if you use minoxidile you have to use it for all the baldness area. İ suggest with this to use also finasteride or laser comb.

You'll want to speak wirh your physician regarding how best to apply. Minoxidil should be applied to areas where hair is thinning. It should not be applied to areas that are unaffected.
