Temporal peaks frame a face and produce symmetry by the effect eyebrow contouring. It is the third component in a 𝘵𝘳𝘪-𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵; the eyelashes contour the eyes, which are contoured by the eyebrows, contoured by the temporal peaks - a concept of aesthetic symmetry (Lawlor K, 2021). While temporal peaks are often included in the transplant, eyebrows and eyelashes are not. With natural aging and often in conjunction with miniaturizaton, most men will have a loss of eyebrow and eyelash diameter, length, and pigment thus losing two layers of the tri-layer framing effect, resulting in loss of facial balance and youthfulness. This can be avoided and often reversed via oral Minoxidil therapy.
Oral (tablet) Minoxidil sold under brand name Loniten promotes hair growth on scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes from systemic effect. It darkens hair by acting on melanocytes and is an off-label use pharmaceutical for hair growth (anagen) that requires prescription. It acts as an epidermal growth factor on matrix cells, via beta-catanin pathway, delaying their aging.
Thus anagen is increased.
Oral minoxidil serves to elongate the anagen phase of the hair cycle and acts as a potassium channel agonist, with action on the dermal papilla. Oral minoxidil is most effective in early on-set AGA where these anagen phases are at their best, and has minimal to no action on advanced hair loss, where stem cells/anagen phases are towards the end of their lifespan. It is crucial to lengthen anagen in youth, as there is a finite number of anagen phases in one's lifespan. In turn, early proactivity in youth will serve to lengthen youthful characteristics of the hair shaft.
Note that minoxidil is a growth promotor and does not address DHT, which causes miniaturization. Hair loss is progressive by nature and should be slowed down via finasteride under prescription management.

IMO ultimately the priority of medication for hairloss is maintenance. If you take an oral drug, you can't really target what it effects. Yeah great, it's making your hair much thicker, but after 15 years of taking it - what effects has it done on other areas of your body? Not saying you're guaranteed to have a cardiac arrest, but I don't think the longterm effects on your rest of the body are researched enough for this type of purpose. The fact it's not FDA approved for hairloss (despite the topical version being approved about 35 years ago) is also offputting for me personally.
This is why medical supervision is needed with these drugs and bi annual or annual prescriptions with checkup. If an issue arises the drug can be stopped to remove the effect. Low dosage is key for hair restoration.
Watching this right after HairCafe’s last video has me so on the fence 😖 great video as always though!
It is good to have diversity. I have not watched the video but I'll check it out, he's a great guy I respect. I can only speak for my content and I'm just relaying what I've experienced and seen in others first hand and then support the visual findings via pharmacology.
Great vid mate, can't agree more on the youthfulness oral minox provides
I had a hair transplant 3 years ago when i was 22. Tomorrow i will start taking oral minoxidil. In 3 months , i will write down in the comments about the results.
It’s been 2 months. Any results?
How’s it going bro?
@@Awhless i noticed seeing baby hairs growing between the hairs that i had on my crown area. It definitly is there and it works. Just gotta be very very patient. I also take saw palmetto and biotin supplements in the morning. I ll comment back on the 6th month. Also , a note : im taking 1mg of minoxdil instead of 3mg
Hey mate, I’m a NW 2.5-3 and I’m just 21. I’ve been on fin and min for 4 and 3 years respectively. As you might be able to guess, I will need a hair transplant one day. My ultimate goal is to have a hairline & hair density similar to yours, for which I need detailed plans and roadmaps. I’d be EXTREMELY thankful to you if you can provide everything to me in detail. I can even pay if needed. Balding at a young age definitely sucks.
Hello,
Yes I'd be happy to help. Please book your consultation here and include your goals and photos (if comfortable) but I can see on camera during the consultation.
Cheers

Thank you for the great video, I agree with what you said and also I’m taking oral thanks to you
I’m two months in and so far there’s hairs just past my temple point almost touching my eyebrow edge. Almost
I’m very excited for the 6month mark also I’m new to taking propecia
Thanks for getting me on these meds. I’ll keep you informed for any updates
Thanks for your incredible vids I find them highly entertaining!
That's great to hear, I'm delighted the videos have helped you! Your comment will give others confidence and further confirmation.
I’ve took oral minoxidil now for a whole year at 2.5mg per day and my eye brows and eye lashes and hair transplant is exactly the same there’s no difference in eye lashes or eye brows what am I doing wrong I wonder 😔
Great video i have been hesitant to take this because of potential side effects. I know matt dominance stopped for this reason since its existence has not been that long. But never new about the aging properties for hair thats great to hear. Thanks.
I've beeb taking minox 5mg for the last 8 months....first month a felt my heat beat a bit faster.....but i think it normilized.....no sides ever since......minox i think is indeed a youth pill, as he said...thicker end darker hair, eyebrows, eye lashes....everything contributes to a more youthful look!! I take duta as well....
Good to hear!
what could be the major side effect of oral minoxydil, my son is 23 yrs old and has gone through FUE transplant only in the frontal region. He is starting to have oral minoxydil or 2.5mg. pl respond. he has been suggested to use for 6 months. should he continue for life long after that?
What is preferable dose to start, oral minoxdil?
Hey thanks for the info.i would like to ask you about locklab which is a pill that has minxodil finasdride and biotin
Thanks for the video.
Would you mind doing a video about minoxidil shedding?
Sure thing
What are your thoughts on low dose Testosterone and DHT blockers like spironolactone added i got high T 820 naturally at 29 no gym just walks and groceries before was much more even, cause makes me too angry 😅
Does it help more or is there some secretive affect Testosterone helps with hair as opposed to DHT.
How about the role of estrogen perhaps a very micro dose?
In the US there's a three in one pill available by a company called locklab it has oral minoxidil, finasteride and biotin fused in one pill
That’s what I use!
That’s what I use!
Hey Killian do you still use dutasteride 0.5mg a week with finesteride 6x a week? If so did you see how it affected your blood if anything? (Via a comprehensive blood test)
I stopped Dutasteride after 6 months. I was shocked to see the side effect from this drug and even though after 3 months it stopped I reevaluated priorities and choose a more balanced routine for the long-term.
Great video. I really want to get on OM, only thing holding me back is the extra hair growth on arms back legs etc. how did you find thst side effect?
I would say chest hair got a little coarser but mainly the brows, lashes and scalp hair.
I had been on finasteride 1mg and topical minoxidil but I didn't see much result and I have started thin at 16 and starting treatment at age 18 and 15/2/2023. I don't have any receding hairline but hairs are still relatively thin like before even using fin 1mg and topical minox but maybe it has controlled the hair loss. Additionally, no one can tell I have hairloss when they first look at me. I tried looking for prp but prices are very high, then I switched to oral minoxdil 1mg now just about 3-4 days, hopefully to see better result and have I made right choice?
Oral Finasteride and oral minoxidil together are indeed the right choice.
What about combining oral with topical minoxidil? Would it it be more powerful
It would not be wise to introduce two different API as likely one will be stopped which will initiate a hair shed, and could result in you panicking and stopping both.
I cant take finestride due to persistent side effect like tinnitus and topical minoxidil because i have seb dermatitis. I was thinking to start oral minoxidal for a year or two also with PRP and then start new anti androgen treatment like BREEZULA or something
Do let us know how you get on.
Which manufacturers do you prefer for oral minoxidil? I've noticed that the generic finasteride options vary widely - curious on the best for minoxidil.
Loniten by Pfizer.
Yes, go with Pfizer, it's a massive pharmaceutical company with lots of resources to ensure quality and safety. Order from a reputable pharmacy with a licence such as Oxford. Their oral minoxidil is from Pfizer and has a near 100% 5* review for it. For finasteride I have been using propecia made by Merck, wonderful DHT blocking medicine with 0 side effects.
Will there be a difference in effect on the eyelashes/eyebrows when taking 5mg oral minxodidil per day compared to 10mg/day? Because if you were to take 50mg/day your eyelashes wouldn’t be 10 times thicker and longer compared to 5mg/day would they?
I would stick with 5mg max for hair restoration. It's plenty and with a lot of benefit to melanocytes and anagen etc.
Hi! Thanks for the video! How long before you can see first results of oral min? thanks!
4 months to start appreciating effect.
Thanks@@TheHairChemist
Would you recommend it for stress-related hair loss?
Unfortunately the only resolution is to eliminate the stress. I know this isn't easy.
Is it necessary to up oral minoxidil dose eventually?
More is not better and comes with increased risk. 2.5mg is the perfect amount many will find. There is not much aesthetic difference between 2.5mg and 5mg, but the chances of side effects increase from 5 to 20% between 2.5mg to 5mg respectfully.
Can you drink alcohol while taking 1-2.5mg of oral minoxidil?
Yes
Im getting darker hair even 4 to 6 months into 1.25mg even 1 friend was like did u dye ur hair i did also add more hair masks too.
Now 1 year on 1.25 and another 4 months with 2.5mg yet another benefit my hair is improved that touch more vertix almost good completely.
I would have been NW3V before all meds i was on transition with long hair, but now its strange like 2 but better 1.75 but I did look at the picture from 10 years ago and the density of the hairline is just nowhere same and it was like NW 0.5 i was 19 now 29 but its note even as good qualify as 6 years ago wither but like 3 years ago in some spots and like 5 years in the already fuller spots.
Indeed it acts on the pigmenting cells called melanocytes.
Severe sides like dizziness, shortness of breath, potential development of pericarditis are just not worth it. And not even proven to be more efficacious than topical. Just blast 1mg+ DUTA lol.
At low dosage this is unlikely.
Does it make grey hair darker
It can, but I would look at it more as slowing down the process in hair that has not greyed.
What about heart problems?
I’ve been on it for almost 3 months 5mg loniten and no problems here. Some people do get heart palpitations but they end up going away after continue use.
It scares people and people stop taking it and it makes sense it may be frightening. But people didn’t give the medication time for the the body to adjust to it
💯
This guys hair baffles me. It's like an optical illusion.
Love it! 😂😂😂
What’s your thoughts on sublingual minoxidil ?
Taking an oral tablet sublingual makes little sense as you bypass the process of disintegration and dissolution which the tablet is designed to undergo so the API can be released in a time controlled fashion and relative to the required pH.
@@TheHairChemist I’m talking about the sublingual tablet version of minoxidil,

I was talking about sublingual minoxidil version (tablets) not the oral one , which was designed to bypass the liver and go straight to blood stream,

@@1beingay557I take sublingual minoxidil. It’s in trochee format. Dissolves under your tongue
Your hair like this looks nice
I have massive thinning and shedding after 6 months with Oral Minoxidil 1.25 grams daily.
Are you on Finasteride? What is the manufacturer of oral Minoxidil you take
@@TheHairChemist yes, I have been with Finasteride for a year and a half. I'm not sure who is the manufacturer of its minoxidil since I'm in the US and it's coming in a pharmacy generic jar.
@@SHFMIAtry switching to brand name.
@@TheHairChemist thanks
Yeah but how long will it take started 2 weeks ago
3-4 months to see effect
I got body hair very quickly but can't tell with head.
I haven't seen this hairstyle since the 80tees
Been on oral minoxidil for 2 months. No side effects
Didn’t you stop due to side effects?
@@crownzac I went back to topical after the first time because I was getting heart palpitations. But when I went back to topical my scalp kept burning and red all the time. I started the pill again but in lower dose. No side effects for two months hopefully it works
@@thehairguyhmr great, I hope it works out man
Good to hear, many avoid side effects via titrating.
Yeah, I think Id stay with topicals if I had to choose but Saw palmetto and Rosemary do just fine if prepared correctly. I reversed 10 years of Norwood 7 severe hair loss naturally and simple tools and show other men how to do so on my channel.
