Minoxidil belongs to the class of medications that is called
vasodilators by experts and industry professionals and though it still it
cannot be said for sure how it triggers hair growth but Rogaine foam – the generic name under which it is
now available in the market is now being widely used for treating pattern
baldness in both men and women. As no specifically designed drug for treating
female pattern baldness was available women suffering from it were facing a
truly difficult situation. But with the introduction of Minoxidil for women they can now certainly breathe a sigh
of relief for this has been found to be more effective on women than men and
normally a 2% solution is approved by the FDA to be prescribed by the doctors.
Some of the best advantages of using Minoxidil
foam for treating pattern
baldness in women are:
- It not only helps in hair regrowth but also improves the thickness and texture of female hair
- It has been found to be successful for up to 63% women
- Effective for many different kind of hair loss in ladies except patchy hair loss
- As men are found to have more severe and noticeable hair loss than women Minoxidil is also found to be more effective on them than men
- In many cases, 5% minoxidil solution, which is actually prescribed for men shows better results
Though there are some small disadvantages but still this is the
best treatment for female pattern baldness now available.
