Minoxidil History

About Minoxidil

Minoxidil is the first and only FDA approved over the counter topical solution for *hair loss. Minoxidil is clinically proven to stop hair loss and stimulate hair growth in men and women suffering from thinning hair and balding. Minoxidil has been widely revered for the treatment of hair loss because of its effectiveness in delivering the results those suffering from hair loss desire. When applied, minoxidil is absorbed by the skin on the scalp and delivered directly to the hair follicles where you want your hair to grow back. With continued use, the minoxidil is clinically proven to *regrow hair on your bald spots and problem areas.

Minoxidil was the first drug that was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the *treatment of androgenic alopecia. Most people don't know that minoxidil for hair loss was actually discovered by complete accident! Initially used as an oral treatment for hypertension, minoxidil's main side effect was reversing male baldness and regrowing hair that was missing. After this was discovered in the 1980's, Upjohn Corporation jumped on this opportunity, creating the first topical minoxidil form in 2% consistency. Upjohn found that with continued use, minoxidil not only helped prevent future loss, but it also stimulated the hair follicles, resulting in hair growth.

Although minoxidil for *hair loss has been around for more than 20 years, the way in which minoxidil actually regrows hair is not fully understood. There are several theories surrounding minoxidil, the most popular one being that it acts as a vasodilator, meaning that it dilates blood vessels on the scalp. This then increases the blood supply to the hair follicles, which can enhance the supply of nutrients to the scalp, later regrowing hair. Research does show that minoxidil has been found to affect the cellular activity of hair follicles, resulting in a more rapid rate of hair growth.

Since its explosion within the hair loss community for its efficacy and results, minoxidil has been sold in various topical forms. From foam to spray, every product is used based on the user's preference. Minoxidil spray has proven to be a fan favorite because of its ease of use and virtually has no mess. The swivel head applicator of minoxidil spray delivers the minoxidil directly to your hair follicles with an even coat spread over your bald spots for maximum effectiveness.

It is recommended that oth men and women use a 5% topical solution. Both forms can be purchased over the counter without a doctor's prescription. Women are mostly recommended to use 2% minoxidil. This is due to the sensitivity women can have to minoxidil. However, if prescribed by a doctor and under their supervision, using a higher concentration can increase results in both men and women. The highest minoxidil percentage available is 12%, but is only used when a doctor believes it is pertinent for the results you desire

Which Minoxidil Application Method Is Best?

Minoxidil is the number one doctor-recommended, FDA-approved treatment for hair loss. If you're faced with symptoms of male pattern baldness, minoxidil is a safe, proven treatment option that allows you to address hair loss topically instead of with a pill.

Choosing minoxidil is easy when you consider its benefits, but you may not be as certain about which type to use. Today, there are three application options for minoxidil available, and each type has its own distinctive benefits and drawbacks. The options include droppers, foams and sprays. Read on to learn more about how each type is used and what its specific pros and cons are.

Dropper Application

Dropper forms of minoxidil were the first type to be sold. With this minoxidil application option, you apply a liquid topical treatment directly to your scalp with a medicine dropper. The biggest advantage of dropper application is that it allows you to administer the hair loss treatment right to the scalp. Unfortunately, using a dropper can be very time consuming, and it can cause messy drips. It is also hard to control how much you administer at one time, which can lead to wastage.

Foam Application

Foam minoxidil products were developed as a solution to the problems posed by droppers. This type of minoxidil comes in a can that creates a fluffy foam that is similar in consistency to hair mousse. You dispense the product into your hand and then apply it to the area of thinning. With a foam, it's easier to control how much product you use, and you can cover a large area in a relatively short period of time. The foam also eliminates unpleasant drips. Unfortunately, foam minoxidil is less likely to become fully absorbed by the scalp because it can cling to existing hair growth. This can diminish the effectiveness of treatment.

Spray Application

Spray-on minoxidil products are the newest application option available for men. The spray comes in a bottle with an applicator that converts the minoxidil liquid into a spray when you push the button. The fine mist can fully reach the scalp just like a dropper-administered liquid, and it dries very quickly with no risk of drips. You can cover areas of all sizes quickly with the spray applicator as well. Spray-based minoxidil formulas are gaining major popularity because they allow men to avoid the drawbacks of both foams and droppers.

Regenepure Precision Minoxidil Spray is the original minoxidil spray and allows you to get the full benefits of minoxidil *hair loss treatment without the hassles associated with foams and droppers.
