How Does it Work

Minoxidil 10% Topical Shampoo works to treat Men’s Health - Hair Loss by stimulating hair follicles through an increase in blood flow. This shampoo works by increasing the amount of potassium channels that allow for an increased supply of potassium within the scalp. As a result, the cell membrane surrounding the hair follicles are able to hold in more moisture, increasing the thickness and length of each hair. This shampoo also helps to increase the volume of dermal papilla cells within the hair follicle, allowing the follicle to anchor more strongly, making the hair stronger and more resistant to shedding. Finally, minoxidil 10% topical shampoo helps to increase the expression of genes that regulate durative phases of the hair cycle such as the anagen phase, the part of the cycle where hair growth is produced. All of these mechanisms combine to result in a decrease in hair loss and an increase in hair volume and thickness.

Other Uses

Minoxidil 10% Topical Shampoo may also be used to treat other conditions related to hair loss, such as alopecia areata, a condition that causes patchy hair loss. Additionally, it can be used to treat telogen effluvium, which is due to a change in the normal hair cycle and results in hair thinning, as well as androgenic alopecia, which is the most common type of hair loss and is caused by genetic factors or hormonal issues. Furthermore, it can be used to lessen the effects of traction alopecia, which is caused by excessive pulling and tugging of the hair, and is frequently seen in individuals who have ponytails or braid their hair frequently. Finally, minoxidil 10% Topical Shampoo can be used to improve the appearance of scars, including those caused by burns, by helping to reduce their appearance.
