Maxogen-S
a topical product from MinoxidilMax
Maxogen-S by MinoxidilMax is a topical spironolactone product used for treating hair loss and acne. Spironolactone works by reducing testosterone levels, which in turn lowers dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, a key factor in hair loss. It also binds to DHT receptors in hair follicles, preventing damage. The product is suitable for both men and women and is applied directly to the skin. Clinical studies have shown that oral spironolactone can stabilize or improve hair loss in a significant percentage of users. Topical spironolactone is believed to be similarly effective, though no official studies have been published. Side effects are minimal, with a small percentage of users experiencing a rash. Maxogen-S can also be used to treat acne, with users typically seeing improvement within 2 to 3 weeks of continuous use.
