According to this study, fibroblasts were inhibited in vitro. As well there are many anecdotal reports of users complaining of an increase in wrinkles, looking "old" via collagen degradation. Could this theoretically mean Minoxidil can hinder tendon/ligament healing rates or even put a healthy user at risk of such injuries?
