New to Minoxidil? There is a guide in the encyclopedia. Read the guide → Studysummary This study found significant hair regrowth in male pattern baldness using 2% and 3% topical minoxidil solutions compared to placebo over a 4-month period. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of topical minoxidil for male pattern baldness over 12 months, involving 96 patients, with 79 completing the study. It compared 2% and 3% minoxidil solutions against a placebo. After 4 months, placebo patients switched to the 3% solution. Significant hair regrowth was observed in both minoxidil groups compared to placebo, with mean nonvellus hair counts at month 4 being 162.8 for the 2% group, 155.4 for the 3% group, and 107.1 for the placebo group. The 2% minoxidil group showed significantly more hair growth than the placebo group, while no significant difference was found between the 3% group and the other two groups.
