Minoxidil Foam Hair Loss Treatment

Fighting Pattern Baldness with Minoxidil Foam

Minoxidil foam is a popular product that is used to prevent pattern baldness as well as to promote healthy regrowth of lost hair. The effectiveness of minoxidil is scientifically proven, and it's a commonly available product. eBay is a great place to see and compare a wide range of minoxidil foam-based products produced by well-known pharmaceutical brands and companies such as Regaine, Qgain, Kirkland, Cipla, and others.

It usually takes at least three or four months to begin to see results with any minoxidil product. After six months you should see a significant improvement as the treatment reaches its full potential. Some people take longer than others to experience the hair-restoring properties of foam-based minoxidil treatments, so don't be discouraged from using it if you don't see results as quickly as you expect.

Yes, but because of the greater prevalence of male pattern baldness, most minoxidil products are designed for men. However, as a look at the listings displayd on eBay will show you, there are also plenty of minoxidil foam products available for women. Those are specially formulated to treat hair loss around the crown and thinning of the hair associated with female pattern baldness.

Yes, minoxidil is a drug that is licensed in the UK as a treatment for pattern baldness. No prescription is required, and it's completely safe if you use it as directed by the product's supplied instructions. Minoxidil foam products for men typically contain 5% minoxidil while those for women contain 2% of minoxidil. Minoxidil is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18. That's because hair loss in young people is very unlikely to be pattern baldness but another hair-loss condition requiring professional medical advice or treatment.

To ensure the best possible results of any minoxidil foam product, you should keep the following points in mind:

• Correct usage: Always follow the instructions that are supplied with the product.
• Continued usage: Minoxidil foam should be used on an ongoing basis. If you stop using it for any length of time, hair loss is likely to recur.
• Application: Wash your hands before and after applying the foam to your scalp, and make sure you let it dry before you apply any styling or other hair-care products such as colouring.
