Is this plan right for me?
Minoxidil topical spray is the most-used medication for men experiencing mild hair loss, with early signs of a receding hairline or thinning crown.
This plan is suitable for men aged 18-65 years.
Usage
The recommended dose is to spray 1ml/10 pumps twice-a-day – ideally in the morning and evening. Your hair and scalp must be dry when applying the spray. Spread the solution across the treatment area using your fingertips, then wash your hands.
As with all treatment, please read the product information leaflet that is included with your products.
Consistency is key. Keep up your routine to see the best results.

FAQs
How does Minoxidil work?
Minoxidil works by increasing blood flow and oxygen to your scalp, which helps to reinvigorate hair follicles that have been damaged by an over-production of the hormone DHT. DHT causes miniaturisation to hair follicles, which eventually leads to reduced blood flow and a lack of nutrients being delivered to the scalp. Using Minoxidil consistently provides a helping hand to your follicles, especially when used with other parts of our treatment plans.
How long does it take to work?
Minoxidil will get to work immediately after your first application. It can take around three months before you notice visible changes to your hairline. After nine months, Minoxidil should be working at its peak. The key to all of our treatments is consistent use - Minoxidil itself needs to be applied twice a day to those thinning areas on your scalp in order to produce results.
Is Minoxidil harmful to pets?
Minoxidil is toxic to cats and dogs when ingested or absorbed through the skin. Even small amounts can pose serious health risks to pets. There is no known “safe” quantity for exposure, as even minimal contact can be harmful.
We recommend restricting your pet's access to areas where Minoxidil is applied. Avoid allowing your cat into rooms or on furniture that might have been exposed to the product, and be particularly cautious with bed linens, clothing, or surfaces where you may have used Minoxidil.
Additionally, take care with loose hair or objects that may have come into contact with the product.

Please note the responsibility of the health and safety will lie with yourself and Sons cannot be held liable if your pet comes in contact with the solution
