Liposomes In fact, liposomes are not really an additive to minoxidil but are actually the medium in which the minoxidil is delivered. Liposomes are microscopic molecules which are made up of similar material to the cell walls. Minoxidil can be encapsulated within the Liposomes molecules which results in a far greater absorption through the skin tissue. This means that a lower concentration of minoxidil will achieve the same affect as higher concentrations because of the improvement in delivery. Finasteride Finasteride inhibits the production of DHT thus slowing or even stopping hair loss. It does this by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. Studies have shown that significant regrowth of hair in many people also occurs.

Female Hair Loss Perhaps surprisingly there is a strong connection between male pattern baldness (MPB) and the typical hair loss patterns seen in females. As well as having the necessary enzyme (5-alpha reductase) capable of forming DHT from the male hormone testosterone (everyone has both male and female hormones) a woman also has an enzyme called aromatise which converts some male hormone into a female type. This has the effect that much of the hair loss which would have occurred is reversed or prevented by the counterbalancing effect of this ‘extra’ female type hormone in the area of the hair roots. As a result it would be extremely unusual for a female to lose as much hair as, say, her brother, even though she may have inherited similar genetic information. 

Minoxidil with additives The main additives used by specialists are: Tretinoin (vitamin A) Known as Retin-A. This helps to prolong the Anagen (growth) phase of the hair growth cycle. Nicotinate This acts as a vaso-dilator, ensuring better absorption of the minoxidil.
