Many of these men would consider buying minoxidil because it is one of only 2 products that the FDA has approved for use as a baldness treatment. The other is finasteride which is marketed under the brand name Propecia and this is recommended for use as a balding treatment for men only. Minoxidil is the only hair loss product approved by the FDA for use by women.
So it makes complete sense before you buy minoxidil to treat your advancing baldness to look for an answer to the question does minoxidil work. And there is no clear answer, or the answer is yes and no. Clearly minoxidil works, if it did not work the FDA would not have approved it for use as a treatment for thinning hair. But it is also fair to say that not everybody finds that minoxidil works for them.
Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of minoxidil in cases of balding, for example in the April 2004 edition of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. There are 2 strengths that are available, 2% and 5% and it is generally thought, and backed up by studies, that the 5% solution is more effective, including for women even though it is only the 2% solution that is recommended for them.
However there are some more considerations to take into account when considering whether you should buy minoxidil. For example it is generally accepted that it works to restore hair growth on the top and crown of the head but has much more limited effectiveness on a receding hairline at the front. And you must also understand that even if minoxidil works for you you must keep using it were your hair regrowth will be lost.
And you must also understand that it is important not to discontinue use too early. It can take from 2 to 4 and anywhere up to 6 or more months before the results are noticeable and even if it’s working for you the results are not fast.
However it’s equally true to say that there is no hair loss product including finasteride that works for everybody, works all over the head and which works even after use is discontinued.
One very clever company has combined the use of minoxidil with a supply of essential hair nutrients to give users the maximum chance of minoxidil being effective for them. Even for men with male pattern baldness the reason they are losing their hair is to do with poor take-up of nutrients by the hair and so combining essential hair nutrients with minoxidil maximises the possibility of optimum hair health.
So what is the answer the question does minoxidil work? Yes it works but not for all and with some qualifications. However for any man or woman experiencing thinning hair it is well worth a try.
