Raw powder minoxidil is a potassium channel opener developed to control hypertension. In the clinic, the effect of reversing or slowing down baldness has been found. Therefore, it is now used to treat hair loss. The well-known company Viatris(formerly known as Upjohn) first developed and launched the topical solution containing 5% minoxidil for men and 2% minoxidil for women. It is sold under the name of Rogaine in the United States and Canada and Regaine in Europe and the Asia Pacific region. The market scope is large and the sales are increasing year by year.
Can minoxidil cure hair loss?

The mechanism of minoxidil promoting hair growth is not clear. It is generally believed that this product can make more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles by expanding blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which will promote hair follicles from rest to growth. The structural formula of this drug contains a nitric oxide group, which can cause hyperpolarization of the cell membrane. Now, continuous research is being carried out to finally find the determinants affecting hair growth.

For large-area hair loss, the effect of minoxidil powder is not very obvious. However, this product has a very significant effect on young men with hair loss within five years. After continuous use of minoxidil for 3 months, new hair can be seen. After 6-9 months of use of minoxidil, a significant hair growth effect can be seen. Clinical experiments show that minoxidil is generally used for more than one year to treat hair loss. However, if it is male hair loss, it needs long-term drug treatment, otherwise, it will recur. For temporary alopecia (such as mental alopecia), continuous use of minoxidil for one year can achieve a good therapeutic effect, and then the drug can be stopped in a scientific way. In conclusion, for the use of this product, please judge according to your hair quality and doctor's advice, and do not use it too much, so as to cause adverse consequences.
For the long treatment cycle, what impact will long-term use have on the body?
The side effects of minoxidil solution are generally allergic, such as the burning sensation in the eyes, itching, redness and swelling in the use area, pain, and hair growth in unexpected positions.
Before long-term use, it shows that these side effects have been overcome, so it is not the focus of this paper.

This paper focuses on the Crazy hair loss period of long-term use. Clinical experiments have proved that if used reasonably, the general side effects can be avoided. the Crazy hair loss period is also a normal physiological phenomenon and can be considered a good phenomenon. The hair falling out during crazy alopecia belongs to a kind of normal physiological alopecia. Only because the hair follicle accelerates the cycle after medication, the hair falls off in a large amount at a certain time, and only some withered, yellow, soft and other unhealthy hair falls off, which shows that the hair follicle responds well to minoxidil. If you use minoxidil for two to three months, there is no crazy loss period, and there is no visual effect of hair thickening, it shows that you are likely to lack a substance called sulfotransferase in your body, and you can't have better results if you use it again in the future. |
Don't panic during the shedding period, let alone give up halfway. First of all, it is very necessary to maintain a good attitude. Generally, we would suggest using minoxidil for at least 3 ~ 4 months to observe the effect, because the growth cycle of hair will tend to be normal after more than 3 months. At this time, the effect will be relatively stable, and we can basically see the effect in the fourth month.
