How It Works
Minoxidil works as a vasodilator, enhancing blood flow and nutrient supply to the hair follicles. It reduces the length of the resting (telogen) phase, encouraging follicles to transition more quickly into the growth (anagen) phase, and extends the duration of that growth phase. This leads to thicker, longer hair shafts and greater overall hair density.
Spironolactone works by directly blocking androgen receptors and competitively inhibiting the binding of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and other androgens. By preventing DHT from activating these receptors, it reduces sebum production and helps prevent hair follicle miniaturization, key factors in managing androgen-dependent conditions like female pattern hair loss.
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is essential for healthy hair growth, particularly in individuals who are deficient in this nutrient. Biotin deficiency can lead to hair thinning and hair loss. Supplementing with biotin may support the production of keratin, the structural protein that forms hair, skin, and nails. In people with a deficiency, biotin supplementation can help strengthen the hair shaft, improve follicle function, and reduce hair breakage, contributing to the appearance of thicker, healthier hair.
F.A.Q
Q. How soon will I see results?
A. Consistency is key for achieving optimal results. Results may be noticeable within 3 months, however it may take longer to see the full effects.
Q. What if I miss a dose?
A. Just take it when you remember, unless it's close to your next dose. Do not take two doses on the same day.
