Minoxidil was first
used exclusively as an oral drug to treat high blood pressure. It was found to
have the interesting side-effect of hair growth and reversing baldness. Since
1988, Minoxidil has been used for treating hair loss. The mechanism of action
for Minoxidil is not known, as no other vasodilator has been shown to be
effective in treating hair loss. Recently, researchers at L’Oreal found that hair
disorders cause psychological distress but are generally poorly controlled.
Minoxidil is very effective in frontal areas of the scalp, and also in the
vertex area in male-pattern hair loss. Typical use level is from 2 to 5% in
solution. Minoxidil is the only proven hair loss treatment available without
prescription.
Application:
In hair care formulation for prevention of
male-pattern hair loss and is effective in frontal areas of the scalp.
