I use a tiny dropper. Are there different results between applying 20 or 25 drops of 5% Minoxidil?

Question

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. No, there are not differences between that application. Follow the listed amount on the bottle and make sure to rub into your scalp. Also consider NeoGraft for a permanent natural-looking transplant solution.Best wishes,

If you use the solution formation of minoxidil, the FDA approved dose is 1 mL. This translates to approximately 25 drops. But the dose is 1 mL. Be sure to see your dermatologist to review if you're doing it right.

It has to do with the size of your balding area.  Some people need to use more minioxidil than others.  However, if you are not sure which area you have to cover, you need to talk to your doctor.
