Sons 101: Minoxidil Explained

Hair loss is a common issue that most men experience at some point. For those seeking a solution, Sons offers a scientifically-backed treatment plan, including Minoxidil, a proven medication designed to stimulate hair growth and combat hair thinning.

 

What Is Minoxidil and How Does It Work?

 

Minoxidil works by increasing blood flow to the scalp. As a vasodilator, it widens the blood vessels, allowing more oxygen and essential nutrients to reach the hair follicles. This process revitalizes the hair follicles, making them healthier and encouraging hair regrowth. By counteracting the effects of DHT, a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink, Minoxidil helps in slowing or reversing hair loss.

How Long Does Minoxidil Take to Work?

 

Minoxidil begins working immediately, but results may not be visible for several months. Hair growth is a gradual process, with the hair growth cycle taking between 3 to 6 months to complete. It’s common to see some shedding during the initial stages, which might seem counterproductive, but this is a sign that the treatment is accelerating the hair growth cycle. The shedding occurs as old hairs fall out to make room for new, healthier strands. With continued use, visible improvement in hair density and thickness will appear, typically within 6 months or more.

 

Is Minoxidil Effective?

 

Yes, Minoxidil has proven to be highly effective. Clinical studies have shown that 92% of men experienced positive results with consistent use. Results can be even more impressive when Minoxidil is combined with other treatments like Finasteride, Biotin, and DHT-blocking shampoo, which form part of Sons’ Full Works hair loss treatment plan.

By using a combination of products that target hair loss from different angles, you’re more likely to experience significant, long-term hair regrowth.
