MCCM Minoxidil is used for many conditions associated with balding including male and female pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and even chemotherapy-induced alopecia. Studies show that Minoxidil promotes a rapid shift from telogen to anagen or a phase of hair growth in which the hair rests to the one in which it grows quickly. Such results consequently suggest that the agent actively encourages hair cell proliferation and patients report decreased hair loss and successful hair regrowth.
