Like men, women can experience female pattern baldness, also known as Alopecia, usually shedding around 150 hairs every day. Sadly, when those hair follicles are lost or blocked, they take quite some time to re-grow. So, a priority is obtaining a hair loss treatment therapy as soon as possible.
Minoxidil is generally the first treatment used to try and help in halting hair fall. In some cases, it can even encourage new hair growth. However, there are certain drawbacks to using the medicine, which come in the form of a topical lotion or foam, for all genders but particularly for women.
How does Minoxidil treatment work?
Each hair follicle continues to grow approximately for up to 6 years before ceasing to develop, resting for some time, and finally falls out, only to be replaced by a new hair that grows for another six years.
With premature baldness, your hair cells shrink over a period of time. The thinner your hair is, the quicker it takes for your hair to grow. When hair strands break off, they are soon replaced with smaller, thinner hair strands rather than regular new hair.
Experts believe that Minoxidil works by prematurely putting the hair follicles into the Anagen phase, causing hair follicles to go through the hair growth cycle faster, stimulating growth of new hair.
Benefits of Using Minoxidil for Hair Loss
Minoxidil is thought to be one of the most effective treatments for premature balding or excess hair loss. It can be used individually or in combination with a hair loss shampoo therapy that increases oxygenated blood circulation to the hair cells.
Here are some of the key benefits of using minoxidil:
- Reduces hair loss or fall
- Hair cells are stimulated to produce new hair.
- Medically shown to provide benefits in around four months for females and two to four months for males.
- Increases the duration of the maturation phase of the hair cycle.
- Increases blood flow to scalp
