Thank you for your question. I suggest that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Apply the listed amount of Minoxidil all over your scalp and rub deeply. Also consider NeoGraft for a permanent natural-looking solution. Best wishes,

You can do both treatments together. I do my finesteride at night and my minoxidil twice daily.  I find they work better with PRP/progesterone injections.  Best, Dr. Emer.
