Hair care: 'I filled in my hairline and reversed my bald patches with just one product applied twice a week'

The TikToker specified in her post's caption that she achieved these results by applying the medication only twice per week, rather than daily as typically recommended.

Corine joins numerous social media users who have turned to minoxidil, a topical medication designed to stimulate hair growth in cases of hereditary hair loss.

The medication works by increasing new hair growth when applied as a topical solution or foam directly to the scalp.

Users typically need to wait between two and four months of regular application before seeing noticeable improvements.

Crucially, the treatment requires ongoing use to maintain results. Hair regrowth depends on continuous application, with any new growth typically falling out within three months of stopping the medication.

Medical guidance indicates that users should discontinue treatment and consult their healthcare team if no new growth appears after four months of consistent use.

The medication must be kept away from eyes, nose, mouth and other sensitive areas, with immediate rinsing required if contact occurs.

Users should wash their hands after each application and avoid treating cut, scraped or sunburned scalp areas.

Whilst minoxidil is widely available and FDA-approved, it carries potential side effects including scalp irritation from topical use and possible dizziness or mood changes from oral versions.

The treatment is unsuitable for certain groups, particularly pregnant women and individuals with specific health conditions.
