FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1) Do you need a prescription? No, Minoxidil is FDA approved and safe enough for over the counter medication without a prescription.

2) Does Minoxidil work for frontal baldness? The studies performed on Minoxidil were not for frontal baldness, meaning it has not been clearly established or proven for frontal baldness at this point in time.

3) How do I apply Minoxidil? Apply Minoxidil once in the morning and once in the evening using the provided dropper to the area on the scalp which is thinning or bald. See directions for specific instructions.

4) How does Minoxidil work? Minoxidil significantly increases the size of the hair follicles, therefore reactivating and revitalizing for a greater volume of the follicle, and an overall thickening and strengthing of the new hairs produced.

5) What if I stop using Minoxidil? If Minoxidil is discontinued, the new hair which has been regrown will be lost within 12 months, and the original pattern of hair loss will continue.

6) What is the difference between the 5% strength and the 2% strength? The Minoxidil 5% strength has been proven through clinical trials to regrow more hair in 45% of MEN then using the 2%. Furthermore, men have experienced faster results using the 5% strength over the regular strength.

7) Why can't women use extra strength 5% Minoxidil? The reason for this is simply because clinical trials show that there is no difference in hair regrowth in using the 5% strength over the 2% for women, this will only increase the possibility of side effects.

8) Who can use minoxidil? The Minoxidil 5% strength and above should only be used by men 18 years of age or older, who experience thinning of the hair or signs of baldness.

9) How does regular strength differ from extra strength Minoxidil? Extra strength contains 5% Minoxidil instead of 2%, which has been proven to grow back hair faster then the 2% strength. Results may be seen as fast as 2 months!!! It may also be more likely to cause scalp irritation and discomfort. See a doctor if this occurs.

10) Will Minoxidil work for me? The amount of regrowth is different for each person, not everyone will respond to the Minoxidil solution, however this is a very small percentage.

11) What if I miss a dose? Try to be consistent in applying the solution twice a day during the same times for best results. If a dose is missed, continue with your next dose, and do not apply an extra dose.

12) Can I use Minoxidil more then twice a day for faster and better results? No. The Minoxidil will not work any better or faster if you use more then the recommended dose, this may only increase irritation and side effects.

13) What kind of shampoo should be used while using Minoxidil? Any mild shampoo which is not medicated would be okay.

14) Can hair sprays, gels, mousses, etc be used on the scalp after treatment? Yes. Styling products can be used, however make sure to apply the Minoxidil first and allow for the solution to completely absorb, before using gels, mousses, or hair sprays.

15) Can my hair be colored or permed while using Minoxidil? Yes. This will not affect the regrowing capabilities of Minoxidil in any way.
