February 2024 in “Journal of Molecular Structure” The new minoxidil and salicylic acid hydrogel improves alopecia treatment.
April 2023 in “Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology” The new minoxidil gel improves hair growth and reduces skin irritation.
February 2023 in “International Journal of Pharmaceutics” A new version of minoxidil, a hair loss treatment, was made using nanotechnology. This version, called minoxidil cubosomes, works better and causes fewer skin reactions than the old version. It also penetrates and stays in the skin better, promoting hair regrowth. It's safe and could be a good alternative to current treatments.
