-5%
Xenogrow 5% is used to promote hair growth and slow baldness. It is most beneficial for persons under the age of 40 who have recently experienced hair loss. Minoxidil has little impact on thinning hair. It does not cure baldness; most new hair is gone within a few months after discontinuing the medicine.
Xenogrow 5% or Minoxidil can reverse the hair loss process of androgenetic alopecia by the following means: increase the diameter of the hair shaft; stimulate anagen growth; prolong the anagen phase; stimulate anagen recovery from the telogen phase.
As a peripheral vasodilator, Minoxidil enhances the microcirculation of hair follicles. The Vascular Endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is stimulated by Minoxidil and VEGF is presumably responsible for the increased capillary fenestration, indicative of a metabolic activity observed during the anagen phase.
