GrowBack's Minoxidil 5%, Finasteride 0.25% and Tretinoin 0.01% Scalp Serum is a specially compounded liquid formulation designed for topical application to the scalp. This unique blend of active ingredients is dispensed in a dropper bottle for precise and controlled administration, ensuring targeted treatment for a variety of hair loss and scalp conditions.
Minoxidil, a potent vasodilator, works by increasing blood flow to the scalp, thereby stimulating hair growth. Minoxidil may stimulate the growth of human hairs by prolonging anagen through these proliferative and anti-apoptotic effects on dermal papillary cells (DPCs). Minoxidil, the second active ingredient, is a well-known vasodilator that has been proven to stimulate hair growth and slow balding. It functions by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which allows more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the follicle. This results in a revitalisation of shrunken hair follicles, increasing their size, and prolonging the growth phase of the hair cycle.
Finasteride 0.1% is a type of medication known as a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It works by targeting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that has been implicated in the miniaturisation of hair follicles, leading to hair loss. By inhibiting this enzyme, finasteride effectively reduces DHT levels in the scalp, which helps to halt the progression of hair loss and in some cases, may even reverse it by allowing hair follicles to regain their normal size and function.
Tretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A, is included at a 0.01% concentration. It promotes skin cell turnover and can help improve the skin's texture and tone. In the context of hair loss, tretinoin is believed to enhance the penetration of minoxidil, increasing its effectiveness. Supercharges Minoxidil to promote denser hair regrowth.
This powerful combination formulation is an effective treatment for a range of hair loss and scalp conditions, including male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and preventative hair loss.
