How to use our Minoxidil serum
Minoxidil is a topical treatment recognized for slowing hair loss and stimulating regrowth , particularly in cases of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).
Originally designed to treat hypertension, it has shown a beneficial side effect: the stimulation of hair growth .
How does Minoxidil work?
The exact mechanism is not fully known, but it works by:
-
Improving blood circulation : it dilates the vessels, nourishing the follicles and promoting thicker hair.
-
Prolonging the growth phase (anagen) : it allows hair to grow longer before falling out.
-
Reactivating dormant follicles : it stimulates inactive areas, increasing hair density and vitality.

-
Application : Apply the recommended dose (2% or 5%) directly to a clean, dry scalp using the pipette.

-
Frequency : Use the serum twice a day (morning and evening). Regularity is essential.
