Medicine Description rehair 2%
Rehair 2% TOPICAL SOLUTION is a medication that contains minoxidil as its active ingredient, which functions as a vasodilator. It dilates blood vessels in the scalp, enhancing blood flow to hair follicles. This increased circulation delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to the follicles, thereby revitalizing them and promoting hair growth. Minoxidil also prolongs the anagen phase (the growth phase) of hair, enabling hair to grow thicker and fuller. The precise mechanism by which minoxidil stimulates hair growth at the cellular level is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve the stimulation of certain potassium channels and the activation of follicular stem cells, leading to improved hair regeneration.
