Advanced Minoxidil Solutions for Hair Loss

It is recommended that you read the following information prior to commencing use of our advanced topical treatment for hair loss.

Usage:

 ● It is not necessary to shampoo before applying the solution. Apply onto a thoroughly dry and cool scalp and spread the medication with a clean, dry finger to cover the affected areas. Dosage of one ml should be used no matter what the size of the bald area is. Medication is to be applied twice daily (only to healthy intact skin: not on injured/ bruised / broken skin on scalp)

 ● You can use a hair dryer to dry the hair, but let the scalp cool down completely before applying the medicine. Do not use the dryer to dry the medicine and do not massage scalp after application. If you wish to massage scalp, do so before applying the medication. If using hairspray, gel ..etc allow half to one hour after application so the medicine has time to dry naturally. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure, including sunlamp during the use of this preparation. If using sunscreen, apply on the bald area one hour after using the minoxidil solution.

 ● The evening dosage should be applied at least one hour before bedtime. Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not wash or wet the scalp for four hours after application to enable the medication to stay on the scalp as long as possible.
