The premise of correct use of minoxidil solution is to choose the right product and the right dose.
At present, the safest content for use is 2% minoxidil solution, which is most suitable for women, because women are more sensitive to minoxidil. Of course, if you are using minoxidil for the first time, you’d better start with a low level of 2% and try to build tolerance, then increase to 5% minoxidil according to your needs. The dosage is usually 1ml, of course, this also has a lot to do with the area of use, if the area is relatively small, you can reduce the dosage.
Before using the minoxidil solution, make sure that the scalp is clean and fresh, and then apply the minoxidil evenly to the hair loss area. It is best to wear gloves when doing this to avoid the minoxidil solution getting on your hands.
When the liquid on your scalp dries, you can wait for it to absorb, which usually takes 6-8 hours, so you don’t need to wash your hair after using minoxidil. Just keep washing your hair at a normal frequency.
The mechanism by which Minoxidil works is not yet clear, but it does help hair growth by increasing blood circulation to the skin of the head and enhancing the activity of hair follicle cells. However, it is also important to know that minoxidil does not go beyond the natural hair growth cycle and takes effect in a very short period of time, usually 6-12 months, to achieve an increase in the number of regenerated hair follicles. Keep a timely record of your hair growth and adhere to long-term consistent use of minoxidil products, so that you can really see the hair growth effect of minoxidil.
Common combination regiments include minoxidil and finasteride; RU58841 solution is added to the minoxidil solution.
The use of instruments such as microneedles in addition to drug combinations is also helpful for absorption.
At present, the use and research of minoxidil are very mature, and the premise for achieving the best results is to understand what kind of products are suitable for them, follow the doctor’s treatment plan, and adhere to long-term use to achieve good therapeutic effects.
