If you have realized that you’ve begun losing some hair, either on the crown of your at your hairline, you might be wondering what your options are.
Minoxidil is an effective way of fighting the signs of hair loss, but how does it work? And what can you expect when taking the treatment.
This article will explore Minoxidil in detail what you need to do and how the medications supplied by Sons can help.
What is Minoxidil?
Minoxidil is usually supplied in a topical formula that is applied to the affected areas of your scalp. Simply use the lotion twice a day with the bottle pump and you’ll see your hair progress.
The medication was initially used as a treatment against high blood pressure, but one of the side effects among people taking it was excess hair growing. Studies were then conducted onto how this formula could be refined to work as a form of treatment for hair loss.
It was discovered that, under the appropriate dosage and formula, men who suffer from hair loss could take the treatment specifically to fight these problems.
Side effects have occasionally been reported but they only occur rarely. These could include itchiness, redness, and rashes generally. If you experience any of these, stop taking the medication and they should disappear soon.
Sons has a range of products available in different plans that can work in varying ways and effectiveness to treat hair loss issues. Check out our range for yourself.
How Minoxidil works
The blood vessels on your scalp need the requisite level of oxygen and blood flow to grow healthy strands of hair. Minoxidil works well in achieving this, which should enlargen the blood vessels on your scalp. Wider blood vessels mean the nutrients and vitamins that your hair needs for a better environment to thrive in.
This revitalised scalp is the result of a lengthened anagen phase, where your hair will grow, and a reduced telogen phase (the resting period of your hair cycle).
The most likely reason you could be facing hair loss is because of your genetic makeup, something that is passed down your lineage. Other reasons could include stress, illnesses, or because of treatment you are having for certain illnesses.
It’s important to be patient and remember you won’t see results overnight. After 3 months, you could notice the first sign of the treatment working. The results will become more pronounced after 6 months, with the full effects of Minoxidil on display between 9 and 12 months.
Try not to skip any days of treatment as this can harm the success of your treatment. Bear in mind that you should continue taking Minoxidil even after you see the full effects because the same hair loss problems could reoccur soon after.
