Hairloss
Q) How long does it take for Minoxidil to work?
A) Whether on its own or with an additive, Minoxidil typically takes between 4 and 6 months to achieve hair regrowth. Therefore, there is no point in trying a 3 month course and then stopping. It is important to continue for 6 months. If nothing happens by then it is probably best to stop or try another product.
Oral finasteride is prescribed in tablet form – the correct dosage for the treatment of hair loss being 1mg per day.
Some specialists suggest that finasteride applied in solution as a topical liquid, either on its own or in conjunction with minoxidil, can have a beneficial effect in reducing DHT levels in the scalp and hence slowing hair loss.
Q) Can lotions be guaranteed to work?
A) No, but it is possible to give a good indication of how likely they are to work for a particular individual . In general, lotions work best on thinned areas rather than completely bald areas. The most widely used lotion is Minoxidil - either in its generic form or as Regaine/Rogaine. This substance has proven itself over many years to be an effective aid to both hair growth and in slowing hair loss. It is becoming increasingly well documented that certain additives appear to enhance the effectiveness of minoxidil or have a direct beneficial effect in their own right
