Minoxidil Your Introduction.

Minoxidil, The Hair Regrowth Wonder Drug - Does it work?

The simple answer is Yes Minoxidil does grow hair on bald heads - but, as with all treatments - it does not necessarily work on everyone. Lets see how this remarkable drug can transform a head of thinning hair or baldness into a head of vibrant healthy hair.  Its so important that the scalp is kept loose and its blood supply must be rich, a treatment which succeeds through its ability to improve blood supply to your hair follicles, which is now proving extremley effective against baldness by arresting hair loss and promoting new hair growth was discovered in 1986 (Minoxidil). All that is needed is a simple topical application to the scalp of Minoxidil lotion (twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening). The solution containing the drug Minoxidil definitely induces hair growth in suitable cases.

The drug like many discoveries, was discovered accidentally. Several years ago in the USA, many people (mainly females) took a tablet for high blood pressure, the result of this was sudden growth of hair. Eventually a solution was formed that could be conveniently applied directly to the scalp to treat baldness and thinning hair. The result was the first breakthrough in curing baldness!

The success of Minoxidil will vary considerably, this is because our bodies are different and some people require more time to gain results than others. Minoxidil is ongoing and realistically one should use for a period of 12 months, as this should give ample time to see results.  

What is Minoxidil?
Minoxidil is a topically applied liquid usually found in pre-mixed solutions. Strengths vary from 2% 4%, 5% and now 6% formulations that can be used depending on the degree of hair loss, however Whyage offers you custom solutions with mixed formula containing additives and combination that may help to increase results. Minoxidil can be used by both men and women.

What is it used for? 
Minoxidil is primarily used to stimulate hair growth. It is not the same as a DHT inhibitor like Propecia, and does not work to stop the causes of hair loss - only to override them.

Minoxidil's Method of Action
Minoxidil is in the class of treatments called "Potassium Channel Openers". Its true method of action for is not completely understood, however it has been clinically proven that drugs which open Potassium Channels seem to stimulate hair growth.

What's in it?
Both forms for men and for women both contain the active ingredient Minoxidil, in a solution of alcohol (ethanol), Propylene Glycol (PPG), and water. Custom and generic solutions may have varied quantities of these ingredients.

Minoxidil Side effects 
Side effects can be minimized by keeping dosage to the recommended 1ml two times daily. The most common side effects are limited to itching, inflammation and redness at the site of application. These are typically uncommon and can be countered with skin soothing products like like Whyage specially formulated Scalp Lotion that has been produced by a leading Trichologist for Minoxidil users. Please see our Product Reviews home page for more information on these treatments. Another school of thought is to identify why you're having the irritation. You can try other versions that don't contain PPG, since this is what causes most cases of irritation.

Over-absorption of Minoxidil into the system can result in vision changes, chest pain, and fast or irregular heartbeat. Women who opt for the 5% or 6% version may experience additional unwanted facial hair growth.

How to apply Minoxidil 
Prior to applying, make sure the scalp is completely dry. Apply the amount prescribed to the area of the scalp you are treating.

It is imperative that you do NOT use a hair dryer after applying Minoxidil.
