Minoxidil is available as a brand medication and in generic form is a medication used for treating hair loss problems. It does not cure baldness but is considered an effective hair growth stimulator that slows down balding.

There are 4 ways in which Minoxidil Australia helps in hair growth

Reverses the miniaturization of follicles

Miniaturization of hair follicles occurs when hair follicles constrict and start making thinner hair in a fragile shaft that can easily fall out. Once miniaturization starts, it can progress to a point where the follicle sheds and does not grow back. Minoxidil reactivates the dormant hair follicles and prevents their shrinking to enable healthy hair growth.

Increases blood flow around follicles

Hair follicles derive their nourishment from blood that derives oxygen and hair growth nutrients. Vascular supply helps in growth, maturation and maintenance of the hair follicles through the hair growth life cycle. Minoxidil causes vasodilation of these blood vessels resulting in improved blood circulation to hair and consequently better hair growth.

Note: Unless you are sure about the efficacy of the medicine on your condition, buy only when a doctor’s prescribes you so. Else, such drugs can cause more damage than any good to your hair. Also make sure to go for an authentic online store while buying Minoxidil to rest assured of its efficacy. 

Helps improve the growth phase of hair follicles

Minoxidil as it's mechanism of action works as a SulfonylUrea Receptor activator and prolongs the growth phase by inducing cell growth factors like VEGF, HGF, IGF-1 and potentiates HGF and IGF-1 actions by the activation of uncoupled SUR on the plasma membrane of the dermal papilla cells. 

Extends each follicles growth phase

For extending the growth phase of the follicles, Minoxidil inhibits TGF beta induced apoptosis of hair matrix by opening the Kir 6 channel pore coupled with SUR on the inner mitochondrial membrane. It further increases the blood flow in dermal papilla through dilation of hair follicle arteries and opening of Kir-6 channel pore coupled with SUR on the plasma membrane of vascular smooth muscle cells.

That said the efficiency of Minoxidil can be further improved by following the instructions given below:-

How to increase efficiency of Minoxidil

- Regular use

Minoxidil yields favorable results on the hair growth of individuals. But you need to use them continuously and on a lifelong basis to increase its efficiency and get better results out of the medication.

- Proper Application

Minoxidil comes in two forms; as a topical solution and as foam. In both the applications oz is important to ensure that the hair is completely dry before their use and install the application in strategic areas of hair loss for obtaining more effective results out of the medication.

- Pairing it with biotin supplements

Along with regular application of Minoxidil solution twice over the scalp area with haiross, research has shown that consuming biotin supplements will enable better regrowth of hair. Users have observed improvements in as little as 2 months after combined use of medication. However, the results may vary depending upon any preexisting medical condition. 

- Scalp massage

Scalp massage works through improving blood flow to the hair follicle that nurtures them back to growth faster and makes it grow back thicker. Combining scalp massage and Minoxidil can allow penetration of the medication in an effective manner along with better results in a shorter time period.

- Addition of DHT blocking shampoo

DHT blocking shampoos are designed to improve hair growth by blocking the hair loss inducing dth levels in the system. Combined with Minoxidil, better results are observed in unclogging hair follicles and boosting hair regrowth.
