[Most recent to least] Been on T for over 6 years, only got as much facial hair on T alone before I started taking topical minox in March (8th picture) started oral minox in May (6th picture). Ive been consistent ever since I started.

I really thought I wasnt going to get as much facial hair as I have but minox def helped start it off after so long😭

Hiii, I hope that I'm not posting this in the wrong place but this is probably the best place I can find answers at for gender affirming care related stuff, so to any and all dudes willing to chime in, I'd be very grateful!! IF THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE: I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING TO FIND ANSWERS AND SOURCES FOR TOPICAL MINOXIDIL FOR BODY HAIR - if you could point me to some good subreddits, that would be awesome!

I'm Basil (20GF) and I've been considering for a while to start taking topical minoxidil for a happy trail on my stomach.

A happy trail is what gives me the most confidence and makes me feel most like how I'm supposed to be in my body.

I only want hair concentrated to my stomach, not my chest or anywhere else

I was hoping I could find someone who has or knows someone who has taken it for similar reasons and could tell me any risks, side effects, and hopefully successes.

Like does the hair only stay in the applied spot, or does it spread out from there? I've heard that hair growth from Minoxidil is not permanent for some people, so that's also another question.

Does it affect people around you, and has it ever accidentally gotten on a partner?

My girlfriend is of the intentionally smooth-skinned variety, and I don't want to accidentally mess something up. I guess I'm especially worried about this because I know you're supposed to let it dry anyways, but with it being on my stomach I have concerns.

I'm already aware of the health risks with pets and I've already researched and prepared for that. My roommate owns budgies (parakeets) and I plan to only apply it in my room before bed, and wash it off in the shower the morning after.

Spray was the only kind available and ive only been able to find tutorials for foams.

Any tips are appreaciated, thanks

Hey everyone

Been on T for a few years but I’m not exactly hairy. Beard is definitely an issue and I was never able to use minoxi before bc of my acne. Acne is all cleared up now that I’ve been on T for a while so I want to start minoxi.

On average how long does it take in order to start seeing results? And also, for how many hours aprox should I leave it on my face? Any tips are welcome!

Editing to say that I take oral minox but tbh I don’t think is given me any facial hair lol maybe just a bit. It’s helped by giving me somewhat of arm hair and so.

Did topical once a day for a year and a half and then switched to oral for the last 6 months. I'd say I got a beard pretty fast considering I've only been on T for 2.5 years

just over 10 weeks of topical minoxidil, just got my prescription for oral so hoping for even more gains including body hair 🤞

Been on oral minox for about 2 years now (pre-T) and overall I couldn’t be happier - not a huge amount of facial hair but the ‘stache is popping and I’ve noticed a massive increase in all the places I already had hair, eyebrows, legs etc (which makes sense, given how it works)

But one thing I was not expecting…was the nose hair 😂 it’s weirdly gender affirming in a way because what’s more masculine than literal tufts of thick black hair emerging from your nostrils so yes I do love them, but it wasn’t something I anticipated!

Anyone else have a similar experience with places you didn’t know you were disproportionately hairy til the min kicked in?

This is the hair above my lip (3 months on t)
I see a lot of guys who are around my time on t witu a whole stache. Should I be using minoxidil or is this notmal amount

Hey fellas, I’m getting ready to go off to college in the next year or so and I wanna get a head start on my facial hair so I’m hopefully a little less clocky by the time I go. Only problem is I don’t want my parents to notice because they’re not that accepting, especially not if I take meds… how long does it usually take to start growing facial hair on minox without T?

I've been using niacinamide serum and moisturizer 30 min after minoxidil foam. I looked it up but I keep getting very different answers. I don't want to dilute/move around the minoxidil on accident.

I’m starting T in a few months but I really want facial hair already. I have pets and have been considering the pill version if I can access it.

Does it work if I’m not on T yet? Should I be waiting instead?

T: 20 months

M: consistently 1x / day for 4-5 months

As more terminal hair is coming & staying, I’ve been really intrigued by more of these red hairs coming in. I have dark brown (and some silver…) hair on my head, so I was expecting just a dark beard. I hope more keep coming in - I love it! You can also see here the real thin patch I have under my chin… hoping that will fill in. It’s real obvious (to me at least) in photos / on screen for work videoconferencing.

started T two months ago, minox since 17, beard finally starting to go strong💪🏾

Hi! I would like to start minoxidil but only can access liquid form. I do not own cats myself but sometimes visit a friend who has cats (and they LOVE to give kisses).
I wonder if it would be safe to just not apply minox the day I want to see the cats.

Are there any consequences of not applying it once in a while? How long does it stay on your face and is potentially dangerous? Could a good face wash on that day ensure that it is completely off me or do I have to wait more?

Thanks!

So I am one month on the foam minoxidil and there has been some growth since my last post! I have since shaved as I wanted to tidy up a bit 🥹 I am noticing some thicker hair and a few more darker hairs around my cheeks a little sparse but what I noticed most was how fluffy and long the peach fuzz is getting! So I'm just gonna continue and see how it goes and hopefully after 9 years on T I'm on the right track to getting a beard! 🤞

i’m 23 and i’m trying to grow thicker and more facial hair, can minox help or am i better off just being patient?

Hey guys, so I've been looking for minoxodil everywhere in my city for the past like few weeks and i could only find a bottle of 2%. I've heard people say 2% is just a waste of time and wont even do anything but idk i feel like 2% is better than nothing. What's everyone's experience with it?

Minoxidil 2x Day + Derma pen 1x Week (2mm, 12-needle) + Tretinoin 0.05% at night 3x Week

I am starting to lose hope, I need help, what should I do? should I quit?
