Despre Minoxidil si efectele sale
Minoxidilul este substanta activa continuta de produsele Rogaine. Rogaine este singurul produs aprobat de FDA SUA pentru regenerarea parului pierdut din cauze ereditare inca din anul 1998 cand a aparut pe piata americana. De atunci a devenit produsul numarul 1 in lume recomandat de medicii dermatologi pentru tratarea alopeciei (cheliei ereditare). Atestarea FDA este un proces dificil care necesita studii clinice indelungate pentru demonstrarea efectelor tratamentului. Este cea mai greu de obtinut si cea mai apreciata atestare pe care o poate primi un produs, fapt care confera siguranta clientilor spre deosebire de asa zisele produse minune care apar peste noapte si care nu sunt sustinute de studii stiintifice. Varianta Rogaine Foam este cel mai nou produs din gama Rogaine si cel mai eficient (cu 65% decat varianta lichida).
Rogaine cu Minoxidil 5% se foloseste pentru barbati deoarece concentratia mai mare de Minoxidil ar putea irita scalpul mai sensibil al femeilor. Pentru femei se foloseste solutia lichida topica cu Minoxidil 2%.
Efecte si rezultate:
Peste 85% dintre utilizatorii produselor Rogaine au rezultate exceptionale - caderea parului este stopata inca din prima luna de tratament si in cel mai scurt timp vor observa efectul de regenerare cand noi fire de par isi vor face aparitia. Noile fire de par apar sub forma de puf la inceput iar pe masura ce tratamentul continua acestea se vor transforma in fire de par sanatoase.

Topical minoxidil solution 2% stimulates new hair growth and helps stop the loss of hair in individuals with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Results can be variable, and historical experience suggests that higher concentrations of topical minoxidil may enhance efficacy. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this 48-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter trial was to compare 5% topical minoxidil with 2% topical minoxidil and placebo in the treatment of men with AGA. METHODS: A total of 393 men (18-49 years old) with AGA applied 5% topical minoxidil solution (n = 157), 2% topical minoxidil solution (n = 158), or placebo (vehicle for 5% solution; n = 78) twice daily. Efficacy was evaluated by scalp target area hair counts and patient and investigator assessments of change in scalp coverage and benefit of treatment. RESULTS: After 48 weeks of therapy, 5% topical minoxidil was significantly superior to 2% topical minoxidil and placebo in terms of change from baseline in nonvellus hair count, patient rating of scalp coverage and treatment benefit, and investigator rating of scalp coverage. Hair count data indicate that response to treatment occurred earlier with 5% compared with 2% topical minoxidil. Additionally, data from a patient questionnaire on quality of life, global benefit, hair growth, and hair styling demonstrated that 5% topical minoxidil helped improve patients' psychosocial perceptions of hair loss. An increased occurrence of pruritus and local irritation was observed with 5% topical minoxidil compared with 2% topical minoxidil. CONCLUSION: In men with AGA, 5% topical minoxidil was clearly superior to 2% topical minoxidil and placebo in increasing hair regrowth, and the magnitude of its effect was marked (45% more hair regrowth than 2% topical minoxidil at week 48). Men who used 5% topical minoxidil also had an earlier response to treatment than those who used 2% topical minoxidil. Psychosocial perceptions of hair loss in men with AGA were also improved. Topical minoxidil (5% and 2%) was well tolerated by the men in this trial without evidence of systemic effects.
