FAQ
Why use topical spironolactone and minoxidil together for hair loss?
Topical spironolactone and topical minoxidil are used together to treat female hair loss (androgenic alopecia) because combined, they provide a dual-action treatment by reducing hair loss and stimulating hair growth.
- Topical Spironolactone: Blocks androgen hormones that can shrink hair follicles, helping to slow hair thinning and loss.
- Topical Minoxidil: Increases blood flow to the scalp and keeps hair in the growth phase longer, thickening hair and promoting new growth.
How do topical spironolactone and topical minoxidil work for hair loss?
Topical spironolactone
- Reduces androgen production: Spironolactone inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone to DHT, the hormone that contributes to hair follicle miniaturization.
- Blocks androgen receptors: It binds to androgen receptors on hair follicles, preventing DHT from exerting its harmful effects on hair growth.
Topical Minoxidil
- Enhances blood flow: By widening the blood vessels, minoxidil increases blood circulation to the scalp, ensuring that hair follicles receive a better supply of nutrients and oxygen.
- Prolongs hair growth phase: Minoxidil prolongs the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle, resulting in thicker and longer hair growth over time.
