It may take several months before you notice any hair growth. The first growth could be soft, colorless, and barely visible. Use it in the exact dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor.

Benefits of Minfin Solution

In Treatment of Hair loss

Minfin Pro-10% Solution is a medicine used to treat common hereditary hair loss in men. It prevents further hair loss and helps hair to regrow. It increases blood flow to the hair follicles on your scalp, which prevents hair cell death and also enhances new hair growth. It also stops production of a hormone that causes excessive hair fall or baldness and also increases hair growth. It is most effective for baldness or thinning at the top of the scalp but less effective at the front or for receding hairline. Benefits are less likely if you have been bald for many years or have a large area of hair loss.

Minfin Pro-10% Solution is not suitable for sudden or unexplained hair loss. It is considered as a safe medicine. However, hair that has regrown may disappear after a few months. Regrowth of hair can be beneficial to your mood, self-esteem as well as your appearance, but you need to use it regularly to get the benefits. This product is meant only for men and should not be used in women.

How Minfin Solution works

Minfin Pro-10% Solution is a combination of two medicines: Minoxidil and Finasteride, which treats hair loss in men. In men, the balding scalp contains small sized hair follicles along with increased levels of a male hormone that is believed to cause excessive hair loss and retards hair growth. Minoxidil is a vasodilator, which means it widens the blood vessels and provides better blood flow to the hair follicles. This prevents hair loss and stimulates re-growth resulting in longer, thicker and increased numbers of hair. Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It blocks the production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth, thereby reversing the balding process and preventing further hair loss.
