FOLIGAIN® Minoxidil 5% Hair Regrowth Treatment
is for Men who have a general thinning of hair on the top of the scalp (vertex, as shown below). Our high-performance formula uses pure and potent 5% Minoxidil for a simple, painless, clinically proven answer to hair loss in men that works by awakening and revitalizing the scalp area—specifically the deadened hair follicles. It is clinically shown to help prevent hair loss and regrow hair in just a few months.
What is Minoxidil?
Minoxidil was the first drug approved for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (hair loss). Before that, minoxidil had been used as vasodilator drug prescribed as oral tablet to treat high blood pressure, with side effects that included hair growth and reversal of male baldness.
For the treatment of hair loss, minoxidil is available as a topical solution that is generally either 2% or 5% minoxidil in propylene glycol. The propylene glycol ensures that the applied minoxidil is evenly spread across the affected area and easily absorbed through the skin.
How does Minoxidil work?
Minoxidil topical solution is used to stimulate hair growth in people who are balding. The drug seems to exert its maximum effect at the crown of the head. The exact way that minoxidil works is not known, but it may stimulate hair growth by improving the blood supply to the hair follicles.
