how long?

[crossingfingers]

i've decided to just go on folligen for my hairline. My question is, how long will it take for the increased facial hair to return to baseline after i stop using minoxidil. I was using xandrox 15, any difference with the time frame it will take for my facial hair to return back to normal as oppose to 5% minoxidil. Thank you

[BadHairDecade]

I'd luv to help but I don't have a clue what you're talking about. Are you using minoxidil on your face or something?
Or do you somehow think using minoxidil on your head has increased your facial hair?
What's your age?

You should ask Ken's customer. He has minoxidil-induced-facial-hair (internationally known as MIFH) too. Note: Your question has already been answeres before.

OK. Let's get serious. Before we can say something about your facial hair you have to specify some things. It's like somebody going to a forum saying "I have an headache, what is it?".
You have to tell us the following:

1.) Are there vellus facial hairs or terminal facial hairs ?
2.) What is the anagen rate of your facial hairs ?
3.) Do you also take finasteride ?
4.) Do you have facial hairs on your nose too?
5.) Was a trichoscan done with your facial hair ?
6.) Did you unintentionally swallowed some minoxidil ?
7.) Are you sure that you use real minoxidil ?
8.) Did you experience real facial hair growth or have existing facial hairs just thickened ?
9.) Do you have a photographic assessmant of facial hair counts ?
10.) Do you notice increased hair growth also on other parts of the body ?
11.) Were there times of shedding of your facial hair ?
12.) How much inch does the facial hair grow per month ?
13.) Is the facial hair equally distributed over your face or are there spots with more hairs ?
14.) Do you have itching or flaking in your face ?
15.) How old are you ?

When you've answered these 15 questions, we can start on discovering how long it will take until they're gone or whether your facial hair is reversible at all.

ok bismarck, i played along now only having faith that your not jerking me around with a million questions. If you dont have a simple answer after having just answered your questions, i dont know what to say my man. Im fed up and im desperate here as you can see to get answer. I ONLY HOPE YOU DONT COME BACK AGAIN WITH MORE OF YOUR ANTICS BUT INSTEAD JUST A SIMPLE ANSWER. AFTER THIS IF I STILL DONT GET AN ANSWER, I GIVE UP. IM QUITTING THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY EVERYBODY IS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. ILL FIND ANOTHER FORUM WHERE PEOPLE ARE GENIUNELY WILLING TO HELP AND NOT MAKE THINGS ANY HARDER!!!!!!!! COME ON GUYS, IM NOT ASKING ON HOW TO BUILD A ROCKET HERE. I FEEL LIKE THIS WEBSITE IS FULL OF BUREACRATIC BS...RED TAPE RED TAPE....GOTA GO THROUGH SO MUCH BS JUST FOR A SIMPLE ANSWER.

16.) Is your minoxidil a liquid, a gel or a cream ?

 

[Bismarck]

17.) do you apply it when your scalp is dry or still a bit wet (after the shower) ?

 

[The Gardener]

hehe... losing patience with the newbies, Bismarck? Welcome to the dark side, hehe!

:twisted:

 

[johnnycash]

Man that was funny sh*t. Did it increase hair growth on your *** as well?

 

[Bismarck]

18.) Do you notice any of these side-effects? chest pain, quick heart beat, very irregular heart beat, low blood pressure, dizziness ?

Alright, I guess its time for me to step in. I got an email from crossfingers so im going to reply here.

Crossfingers there are two things happening here.

1. Someone new who genuinely needs help (you) asks a question that seems to be really important to you. You've correlated the decrease in facial hair with being able to get on with your life.

2. Someone saw this and thought it sounded absurd, so they decided to poke a little fun at it.

The incidence of poking fun at newbies increases... the more time the regular poster stays here. Guys who have been here for a year (not sure if there are any right now) eventually begin manifesting signs of insanity in response to questions that have been asked over and over or just seem weird. The reason? Millions of questions from newbies that range from legitimate and understandable to downright weird. Over and over and over.

On a scale of 1 to 100, 1 being completely understandable, 100 being completely stupid, yours probably fell into the range of 60 or 70. Just a little on the weird side. Not majorly weird.

But enough for a regular who is quickly losing his patience to just go off the deep end and start trying to make a point with inane responses. (Bismark)

It takes a regular who is still fairly new to resist the urge to poke fun at the newbie questions that don't seem relevant to anything.

Either way? Nobody means any harm.

Now getting to your question, Ill probably articulate what the others didn't have the energy to:

Why does it matter when your facial hair will decrease?

That said, unfortunately, nobody can answer your question. There hasn't been any documentation of the estimated time for minoxidil induced facial hair to grow, or how long it takes to go away. My guess would be just use basic logic and assume that it will take roughly the same amount of time it took to show up.

I resent that. I've been here over a year, and I'm perfectly sane.

That's not fair :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: . In fact crossingfinger asked that questions already 2 times before and it was answered with "about 6 months".
Some of my responses are not as inane (whatever that means) as they seem to be. I think it would be more helpfull for crossingfingers to find out why he grows facial hair since I'm quite sure we will not only loose his facial hairs if he switches vom minoxidil to Revivogen. If crossingfingers answered questions 16,17,18 it would be possible to point out if he applies it in a wrong a or if it is perhaps absorbed systemically.

So what are you saying Otto?. My facial hair is irreversable? And also, i did ask you if it was going to take six months for my facial hair to return to baseline, and you said " are you sure?" So that impled that 6 months wasn't the correct answer.

 

[GourmetStyleWellness]

Cmon bis you know 80% of your posts in this thread were tongue in cheek. I hope you're not offended like you sound. I was poking fun too.

Guys - minoxidil causes increased facial hair in some people. Peach fuzz on the sideburns, eyebrows, moustache, beard area. It goes away probably as fast (or slow) as it came.

That's pretty much it.

So what are you saying Otto?

First, I can't remember that I allowed you call me Otto.

My facial hair is irreversable?

That was a small joke. It was also a joke to claim that the vellus facial hairs will shed and that they will be replaced by terminal facial hairs. I see that facial hairs seem to be really a problem for you. They aren't. Even if they were not reversible, there are easy methods like shaving to keep them invisible. Why am I and others doing some jokes about you? We are applying tons of chemistry every day on our scalp to keep our hairs alive, we accept being unable to have an erection, some are growing tits, others would pay 30000$ to have a transplant. And there is a guy posting every 5 days who sounds as if he is going to die because of his vellus facial hairs. Dude, read BHD's post "I'm giving up". What would he give if vellus facial hairs were is only problem?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

crossingfingers, honestly, I don't know how long it will take until they return to "baseline". I guess 3 to 6 months. But I'm sure your main goal is to maintain or regrow the hairs on your head! Most here will agree that you won't have the same results with Revivogen as with Minoxidil.
So I recommend to try to find out if you do anything wrong with your application such that you can fix that problem and continue with minoxidil without growing facing hairs.
The latest questions are no jokes (unlike some of the others ...) and answering them could really be helpfull.
