99% Minoxidil Powder CAS 38304-91-5 for Growth and Development of Hair

1.  IntroductionMinoxidil was originally developed in the 1970s as an oral drug for the treatment of severe and refractory hypertension .
   Coincidentally, doctors observed hair regrowth and systemic hypertrichosis in balding patients, which led to the development of topical minoxidil preparations, which were first used to treat male alopecia and then for women.Minoxidil is a peripheral vasodilator. This means it widens blood vessels and increases blood flow to certain parts of the body.
   When minoxidil is applied topically to the scalp, it will relax the muscle walls of the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow to the scalp and hair follicles.
   This vasodilating effect allows more nutrients and oxygen to flow through the blood to the hair follicle, which promotes growth.
   In addition, minoxidil has been shown to have a proliferative effect on cells, thus promoting the growth of atrophied hair follicles.
2. Minoxidil effective time is generally more than three months, the first three months rarely see obvious effects, most studies show that local topical minoxidil usually takes six months to find significant effects (average response time is 6 to 9 months), the effective rate (hair growth or stop) can reach 50% to 85%

Common factors affecting the effect of minoxidil during use are:

• the drug time is too short: because the hair has a growth cycle, the hair from loss to growth, there is a three-month resting period, that is to say, the drug to promote the growth of new hair generally takes more than 3 months, all the courses here are very important, it is generally recommended to use more than 3 months to judge the effect.

•  the dosage is wrong: Minoxidil solution needs a fixed dose and a fixed time, it is recommended to use 2 times a day, 1ml each time, morning and evening, 1ml is about 6-7 spray, mainly in order to regularly stimulate hair follicles and promote new growth.
• incorrect usage: it is recommended that the liquid medicine needs to reach the scalp, and at the same time, it needs to be massaged for more than 3 minutes after spraying to dry and absorb the drug, rather than spraying a few times, because sometimes the hair blocks the liquid medicine and does not fully contact the scalp, which will also affect the effect. Do not wash your hair immediately after applying the drug, studies show that 50% of the drug is absorbed after 1 hour, and 75% of the drug is absorbed after 4 hours. Therefore, it is recommended to wash your hair after 4 hours of medication, and if you need to maintain your image, it should be maintained at least 1 hour before washing your hair.
•  living habits have not changed: although hair loss is a surface phenomenon, but it is closely related to the activity of various internal hormones and enzymes, staying up late, eating greasy, mental stress, etc., will affect the therapeutic effect, even if the use of the right way, bad habits have not changed, the therapeutic effect may not be ideal.
