Should I apply 5% Minoxidil only on thin areas or all over my head?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Its best to apply this like hair coloring... spread the hair into sections and apply a small amount directly to the scalp.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

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,

I recommend applying minoxidil only to the
balding scalp areas.You may want to
consult with a hair restoration specialist who will measure hair
miniaturization and point out the best places to apply the minoxidil especially
if you are not sure.

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Thank you for posting your question. The focus on the application of the minoxidil should be on the thinning areas of the scalp, but you can also apply it to areas not affected. Hope this helps.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

For men and women with androgenetic alopecia, minoxidil should be applied to areas of hair thinning. It should not be applied to unaffected areas.
