Buy Son's Minoxidil 5% Spray
Son’s Minoxidil 5% spray can help with hair loss and stop your receding hairline.
The way minoxidil works is by increasing blood flow to the scalp, reactivating and revitalising shrunken hair follicles.
This product is recommended for adult men with mild hair loss who are experiencing the early signs of a receding hairline, or hair loss in the crown area (male pattern baldness).
How to use Son’s Minoxidil spray
It’s recommended you use Son’s Minoxidil 5% spray, twice a day – once in the morning, and once at night.
To use effectively, you should:
1. Make sure your scalp and hair are dry.
2. Spray 1ml (10 sprays) onto the areas where you’re noticing thinning or hair. recession.
3. Spread the solution across those areas with your fingertips.
4. Wash your hands after use.
When using Son’s Minoxidil, it’s important to protect the treated areas from sunlight (even when it’s cloudy) or ultraviolet lamps (UVA). Make sure to use SPF 50+ or cover the treated area to avoid any damage.
How long does Son’s Minoxidil 5% take to work?
It will likely take 6-8 weeks of consistent daily use before you can see minoxidil working.
Your hair may initially appear to thin when you first start using minoxidil, but don’t fear! This is the ‘shedding’ phase, and is actually your scalp making way for new, healthier hairs.
It’s when you get to the 12-16 week mark that you’ll then see peak hair growth.
If you’re worried about the progress of your treatment, you can always talk to your doctor or Chemist4U pharmacist.
