What is Minoxidil?

Minoxidil is an FDA-approved topical treatment for hair loss. It increases blood flow to the hair follicles and stimulates follicular activity, potentially extending the hair’s growth phase and regrowing hair.

How to Use Minoxidil

1. Application:

• Step 1: Ensure the scalp is clean and dry.
• Step 2: Apply the recommended dose (typically 1 mL) directly to the affected areas of the scalp.
• Step 3: Spread it evenly with your applicator, avoiding dripping.
• Step 4: Allow it to dry completely (usually 1-2 hours) before lying down or applying other hair products.

3. Frequency:

• Use twice daily for best results (ideally morning and evening) Consistent application is crucial.

4. Duration:

• Visible improvement may take 3–6 months.

Precautions

• Do not overuse: Applying more than the recommended dose does not accelerate results and may cause irritation.
• Avoid contact with sensitive areas: Rinse thoroughly if it comes into contact with your eyes, mouth, or broken skin.
• Do not wash hair immediately after application, as it can dilute the product.

Potential Side Effects

• Rare: Scalp irritation, dryness, or itching.
• Rare: Excessive hair shedding initially (a sign the treatment is working as new hair replaces old)

Who Should Use It?

• Effective for Androgenetic Alopecia, Telogen Effluvium and Alopecia.
• Works best for individuals with early or moderate hair loss rather than complete baldness.
• Not recommended for individuals under 18.
