How Minoxidil Works

 Minoxidil is a medication that is used to treat hair loss. While the exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, it is believed to work by widening the blood vessels in the scalp and increasing blood flow to hair follicles. This increased blood flow can provide more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, which may help to stimulate hair growth and improve the overall health of the hair.

Minoxidil is thought to stimulate hair growth in both men and women by prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle and increasing the size of hair follicles, leading to thicker and healthier-looking hair. It is applied topically to the scalp in the form of a liquid or foam and typically takes several months of regular use to see results.

It's important to note that minoxidil is not a cure for hair loss and may not work for everyone. It's also important to follow the instructions for use carefully and speak with a healthcare provider before beginning treatment to determine if it is appropriate for you
