graphs is never enough!

I think that’s something we all have to accept. Even the very best results have weaknesses. Couldn't agree more with that point Melvin. Hopefully for you, more months of maturity get you closer to where you want to be from a density standpoint. From the looks of it right behind the hairline seems very dense, which makes sense because you had hair there before. Personally I like it when the first 3 to 4 rows aren't super dense. It gives such a natural look when it's a little diffused then gradually thickening to no transparency visually. Definitely see that being the case for you as the months progress. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
