Prevent hair loss

Minoxidil was the first ‘main stream’ medication for hair loss and has proven an enormous help for many. It was originally developed as an anti-hypertensive i.e. it lowers blood pressure. It was taken for blood pressure in tablet form known as Loniten. As a side effect however, certain patients reported increase in hair growth. The pharmaceutical company who had developed minoxidil then conducted clinical trials using a topical lotion and from those trials minoxidil 2% (known as Regaine) was produced as a treatment for hair loss.

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.
