Does minoxidil work for female hair loss?
It's like ten years ago, if you had hair loss, it would be terrible news. There is no way to cure it. Now with drug treatment and hair transplantation, hair loss is no longer a headache. However, many people think that hair loss only exists in men. In fact, hair loss is not very friendly to women. According to statistics, 40% of women will experience hair loss in different degrees at different ages. Then the question arises. Besides hair transplantation, will finasteride and minoxidil have therapeutic effects on women's hair loss?
First of all, finasteride is not suitable for women, because finasteride is a specific product for testosterone; Minoxidil, approved by the FDA, is a very effective drug to prevent female hair loss. It is often sold in the market as local liquid solution, foam and spray.
The role of minoxidil is to make the hair follicle enter the growth period ahead of time, so that the hair follicle can quickly enter the resting and shedding stage before it starts to regenerate. The main role is to speed up the hair growth cycle, but we need to understand that human hair follicles will go through four different stages:
1. The initial stage of hair growth. This is the * * stage of the hair growth cycle. Hair will grow from almost invisible places to the whole body. This stage may last for several years.
2. Middle growth stage. At this stage, hair follicles begin to shrink and hair eventually falls off from the scalp.
3. Stages of quiescence. Also known as the "rest" stage, in which the old hair rests while the new hair begins to grow under the skin.
4. Dicotyledon stage. Also known as the "shedding" stage, this is when old hair begins to fall off and new hair breaks through the scalp surface to replace it.
In a word, minoxidil is very effective for both men and women, but it cannot cure female hair loss caused by all reasons. If it is caused by nutritional deficiency or the use of other drugs, minoxidil may not be a good solution.
