Minoxidil 5% & Finasteride 0.1% - Topical Solution

How its work's
Minoxidil works by improving blood flow to the hair follicles, prolonging the growth phase (anagen phase) of the hair cycle, and stimulating hair regrowth. It’s believed to widen blood vessels in the scalp, which improves nutrient and oxygen delivery to the follicles.

Mechanisms and effects
1. Understanding Hair Growth Phases
- Anagen (Growth Phase): Hair actively grows from the follicle for 2-6 years.
- Catagen (Transitional Phase): Hair stops growing and detaches from the follicle.
- Telogen (Resting Phase): Hair remains dormant and eventually falls out.
Hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia, occurs when the anagen phase shortens and the telogen phase lengthens. Over time, hair follicles shrink (a process called miniaturization), producing thinner and weaker hair until growth stops entirely.
2. How Minoxidil Affects Hair Follicles
- Vasodilation and Increased Blood Flow
- Prolonging the Anagen Phase
- Shortening the Telogen Phase
- Anti-Androgenetic Effects (Indirect)
3. Key Effects on Hair Growth
- Increased Follicle Size: Minoxidil enlarges miniaturized hair follicles, enabling them to produce thicker, healthier hair strands.
- Stimulated Dormant Follicles: Minoxidil can “wake up” follicles that have stopped producing hair, encouraging new growth.
- Slowing Hair Loss: Consistent use slows down the progression of hair loss, particularly in areas like the crown and vertex.
4. Why Results Take Time
Hair growth is a slow process, and the effects of Minoxidil depend on the hair growth cycle:
- First Few Weeks: You might experience shedding as old, weak hairs are replaced.
- 3-6 Months: Initial signs of new growth appear as thicker, darker hairs.
- 12 Months and Beyond: Maximum benefits are typically seen with consistent use.
It’s important to note that results vary between individuals, and Minoxidil works best for those in the early to moderate stages of hair loss. It is less effective for fully bald areas where follicles may no longer be active.
5. Scientific Evidence
Several studies confirm Minoxidil’s effectiveness:
- A 12-month study showed that Minoxidil 5% users experienced 45% more hair growth compared to 2% users.
- It is FDA-approved for treating androgenetic alopecia in both men and women, demonstrating its safety and efficacy when used as directed.
