Glossary Minoxidil 5% Foam

topical treatment to promote hair growth in androgenetic alopecia

Minoxidil 5% Foam is a topical treatment commonly used to promote hair growth and slow hair loss in individuals with androgenetic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness. It is applied directly to the scalp and works by stimulating hair follicles, potentially prolonging the growth phase of the hair cycle. This formulation, often branded as Rogaine 5% Foam, is particularly popular due to its ease of application and reduced likelihood of causing scalp irritation compared to liquid solutions.
