Dear Lybrate user, minoxidil is used to stimulate hair growth and to slow balding. It is most effective for people under 40 years of age whose hair loss is recent. Minoxidil has no effect on receding hairlines. It does not cure baldness; most new hair is lost within a few months after the drug is stopped. Minoxidil comes as a liquid to be applied to your scalp. Minoxidil usually is used twice a day. Exceeding the recommended dosage does not produce greater or faster hair growth and may cause increased side effects. You must use minoxidil for at least 4 months, and possibly for up to 1 year before you see any effect. Our doctors always diagnose the scalp and hair type of patients. On that basis, they usually provide treatments like hair fast medical treatment. It is basically a cyclical vitamin therapy programme. It triggers hair growth through a balanced micronutrient environment. The therapy does not involve the use of any medicine, but the low dose vitamins. Excessive amount of vitamin a, e, omega 3 cause hair loss. Iron and calcium, if used on the same day, chelate each other and reduce efficiency by 40%. We avoid excess vitamins by spreading over 3 days. This treatment not only brings the roots of the hair to the growth phase but also strengthens it to the maximum to prevent excess falling of hair. Moreover, we are inviting you to avail our consultation assistance. This will help you to discuss this kind of issue with one of our senior doctors without missing home comfort.
