I am 20 years old and I have beard growth problem .so I came to know about minoxidil solution 5% and my question is that ,can I use this after shaving? Shaving once a week during the medication causes any ineffectiveness of the medicine?

Although the exact mechanism by which Minoxidil works is not fully understood, the treatment is a vasodilator, meaning it widens the blood vessels to deliver more oxygen-rich blood to the hair follicles. Minoxidil also helps increase the size of hair follicles. May use after shaving.
