5% Minoxidil Topical Foam for Men: Hair Growth in Millennials – A Post Hoc Analysis

In a post hoc analysis of a phase III clinical trial, the efficacy of 5% minoxidil topical foam (MTF) in younger versus older men was examined. The study found that MTF, used twice daily, regrew more nonvellus hairs versus baseline, but this regrowth was reduced as age increased. Among the total group of millennials (aged 20-40) included in the studies, a slightly elevated increase in hair regrowth was observed when compared with the older cohort (aged 41-50). However, the difference in hair growth was particularly remarkable when comparing subjects in the 20-30 years age group with the 41-50 years age group. The study concluded that using the product earlier may improve outcomes in younger men who struggle with hair loss.
