What is Minoxidil?

How fast do you get results from Minoxidil?
If you are going to use Minoxidil, it is important to be patient. Don't expect miracles within a few days, hair loss and growth are a gradual process. It may take 3 to 6 months before you see the first results. Some users of Minoxidil experience “shedding” in the first weeks of treatment. This causes old hair to fall out, so you seem to be temporarily suffering from extra hair loss. However, these old hairs make way for new, healthy hair. This is a normal part of the process and an indication that the treatment is working.
After consistent use of around 6 months, many users are starting to see a clear improvement. For most people, optimal results are achieved after 12 months. It is important to keep using Minoxidil according to instructions and consistently. Stopping treatment may result in loss of results achieved. The newly grown hair may fall out again, and the situation may return to how it was before use.
Minoxidil 5% vs Minoxidil 2%
A team of seven dermatologists and researchers has published a study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology where the effects of Minoxidil 5% and Minoxidil 2% were investigated. The conclusion of the study contains the following clear results. Minoxidil 5% was superior in effectiveness to Minoxidil 2%. For example, men who use Minoxidil 5% see 45% more hair grow back. Results are also more visible when using Minoxidil 5% vs Minoxidil 2%.
Can you use Minoxidil 5% to stimulate beard growth?
Minoxidil 5% can also be used to stimulate beard growth. Just like on the scalp, Minoxidil promotes blood circulation to facial hair follicles, activating dormant follicles. This leads to new hair growth and makes existing hair thicker and stronger. Using Minoxidil to stimulate beard growth is not new and many men have already achieved satisfactory results.
How to use Minoxidil
The treatment with Minoxidil 5% is very simple and can easily be incorporated into your daily routine:
1. Preparation: Make sure your scalp is clean and dry before applying Minoxidil. Wash your hair if necessary and dry it completely. The Minoxidil is more easily absorbed by your scalp and hair follicles when they are dry or almost dry. You also prevent the chance that you will dilute the Minoxidil very much due to water that is present in the hair and on the scalp.
2. Apply: Use the applicator to apply approximately 1 ml of the product evenly to the areas to be treated. 1 ml is approximately equivalent to 10 sprays.
3. Massage in: Use your fingertips to gently massage the product into the skin so that it is well absorbed.
4. Let dry: Ideally, let the product dry completely before using other hair products. This usually takes 2 to 4 hours. This is to prevent you from diluting the Minoxidil or getting it to areas that you may not want to treat.
5. Repeat: Repeat this process twice a day, preferably in the morning and evening. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after use to prevent unwanted hair growth on other parts of your body.
What are the disadvantages of Minoxidil?
While Minoxidil is generally well tolerated, there are some potential disadvantages and side effects to consider:
• Skin irritation: Itching, redness, or dry scalp may occur, especially in people with sensitive skin. This stops when you stop the treatment.
• Shedding: In the initial stages, you may notice increased hair loss. This is temporary and a sign that the treatment is working. Old hair falls out and healthy new hairs grow back in this process.
• Accidental hair growth: If the product gets on other parts of the skin, hair growth can also occur there. It is therefore important to always wash your hands thoroughly after application.
If you are very bothered by any side effects, discuss them with a doctor. Sit with Fellos our doctors always ready to give you advice during your treatment.
