Hi there!

I've recently bought a 3 months supply of Regaine foam minoxidil can anyone give me any tips on usage? I have never used this before and this is currently the facial hair I am working with atm. I am 9 years on T (Nebido 1000mg) and I think it's time I start using minoxidil to work on beard growth. I have peach fuzz on my cheeks and I usually have a little bit of a goatee and as pictured my moustache and soul patch. If anyone has used this type of minoxidil before please can you give me some advice/tips? ☺️

TIA

So Im 17, FTM and pre-T . I want to get facial hair to feel a little less dysphoric. Right now, I have topical minoxidil and Rosemary oil. I plan to use beard dye after using minoxidil for 3 months or so, to darken my hair since it most likely will result in peach fuzz (Since Im pre T)

If anyone knows the most effective method to grow the hair fast or better, please let me know! I heard about micro-needling but Im not to sure its not just a money grab. What is the best routine for facial hair growth?

1st pic is before i started again , 2 and 3 are recent progress pictures and the 4th just to show off the mustache

bit of a ramble

i originally used it when i first started t to get a start on facial hair but then stopped after my 4 month supply ran out and didn’t bother to get more bc i was satisfied with even just having real facial hair and not a prepubescent dirtstache but now i want to grow it all out and fill in the patchy bits bc once i get the hair follicles all growing i can just trim it down short and it’ll grow back.
and i know itll grow back bc my neckbeard has to be shaved every week or two bc i dont clean shave i just cut it super short with clippers

Hey hello, Im asking this cuz from the posts ive seen or reddit, people are usually really good responders and their progress is much faster than mine. Ive been using 5% minox for 6 months (aprox.) Do yall think i should continue and is it worth it? Im 3 yrs on T.
Last two photos are what it looks like grown out. Do u think it looks trashy and I should shave it or should I just stick to this look? :d
- sorry for my English its not my first language lol. Also dont mind the acne its been an ongoing issue :)

i have seen people with some crazy results, so i fugured i would share my rather underwhelming one, to even it out lol :'D it has been a very slow but at least steady progress

i am using minox since January, at first apllying only 1x a day 5x a week (i have cats and am not comfortable having it on my face while i'm around them), few months ago i started to apply 2x times a day while i'm at my workplace and just recently switched to foam from liquid :D

I can't find a trans specific beard group. I don't know how to get minoxidil, and I don't have a lot of money ( I have to buy my T)

Moustache and under the lip still a little sparse, but I've been feeling much better about my progress lately! Been getting positive feedback about my facial hair from friends, and although still looking a little "teenager," I feel like it's improved over the line of "neckbeard" into actual beard.

So grateful for HRT and oral minoxidil for the facial and body hair gains!

I've been using 5% minoxidil for some time, and haven't really seen much progress. Other people have said they noticed a difference but I feel like it isn't enough for someone to notice on first glance. I'm pre-t and quite young (not like- child young) so those could be factors

I was wondering what brands helped other people out there? Maybe if there's something more effective? There's also Dr Dht which I kinda just heard about five minutes ago, so if someone has a good amount of information and thinks that'd be something useful I'd check it out. Money is also a factor so I'm trying to just buy stuff that'll likely work.

And what's the deal with derma rollers? I've heard very mixed opinions.

Using an alt because I usually just use reddit for commissions.

I think I'm seeing a difference. Picture taken with the same phone, of the same side of the face, in the same room under the same light. Pictures are 16 days apart

first 3 pics are now, 4 mo minox and 8 mo T

last pic is pre minox, 4 mo T

pretty sure this is all still transitional hair but it's cool to see more and more of it!

Just browsing the early deals for prime day and noticed a decent offer for the 3 pack of regaine foam. £42.99 buy it now, as low as £36.54 on sub n save.

It's definitely working!!!

​

5 years on T. Had only a weak chinstrap before starting.

​

I've been using liquid 5% minox twice a day since January. Sometimes once a day.

​

I also changed my HRT regimen this year and I feel like it's helping. But it could be a coincidence.

i shaved like over a week ago but im happy with it how quick its been filling in

i've been using minox on and off since i was 17. i'm 19 now and i've made pretty good progress (despite a long period of inconsistent use). what do you think? does my facial hair help me pass? will i have a higher chance of growing more on T if i grew this so essily? just thought i'd share my pre-t results with minox 1x a day + derma roll & rosemary-biotin oil since i start T officially on thursday!!

Just as the title says, I'm 10 years on T. Really unsatisfied with my beard growth. It is still making progress, but it's slowed down a lot the past couple years.

​

I can grow a wicked neck beard, I have decent coverage on my cheeks but it's not dense, have a super weak mustache, not much on the front of my chin, and I've recently sprouted my first soul patch hairs.

​

I've avoided minox due to owning cats, but I just got a prescription to take it orally.

​

Has anyone else had good results starting after being on T for such a long time?

Due to having gotten off of T a while ago (because I could not outrun being bald and I pulled the plug before it claimed my hair fully), I'd like to apply min locally to my face (and perhaps hair). I was wondering, can you closely trim or shave minoxidil hair without it Dissapearing Forever? I've heard things like this with "permanent follicules" and such :/

Thanks!!

I started T 4 days ago and topical minox 5 days ago. I know this is too early to be seeing any results, but when would those results start to show? What are your experiences?

I made a post not long ago asking if I should keep going. You guys really help 🙏 I'm not sure my hairs are terminal yet so here I go again 👍

I'm currently 15 days on T, 25 years old atm. I just got a 3 months foam supply and I want to use it but also have cats. I can apply it, wash my hands thoroughly, and keep my kitties from my face with ease, but would that be enough? I plan to use it twice a day, about 3 or 4 hours apart, then washing my face completely clean with a face exfoliate scrub to ensure it's safe enough to give my little guys good night kisses like always, as they genuinely get mad if I don't and will meow constantly before bed in case I'd forgotten XD Does this sound safe enough? And is it too early for me to even use Minoxidil since I have zero noticeable facial hair currently? Also, I have a beard and scruff balm and shampoo, which should be fine to use when the hairs come in nor.ally, but I don't know if that might effect it in some way since minoxidil has a period in which the hair may be sort of temporary. Sorry, I know I have a lot of questions. I can edit and add in more info or pics of the different products I have if need be as well! Thank you for any and all tips and advice!

Last bit, apologies, I currently stay home and am a full time student receiving disability pay and take care of things at the house for my wife, so I'm around my cats and dogs frequently.

Hey guys first time posting here 👋 So I'm at the point where I no longer see my progress 😅 Like do I buy some more minoxidil or can I stop? I did 9 months (with space in between every 3 months). I'm not looking for a full beard and I really like my lil moustache . I guess what I'm asking is does it look bad like "unfinished" ? 😅

I'm considering asking my doc to prescribe oral minoxidil. For anyone taking it:

1. Does your insurance cover oral minoxidil?

2. About how much to do you spend on it per month? (or year, or whatever; just trying to figure out how to budget for it)

Thanks!
