Does 5% minoxidil causes bags under eyes, wrinkles and advanced ageing?

May 11, 2016
Asked By:SurferDude91 in Los Angeles, CA

My hair transplant consultant said he would never recommend it to anyone for these reasons. However, my doctor prescribed minoxidil 5%. I used it for more than 2 years without noticing any skin problems except pimples here and there when minoxidil came in contact on my face due to sweat from my scalp.
