Lääkkeen tyyppi

Topical vasodilator that stimulates blood circulation in the scalp and promotes hair follicle growth.

Toimii seuraavasti

Minoxidil works by stimulating blood circulation in the scalp and prolonging the hair growth (anagen) phase. This helps promote hair regrowth and slows hair loss associated with androgenetic alopecia.

Vaikuttava aine

Minoxidil

Tehokas sisällä

Hair growth is a slow process. Stabilization of hair loss may occur earlier, but visible new growth typically takes 4 months of consistent twice-daily use. Maximum effect is usually seen after 1 year.

Geneerinen?

Yes

Sivuvaikutukset

Headache, skin irritation (dryness, itching, redness, or flaking at the application site), unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body (if the lotion comes into contact with them).

Lääkkeen tiedot

Kuvaus

Minoksidiili 50 mg/ml (5 %) on kliinisesti todistettu paikallinen hoito perinnölliseen hiustenlähtöön (androgeeninen alopekia). Se toimii laajentamalla päänahan verisuonia, mikä parantaa ravinteiden kuljetusta hiustuppiin. Tämä elvyttää kutistuneita hiustuppeja, pidentää hiusten kasvuvaiheen aktiivista aikaa ja stimuloi uudelleen kasvua.

Tämä vahvempaa tehoa oleva valmiste on ensisijaisesti suositeltu miehille, joilla hiukset ohenevat päänahan kruunukohdassa. Säännöllinen käyttö voi vakauttaa hiustenlähdön ja monissa tapauksissa edistää paksumpien, täyteläisempien hiusten kasvua.

Ainesosat

Minoxidil, propylene glycol, ethanol, purified water.

Usein Kysytyt Kysymykset

How often do I need to apply it?

You must apply it twice a day, every day. Applying it more often or using more than 1 ml does not improve results and increases the risk of side effects. Consistency is more important than quantity.

Is this product suitable for women?

Generally, the 50mg/ml (5%) strength is recommended for men. Women are usually advised to use the 20mg/ml (2%) strength, as the higher concentration carries a higher risk of unwanted facial hair growth (hypertrichosis) in women. Consult a doctor if you are a woman considering the 5% strength.

Why does it look like I am losing more hair when I start?

This is a known phenomenon called "shedding." It often happens in the first 2 to 6 weeks. The medication stimulates hair follicles to shift from the resting phase to the growth phase, pushing out old, weak hairs to make room for new, thicker ones. This is usually a sign the treatment is working.

What happens if I stop using Minoxidil?

If you stop treatment, the positive effects will disappear. The hair regrowth you gained will likely be lost within 3 to 4 months, and the natural balding process will resume. To maintain results, continuous use is required.

Can I use hair gel or hairspray while using this lotion?

Yes, but you should apply the Minoxidil first. Allow the lotion to dry completely (which may take some time) before applying any styling products like gel, wax, or hairspray.
