Description
Sons Minoxidil 5% Solution for Hair Loss
Men often find that their hair is thinning or receding. Most men aged over 50 will notice some form of hair loss, however, many younger men can also be affected.
Sons Minoxidil 5% Solution is used for the treatment of mild hair loss for men aged between 18-65 years. It can be used by men when they experience early signs of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) or a receding hairline.
What is Sons Minoxidil 5% Solution and how does it work?
The solution works by effectively increasing blood circulation to the scalp. It contains the active ingredient minoxidil which acts as a vasodilator. Vasodilators can expand the blood vessels in the scalp which stimulates blood flow to the area of affected hair loss, helping to promote hair growth, thicken hair follicles and reverse shrinkage.
The best results from this product are experienced by those who have been losing hair for a short time, compared to those who have more extensive hair loss.
This product should not be used by women.
