What Experts Say

Dermatologists explain that Minoxidil works by widening small blood vessels in the scalp, which increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to hair follicles. This helps shift more follicles from the resting phase into the active growth phase, which is why visible results usually take several months to appear.

A five percent concentration is generally the preferred strength for men, since higher concentrations tend to produce a stronger regrowth response, while women are often advised to start with a lower strength to reduce the chance of unwanted facial hair growth as a side effect.

Consistent daily application is considered essential, since stopping treatment typically leads to gradual loss of the regrowth gained. Doctors also note that results vary by individual, and Minoxidil works best when hair loss is caught in its earlier stages rather than after extensive, long standing baldness has developed.
