What Is Minoxidil?

Minoxidil is applied directly to the scalp and works by dilating blood vessels and potassium channels, improving blood flow and nutrient delivery to hair follicles. It extends the growth phase and is particularly effective for crown/vertex hair loss.

Common Questions

Does minoxidil work on a receding hairline?

Minoxidil works best on the crown/vertex. It is less effective for receding hairlines. For frontal recession, finasteride or dutasteride are generally more appropriate.
