Tipo di medicinale

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

Funziona tramite

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.

Principio attivo

Minoxidil

Efficace entro

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.

Generico?

Yes

Effetti collaterali

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).

Dettagli del medicinale

Descrizione

Minoxidil 50mg/ml (5%) è un trattamento topico clinicamente provato per la perdita ereditaria dei capelli (alopecia androgenetica). Agisce dilatando i vasi sanguigni del cuoio capelluto, migliorando la fornitura di nutrienti ai follicoli piliferi. Questo rivitalizza i follicoli rimpiccioliti, prolunga la fase di crescita attiva del ciclo dei capelli e stimola la ricrescita.

Questa formula extra-forte è principalmente raccomandata per gli uomini che sperimentano un diradamento dei capelli sulla sommità del cuoio capelluto. L'uso regolare può stabilizzare la perdita di capelli e, in molti casi, favorire la crescita di capelli più spessi e folti.

Ingredienti

Minoxidil, propylene glycol, ethanol, purified water.

Effetti collaterali

Scalp irritation, redness, dryness, or mild itching.
Sometimes unwanted hair growth on other areas, or temporary hair shedding at the start of treatment.
Stop use in case of an allergic reaction or persistent inflammation.

Avvertenze

For external use only.
Do not apply to irritated, inflamed, or damaged skin.
Avoid contact with the eyes, face, and mucous membranes.
Do not use in women or in people under 18 or over 65 years of age.
Stop treatment if you experience severe redness, significant itching, pain, or swelling of the scalp.

Domande Frequenti

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.
