Regro (5%) 60ml Hair Spray

Minoxidil, when applied topically as a 5% spray, acts by binding to and activating specific receptors called sulfotransferases in the scalp. This activation stimulates the proliferation and elongation of hair follicles, leading to increased hair growth. It promotes the transition of hair follicles from the telogen (resting) phase to the anagen (growth) phase, resulting in the growth of new hair. Minoxidil also increases blood flow to the scalp, providing essential nutrients to the hair follicles, which further supports hair growth and improves the overall health of the hair. The direct action on the hair follicles and the enhancement of blood circulation contribute to the effectiveness of Minoxidil in treating hair loss and promoting hair regrowth.
