How Does This Product Work?

Kirkland Signature Topical Minoxidil 5% Extra Strength for Men Hair Regrowth Treatment is a topical liquid containing 5% minoxidil for use only on the scalp to help regrow hair in men. When applied to the crown of the head, the topical liquid stimulates the scalp area—specifically the deadened hair follicles—and promotes hair regrowth. The exact way Minoxidil 5% stimulates hair follicles is not known but it is suggested that the solution improves blood circulation to the scalp area.

Directions Of Use

1. Part your hair exposing the scalp where you’re losing hair.
2. Apply 1 mL with dropper 2 times a day directly onto the scalp in the hair loss area.
3. Using your fingers, gently massage into the scalp. Let it dry.
4. Wash your hands well.
5. Do not use a hairdryer to dry the scalp after you apply minoxidil solution. Blowing with a hairdryer on the scalp may make the treatment less effective.
6. Let the product dry for at least 2-4 hours, even before going to bed.

For best results, use 2 x per day.

See the enclosed leaflet for complete directions on how to use it. Using more or more often will not improve results. Continuing use is necessary to increase and keep your hair regrowth or hair loss will begin again.

Foam Vs Topical Minoxidil

Minoxidil comes in two forms: a liquid solution applied to your scalp using a dropper, and a foam that comes in a spray bottle. You can take minoxidil orally but this is less common.

EFFECTIVENESS

Research shows that both forms of minoxidil work well for stimulating hair growth and treating hair loss – in fact, no one option is more effective than the other and both medications have nearly identical effects on hair growth. From an effectiveness standpoint, you should get the same results from either topical (liquid) or foam minoxidil.

Where these two treatments really differ is their convenience levels. Both forms are simple to use – once you’ve applied either version of minoxidil to your scalp, you massage it into the skin and leave it to dry.

CONVENIENCE

With that said, some minoxidil users say the foam version of minoxidil is more convenient than the liquid one. Anecdotally, foam minoxidil users generally say it’s easier to apply, quicker to absorb, less dripping and faster to fit into a daily routine. Some users report the foam version absorbs into the skin in less time than the topical solution and therefore reduces oiliness.

APPLICATION

With the application, the topical minoxidil solution comes with a dropper for a more accurate measurement of minoxidil, while the foam version is dispensed from the can via a nozzle. Because the liquid version of minoxidil comes with a dropper, some users find it easier to apply to specific areas of the scalp. This may be helpful if you have long hair and need to apply the medication only to specific areas.

Some minoxidil users suggest the foam version is easier to apply to large areas of skin, and you might find foam minoxidil easier to apply if you have short or thinning hair that affects a large part of your scalp.

Precautions

For external use only. Avoid eye contact. Do not use if:

– There is no family history of hair loss
– Your hair loss comes on suddenly and randomly
– Your scalp is red, inflamed, irritated, painful or infected
– You are allergic to minoxidil, or have an allergic reaction during/after use
– You are under 18 years or over 65 years old

What Is Minoxidil?

Minoxidil is an antihypertensive vasodilator medication. It’s a formula that works to slow down hair loss and also promote hair regrowth. It comes in topical and foam products that are typically applied to the head twice a day. It can sometimes be taken orally when prescribed by doctors in Australia.
