About Sons Minoxidil 5% Spray
Sons Minoxidil 5% solution is a cutaneous spray for men experiencing the early signs of hair loss, such as receding hairline, or thinning of the hair in the temples or crown area.
Applied twice a day, it improves blood flow to your scalp, revitalising the shrunken and malnourished hair follicles that cause hair loss. The Sons unique pump applicator helps the formula to be delivered to your scalp rather than getting stuck in your hair, allowing for more effective application than a minoxidil foam or dropper application.
One 60ml bottle typically lasts one month, and visible results usually take at least 90 days. You can get the best value by choosing a three-month treatment pack.
How Does Sons Minoxidil 5% Hair Loss Solution Work?
Hair loss occurs when the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) binds to receptors in your hair follicles, causing them to become malnourished, shrink and eventually stop producing hair.
Sons Minoxidil 5% hair loss spray works by improving the flow of blood to your scalp, allowing it to get the oxygen and nutrients that your follicles need for healthy hair growth.
Over time, this can lead to thicker, healthier hair strands, a reduction in hair loss and, in some cases, the regrowth of lost hair.
How To Use Minoxidil
Apply 1ml (10 sprays) of Minoxidil to the areas of your scalp where your hair is thinning or receding. Massage the spray gently into your scalp with your fingertips.
Do this twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after applying Minoxidil spray, and make sure any residue is removed after applying.
Always use Minoxidil as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Make sure your hair and scalp are dry before applying Sons Minoxidil Spray.
Ingredients
The active ingredient is Minoxidil (5%), other inactive ingredients include water, ethanol (96%) and propylene glycol.
Side Effects
Like all medications, Sons Minoxidil spray has some risk of side effects. These are usually mild and temporary, and not everyone will experience them.
Common side effects may include headaches, a slight itching or rash, or a swelling of your hands or feet. Some people may experience an increase in the growth of facial or body hair. Regrown scalp hair may be a different colour or texture from lost hair.
It is common to experience an increase in hair loss in the first two to six weeks of using Minoxidil. This is nothing to worry about, and just a change to the hair growth cycle. The shed hair will grow back. If this hair loss continues for longer than two weeks, stop Minoxidil spray and talk to a member of our clinical team.
Rare side effects include faintness or dizziness, nausea, vomiting, itchy or irritated eyes, persistent redness or irritation of your scalp, chest pains, changes in blood pressure or fluctuations in weight.
In some very rare cases, people experience changes in behaviour, including anxiety and depression.
Talk to a member of our clinical team if you are concerned about any side effects.
If you experience any symptoms of an allergic reaction (including facial swelling or swelling of your lips or throat that makes it difficult to breathe), seek emergency medical care.
Warnings
This spray is only designed for external use. Do not spray this product into your mouth and make sure it doesn't come into contact with your eyes or other mucous membranes.
If you experience any allergic reactions including redness, itching or irritation of your scalp, stop using straight away and speak to a member of our clinical team.
Do not use Minoxidil on sunburnt, damaged or irritated skin. Avoid using Minoxidil on any area other than your scalp, as this can lead to excessive hair growth.
Minoxidil is not recommended for use by anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, or for those under the age of 18.
Due to its ethanol content, keep Minoxidil away from fire or flame. Store it at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Do not use Minoxidil after its expiry date.
Talk to a member of our clinical team if you're using other medications, especially any that you apply to your scalp, or if you have ongoing health conditions.
Keep in mind that hair regrowth is likely to be lost if you stop using Minoxidil.
What Is Male Pattern Baldness And Why Does Hair Loss Occur?
Male pattern baldness is defined as hair loss that is specifically caused by a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT attaches itself to your hair follicles, preventing them from absorbing the oxygen and nutrients they need to produce strong, healthy hair.
Over time, the follicles start to shrink, causing your hair to become thinner. Eventually, these follicles won’t be able to sustain your hair, and what you have will start to shed and your usual hair growth cycle will stop.
While DHT is a male sex hormone, women also produce it in smaller quantities. This means that some women will also experience thinning hair or a loss of hair on their scalps.
Sons provide topical and oral treatments, including Minoxidil, which can interrupt this cycle and help to prevent hair loss and create the conditions for regrowth.
How Does Minoxidil Work For Hair Loss?
Minoxidil works by stimulating blood flow to your scalp. This helps the follicles to receive the oxygen and nutrients they need to generate healthy growth. Over time, this can restore regular hair growth cycles, leading to a reduction or halting of hair loss and, in around 35% of cases, regrowth of lost hair.
How Long Does It Take To See Results With Minoxidil?
It can take several months for you to see a noticeable improvement, as it takes time for your hair follicles to adapt to Minoxidil. In the first two-to-six weeks of treatment, you may even notice an increase in hair loss. This is a good sign as it means that hair has been shed and new regrowth cycles have started.
In some cases, visible results can be obtained in three months but in most cases, it takes six to twelve months to see results.
Can Minoxidil Be Used For All Types Of Hair Loss?
Minoxidil is intended for the treatment of androgenic alopecia (hair loss caused by the hormone DHT). This is because your hair follicles are still present but no longer producing hair. It is not suitable for treating hair loss caused by scarring because the follicles may no longer be present within your skin.
Studies show that it can be used to treat hair loss caused by autoimmune disease (alopecia areata).
Can Women Use Minoxidil Hair Loss Treatment?
Yes. Because women also produce the hormone DHT, they may find that they experience a thinning of the hair on their scalps. Therefore, women may find Sons Minoxidil Spray an effective hair loss treatment.
What Happens If I Stop Taking Minoxidil?
If you stop taking Minoxidil, because the hormone DHT will continue to bind to receptors in the follicles and without the improved blood flow provided by Minoxidil, your follicles will continue to become malnourished, causing them to shrink and the hair they produce to become thinner.
Is Minoxidil Safe To Use With Other Hair Loss Treatments?
Minoxidil is usually safe to use with oral hair loss treatments. Indeed, studies show that Minoxidil can be particularly effective when paired with an oral treatment like Finasteride.
While Minoxidil restores blood flow to the scalp, Finasteride blocks the hormone that binds to the scalp to cause hair loss. Together, these can stop hair loss at the root cause while also nourishing your hair follicles.
Are There Any Age Restrictions For Using Minoxidil?
Minoxidil is only for use by people over the age of 18. This is because there is not yet the data available to demonstrate that it is safe or effective for people below this age.
How Often Should I Use Minoxidil?
You should use Minoxidil twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. Always apply Minodixil as prescribed by a member of our clinical team.
