Product introduction
At the moment, there’s a lack of evidence to pin down exactly how Minoxidil works to increase hair growth. But one prominent theory is that applying Minoxidil regularly allows more blood to flow to the scalp, providing follicles with more nutrients and oxygen.
Minoxidil belongs to a family of medications known as vasodilators, which are designed to widen your blood vessels. By improving the blood flow, Minoxidil is thought to encourage the flow of nutrients to your hair follicles. This can stimulate them to enter the growth phase of the hair growth cycle.
Minoxidil was actually discovered by accident after the medicine was given to severe refractory hypertension patients in the 1970s. It was only after these patients started to see abnormal hair growth around their bodies that experts realised Minoxidil could be an effective remedy to treat male pattern baldness and other forms of hair loss.
