YOUR HAIR LOSS QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
TREATING HAIR LOSS WITH MINOXIDIL
A topical scalp drop solution widely used to treat male and female pattern hair loss.
WHAT IS IT?
Minoxidil is a hair loss treatment widely used to treat male and female pattern hair loss. It begins working immediately but takes at least several months to produce noticeable results due to the timing of the hair growth cycle. It was originally an oral medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) but was also found to encourage hair growth on the face, body and scalp. This led to its topical use in treating hair loss. It is applied topically to the scalp on a daily basis.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Minoxidil works as a vasodilator, meaning it dilates (widens) blood capillaries at the site of application. This yields an ideal growth environment for existing hair follicles. Whilst its exact mode of action is still not fully understood, it works by decreasing the amount of time hair follicles spend in their resting (telogen) phase, as well as prolonging time spent actively growing (the anagen phase), leading to an increase in hair length. It can also help promote growth from dormant (kenogen) follicles. Minoxidil does not combat the effects of DHT on hair follicles, therefore it is most effective when used in combination with a topical antiandrogen.
EXPECTED RESULTS
Initial regrowth is typically seen after 3-6 months of use. It is important to note that
minoxidil is only effective whilst being continually used — meaning treatment must remain ongoing (and consistent) to maintain any results seen. Some people might notice some increased shedding in the first month of using minoxidil, due to resting (telogen) follicles being induced to shed their hair early and return to an active growth phase. However please be assured that these hairs will be replaced.
THE MANY CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS
Here our Trichologists cover the common hair loss triggers in men and women — from stress and diet to hormonal changes and genetics.
MPHL is caused by sensitivity in hair follicles to the androgen (male hormone) Dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
This is due to your oestrogen (the hair-friendly hormone) reverting back to pre-pregnancy levels.
Traction alopecia is caused by constant pulling on hairs from their follicles over time.
Most stress-induced hair loss will present itself anywhere between 6-12 weeks following a stressful event.
For breakfast and lunch, aim for a portion of both protein and complex carbohydrates.
Pattern Hair Loss is genetic and can be experienced by both men and women.
