Lowlon Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hi Guys, i am applying minoxidil two times a day. Now i am considering applying it just once a day, because it can be really annoying in the morning before leaving the house. Can i also just apply it once a day with the dosage of a whole day? Does anyone else also just apply it once? PS: I am using minoxidil foam from regaine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCaps Posted March 7, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 7, 2022 The overall consensus, if you use it 2X per day, you are getting 100% of the medication. If you use it once a day, you are still getting 90%. Yes, it is labor intensive. Just do it once and see how that goes. The med, by the way, is systemic. That is, you can just put in on any one place. The skin absorbs the med. Patient Consultant for Dr. Arocha at Arocha Hair Restoration.

Senior Member TheGreatPretender Posted March 7, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 7, 2022 I think once should be good enough tough I always been following the twice a day as a standard just to eliminate any doubts on my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA1989 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) Another vote for once in the morning. If you use it at night the solution will get transferred to your pillow and then to your face. You might grow 5 more hairs but look 5 years older 😊 Edited March 7, 2022 by AA1989 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member alexmillne Posted November 5, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 5, 2023 Ive been thinking about this long and hard... What you guys think?: If you use it twice a day all over your scalp, you're more likely to cover every area than if you only do it once a day. You don't need a study to see that. For people with thinning hair like me, doing it twice a day is a good idea because it gives you a second chance to apply it in case you missed any spots during the morning application when you do it again in the evening. Is my thinking wrong?? Also can someone explain the half life theory to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member GibGob Posted November 8, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) What I like to do is fill up a cap with the foam and then melt it with heat until it turns liquid. Then I use a dropper to apply and gently rub in. I just feel it absorbs better that way. I apply 2x a day Edited November 8, 2023 by GibGob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
