How MINtop Eva Solution Works
Minoxidil is a potassium channel opener that causes vasodilation of scalp blood vessels, increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles. This enhanced circulation helps prevent hair follicle shrinkage and hair cell death, encouraging thicker regrowth and reducing further hair loss, particularly over the crown and top of the scalp.
Benefits
- Helps reduce progression of hereditary hair loss and promotes visible regrowth in men.
- Improves scalp blood flow to strengthen follicles and improve hair density over time.
- Most effective for thinning or baldness at the vertex and crown rather than a receding hairline.
Directions for Use
Use MINtop Eva Solution only as advised by your doctor or as stated on the label. Apply the recommended amount directly onto the clean, completely dry scalp and spread it evenly over the affected area. Do not use more than prescribed, as this will not speed up hair growth and may increase side effects. Apply consistently for several months to see noticeable improvement, and consult your doctor if there is no change or if hair loss worsens after 4–6 months.
Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and tend to improve as your scalp adapts, but seek medical advice if they persist, worsen, or if you notice any unusual symptoms. Accidental contact with other skin areas can cause unwanted hair growth where the solution has spread.
- Itching or irritation at the application site
- Hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth outside the treated area)
- Rash or contact dermatitis
Safety Advice
- Age: Generally not recommended in people under 18 years or over 65 years unless specifically directed by a doctor.
- Pregnancy & breastfeeding: Not recommended for women; may be unsafe in pregnancy and lactation.
- Medical conditions: Avoid use or consult a specialist first if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, blood‑circulation problems, or hair loss due to medications or nutritional deficiency.
- Drug interactions: Tell your doctor if you are taking medicines such as Procarbazine or other therapies that may lower blood pressure, as blood pressure monitoring may be needed.
- Scalp: Do not apply on inflamed, infected, sunburnt, or broken scalp, and avoid combining with other scalp treatments unless your doctor advises.
Quick Tips
- Wash your hands before and after applying MINtop Eva Solution and keep it away from eyes, nose, mouth, and broken skin; rinse thoroughly with cool water if contact occurs.
- Do not shampoo or use a hairdryer for at least 4 hours after application, as this can reduce its effectiveness.
- A temporary increase in hair fall during the first couple of weeks can occur and may indicate that the medicine has started working.
- Avoid allowing the solution to trickle onto your face to minimize the risk of unwanted facial hair growth.
- Use it regularly as advised; stopping treatment can lead to loss of regrown hair within a few months.
