minus-squareMoc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-21 year agoIf your body has the ability to grow more hairs, it will grow more hairs.
minus-squareMoc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·edit-21 year agoNo lol it’s over the counter and you apply it topically. The liquid is more powerful than the foam, but the foam is better for sensitive skin. Couple of things: Wash your face before use Apply it topically to the area 2* a day Wash it off after an hour then apply moisturiser Use sunscreen and wear a hat. Minox makes skin more sensitive to sun damage. It was originally a blood pressure medication with a side effect of growing hair. Don’t take it if you have blood pressure issues.

Minoxidil

If your body has the ability to grow more hairs, it will grow more hairs.
Is that strictly prescription?
