What to expect & when
THE FIRST 2-3 MONTHS
Due to the timing of the hair growth cycle, you may not see any changes in the first 2-3 months, but it is important to continue your treatment plan. Some men may experience shedding in the first month of the treatment, but this is only temporary and completely normal.
FROM 3-6 MONTHS
You may notice that hair loss has slowed or stopped and you may have spotted signs of regrowth.
PLEASE NOTE: Results may vary between individuals, based on factors such as age, genetics and level of hair loss.
AFTER 6 MONTHS
The rate of hair loss may have considerably slowed or stopped, and some men may experience signs of regrowth.
PLEASE NOTE: Results may vary between individuals, based on factors such as age, genetics and level of hair loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Minoxidil works by shortening the telogen (shedding) phase and prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair growth cycle. This ultimately helps to keep hair in place for longer and may promote new growth from dormant (kenogen) follicles.
Studies have shown that over two thirds of patients with male pattern baldness saw an improvement in hair growth.
Consistency is key with this treatment. 2.5ml should be applied to the affected areas of the scalp every day. We suggest applying this treatment at night before bed and shampooing the hair and scalp the following morning. Daily washing is imperative to prevent Minoxidil from building up on the scalp and reducing the effectiveness of the ingredients. We recommend shampooing with our Healthy Scalp Shampoo.
