Regro (2%) 60ml Hair Spray

Minoxidil, when applied topically as a 20mg spray, acts by binding to and activating specific potassium channels on cell membranes, particularly in the scalp area. This activation leads to hyperpolarization of cell membranes, causing vasodilation in the blood vessels surrounding the hair follicles. The increased blood flow to the follicles delivers more oxygen, nutrients, and growth factors, which promote the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. This mechanism is believed to enhance follicle size and increase hair shaft diameter, resulting in the appearance of thicker and fuller hair. Minoxidil's ability to prolong the anagen phase and potentially awaken dormant follicles is key to its effectiveness in treating hair loss and promoting hair regrowth.
