[Uses]: Minoxidil is a vasodilator for the treatment of hypertension, but its mechanism for treating hair loss is not primarily a function of dilating blood vessels. According to experimental research, in the in vitro culture of hair follicles, the addition of minoxidil can increase the growth time of cultured hair follicles. Hair follicles Hepatocyte growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor are the two major growth factors of the dermal papilla, which have important regulatory effects on the hair growth cycle. Lachger et al. reported that minoxidil upregulates vascular endothelial growth factor mRNA expression in dermal papilla cells. Therefore, it is believed that minoxidil stimulates, maintains hair follicle growth and prolongs the growth phase of hair follicles by the above cytokines, and promotes the development of miniaturized hair follicles and promotes the formation and function of dermal papilla blood vessels, thereby playing an important role in the treatment of hair loss.
