What is Minoxidil?

Minoxidil is an FDA-approved hair growth treatment known for its ability to revitalize dormant hair follicles and promote natural regrowth. Initially developed to improve blood flow, it was later discovered to significantly reduce hair shedding and encourage thicker, healthier hair strands.

Types of Minoxidil

At Hairsthetix, we offer both topical and oral forms of Minoxidil, depending on your individual needs:

Topical Minoxidil

A solution or foam applied directly to the scalp for targeted stimulation.

Oral Minoxidil

A low-dose prescription tablet that enhances overall hair density and reduces shedding.

How Minoxidil Works

Minoxidil works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles, providing them with more oxygen and nutrients. This process helps:

1

Reactivate dormant follicles that have stopped producing hair.

2

Extend the hair growth phase (anagen) for longer-lasting results.

3

Encourage thicker and denser hair regrowth over time.

Note: Most patients start to notice visible improvement after 3-6 months of consistent use.
