TLDR New minoxidil formulations improve hair loss treatment.

This review paper discusses the use of minoxidil, originally a hypotensive agent, as a topical treatment for androgenetic alopecia due to its side effect of hypertrichosis, which promotes hair growth. Although the exact mechanism of minoxidil in treating hair loss is not fully understood, it is considered effective in reducing hair loss and promoting regrowth. The paper highlights advancements in topical formulations, particularly the use of nanoemulsion and nanocarrier systems like nanoparticles and liposomes, which improve the delivery of minoxidil to hair follicles. These innovations aim to enhance the efficacy of minoxidil in treating hair loss.
