Hello Doctor,
So iam a little hesitant for using Minoxidil, since i have some friends and they said if i start using Minoxidil once i cant stop using it then since it has negative effects then, also i travel frequently so there might be chances where i don't use Minoxidil for frequent times?

Brief Answer:
Percos
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
It's true that minoxidil works only till the time you use it, but stopping it will not cause increase in hair fall.
You can apply it whenever you get time.
There are no long term side effects of minoxidil.
I suggest you to use it along with dermaroller.
Another substitute to minoxidil is Percos hair serum.
You can use it on regular basis.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

Wash your scalp and let it dry.
On dry scalp use dermaroller from front to back and then from one ear to the other side.
Apply percos or minoxidil lotion over the scalp and let it dry.
Do not wash for at least 4 hours.
You can use oil once a week, don't use dermaroller on the day of application of oil.
You can shampoo on alternate days.
