About Dr Fox Dual Action Hair Growth Spray
Dr Fox Dual Action Hair Growth Spray has been developed to help reduce male pattern hair loss and stimulate new hair growth. This advanced formula is designed to produce thicker, longer hair, and more visible coverage, created specifically for men over 18 years old affected by hair thinning and hair loss. Once daily application means it is easy to use and as it is applied directly to the hair roots there is less risk of side effects from the medication.
What makes it special?
Dr Fox Hair Growth Spray is formulated with the following scientifically proven ingredients to help treat male pattern hair loss:
- Finasteride 0.3%: Reduces the conversion of testosterone to DHT, allowing hair follicles to reach their full growth potential.
- Minoxidil 5%: Increases blood flow to hair follicles, delivering essential oxygen and nutrients to stimulate hair regrowth.
- Tretinoin 0.01%: Enhances the absorption of minoxidil, allowing it to be applied once daily with optimal results.
Studies show that when minoxidil is applied to the skin, on average only 1.4% is absorbed into the body. This allows the medication to work directly where it’s needed on your scalp, and lowers the chance of side effects in the rest of the body. Applying finasteride directly to the scalp has been shown to be effective for male pattern hair loss in research trials, and the combination with minoxidil leads to better results.
When to start and what to expect?
Dr Fox Hair Growth Spray works best when used early in the hair loss process and with ongoing use. When treatment is initially started an increase of hair loss can be noted as the hair roots are being stimulated and move from the resting phase into the growth phase of the hair growth cycle. This is normal and evidence the medication is having an effect.
Here’s what else you can expect:
- 3 Months: Noticeable reduction in excess hair loss and the beginning of thicker, longer hair growth.
- 6 Months: Excessive hair loss typically stops, and significant changes in scalp coverage become visible.
- 1-2 Years: Maximum benefit with improved thickness, length, and overall hair health.
To maintain results, continued use is essential. If treatment is discontinued, pre-treatment hair appearance is likely to return within 3-6 months.
How it works
Hair loss in men is often caused by the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which prevents hair follicles from reaching their growth potential. Dr Fox Hair Growth Spray combats this process by:
- Reducing DHT levels: Finasteride limits the production of DHT, helping follicles thrive.
- Increasing blood flow: Minoxidil enhances circulation to hair follicles, delivering vital nutrients for growth.
- Boosting absorption: Tretinoin ensures maximum effectiveness of minoxidil.
Important information
Dr Fox Hair Growth Spray is supplied on prescription as an unlicensed “special” medicine. Always read the patient leaflet for instructions, possible side effects, and cautions for use. If you experience no improvement after 12 months, you may be a non-responder, and further use is unlikely to be beneficial.
