Description

15% minoxdil is topically applied product designed for treatment of male pattern baldness. It is suitable for most stages of baldness. It is mostly effective when initiated upon first signs of balding. Significant results are visible after 6 months of continuous usage. Along with regrowing hair, this product might also positively affect your confidence.

This product contains 15% Minoxidil, 5% Azelaic Acid, and 0.001% caffeine. The additional DHT blocker (azelaic acid), and follicle growth stimulator (caffeine) to 5% minoxidil makes this solution much more effective than minoxidil alone.

It is recommended to use this product twice a day with 8 hours apart between the two applications. It can be used in conjunction with other solutions (such as Minoxdil 5% and Minoxdil 15%)

Does 15% minoxidil work better than 5% minoxidil?

Two large scale clinical studies compared the efficacy of 5% minoxidil and 2% minoxidil, one for male hair loss and the other for female hair loss. In both studies (~400 subjects), people were either give 5% minoxidil, 2% minoxidil, or placebo twice daily.

Results after 48 weeks (~1 year) showed 5% minoxidil offered much better results than 2%, and 2% minoxidil offered better results than 2%. “In men with AGA (androgenic alopecia or male/female pattern baldness), 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 and women in the two clinical trials without evidence of systemic effects.

These trials clearly shows hair regrowth is dosage dependent. The higher minoxidil strength is, the better hair regrowth is.

Will 15% minoxidil give twice as much as regrowth of 5% minoxidil?
Most likely it won’t.

Will the higher concentration have higher side effects?
Most side effects of minoxidil such as scalp itchiness or rashes are not caused by minoxidil itself, but by delivery vehicles such as alcohol or propylene glycol. These sides effects won’t be increased.

The minoxidil caused side effects may be increased but should be well tolerated because minoxidil has to have a serum concentration of 20 ng/mL to have any hemodynamic or other systemic effect in the human body. Large clinical studies involved with thousands patients showed a 2% minoxidil solution resulted in 0.6 ng/ mL and a 5% minoxidil solution resulted in 1.2 ng / mL of minoxidil in the serum. So, there is more than a 16-fold safety margin from the use of 5% topical minoxidil, and 8-fold safety margin with the use of a 15% topical minoxidil solution assuming the serum concentration is doubled when the topical minoxidil is increased from 5% to 10%. In reality, the serum concentration should be less double. Thus the safety margin is more than 8-fold.
