    How does minoxidil work?

    When applied to the skin, minoxidil stimulates the growth of keratinocytes, these cells which constitute 90% of the superficial layer of the skin (epidermis) and appendages (nails, hair, body hair, etc.): it therefore promotes hair growth . When taken orally, minoxidil causes significant dilation of blood vessels and, in particular, arteries: it thus fights against excess blood pressure.

    You may experience swelling in your hands, feet, ankles, stomach, or face due to the salt and water retention that minoxidil causes. An unexpected weight increase of five pounds or more may occur due to water retention.
