How long until I see results?
Whilst Minoxidil begins working immediately, results take around 3 months to become visible and a further 9 months to reach their peak. It’s important to note that some men will experience initial shedding when they first start using this solution, and whilst this can be concerning, this is actually a sign that the medication is working. Minoxidil improves blood flow to the scalp which can trigger your old hair to shed, but this should be replaced with stronger, healthier hair after 9-12 months of consistent use.
Why should I use this treatment?
You should use this treatment if you want a scientifically-backed solution to treat mild to moderate hair loss. Minoxidil is one of only two medications that is approved by the FDA as being effective at treating male pattern hair loss.
