How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation is a specialized scalp solution containing Minoxidil 5%, Melatonin 0.1%, Finasteride 0.1%, and Tretinoin 0.05%. It is specifically designed to address various hair loss conditions such as male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium.

Minoxidil, a potent vasodilator, enhances blood flow to the scalp, thereby stimulating hair growth. It is typically applied directly to the scalp twice daily for optimal results. Melatonin, a hormone that regulates the body's sleep-wake cycle, is believed to contribute to hair growth by fostering healthy sleep patterns, which are crucial for overall hair health.

Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, functions by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone associated with hair loss. By blocking the production of DHT, Finasteride can help slow down or even halt hair loss. Tretinoin, a topical retinoid, promotes healthy hair growth by increasing cell turnover in the scalp.

This formulation is designed for direct application to the scalp twice daily. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider to ensure the best possible results. If you have any queries or concerns, do not hesitate to seek professional advice.
