HOW IT WORKS

Minoxidil works directly at the hair follicle and helps support the active growth—or anagen—phase of the hair cycle.

By supporting follicular activity and the environment surrounding the hair root, consistent use can help reduce the appearance of thinning, encourage new growth, and improve overall hair density and thickness over time.

The cream formulation allows treatment to be applied precisely to the areas where additional hair-growth support is needed.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Hair growth is gradual, so consistency is important. With continued treatment, patients may notice:

• Reduced shedding over time
• New hair-growth support
• Improved density in thinning areas
• Thicker, fuller-looking hair
• Support for crown and hairline areas
• Better maintenance of existing hair

Some patients experience a temporary increase in shedding when treatment is first started as follicles transition through the hair-growth cycle.

Visible changes generally develop progressively with continued use.

BEFORE YOU START

Before starting Minoxidil Cream, your provider will review your hair-loss pattern, medical history, medications, scalp health, previous hair treatments, and treatment goals.

Let your provider know about any history of heart or blood-pressure conditions, dizziness or fainting, scalp irritation or skin conditions, or previous reactions to minoxidil.

Also discuss pregnancy, breastfeeding, or plans for pregnancy before treatment.

Avoid applying the cream to irritated or damaged skin, wash your hands after application, and use the medication only as prescribed.

Prescription required.
