About PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION

PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION is a topical medication primarily used to treat hereditary hair loss, also known as male or female pattern baldness. It is designed to stimulate hair regrowth and slow down thinning on the scalp. This treatment is intended for individuals experiencing gradual hair thinning at the top of the head.

For the best results, you must apply PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION consistently every day as directed by your healthcare provider. Skipping applications or stopping the treatment will cause the newly regrown hair to shed, reversing the progress made. To support your hair health, consider eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minimising physical stress on your hair.

While PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION is generally well-tolerated, some people may experience mild scalp irritation, itching, or dryness. It is important to watch for these common side effects and consult your doctor immediately if you experience serious symptoms like chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or dizziness.

Do not use this if you have sudden or patchy hair loss, or if you do not know the reason for your hair loss. Before starting, talk to your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, blood pressure issues, or if your scalp is red, infected, or painful.

Using other topical scalp treatments alongside PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION can alter how it is absorbed, so always consult your doctor before combining products. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should talk to their doctor before starting this treatment, as its safety in these groups requires careful medical evaluation.

Uses of PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION

PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION is used to treat hereditary hair loss, also known as male or female pattern baldness. The detailed uses of PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION are as follows:

  • Hereditary hair loss (Androgenetic alopecia): PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION helps by revitalising shrunken hair follicles, increasing their size, and promoting the growth of new hair strands.
  • Thinning hair: PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION improves blood flow to the hair follicles on the scalp, which helps thicken existing hair and slows down the thinning process.

Key Benefits

PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION offers effective and targeted support for those looking to manage hair thinning and support regrowth. Here are the key benefits you can expect from consistent use:

  • Promotes active hair regrowth: It helps stimulate inactive hair follicles to enter an active growth phase, resulting in visible new hair over time.
  • Slows down hair thinning: By prolonging the growth phase of the hair cycle, it helps reduce daily hair shedding and preserves hair density.
  • Convenient local action: Since it is applied directly to the scalp, it works exactly where it is needed with minimal effects on the rest of the body.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
  • Clean and dry the scalp before application. Apply the prescribed amount of PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION directly to the scalp and massage gently to help absorption.
  • Do not apply to areas of the body other than the normal healthy scalp. It should not be used on inflamed, infected, irritated, or painful scalp skin.
  • Wash your hands before and after using PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION.
  • Do not shampoo your hair for 4 hours after applying PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION.

How PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION Works

PILOGRO PLUS SOLUTION contains minoxidil, which works by acting directly on the blood vessels in the scalp. It is a vasodilator, meaning it helps to widen these tiny blood vessels. This action improves the circulation of blood, oxygen, and vital nutrients directly to the hair follicles. With a better nutrient supply, shrunken or inactive hair follicles are stimulated to grow larger and stronger. This process also alters the natural hair growth cycle. It encourages hair follicles to move out of their resting phase (telogen) and transition into the active growth phase (anagen). This transition not only triggers new hair growth but also extends the duration of the growth phase, allowing each strand of hair to grow thicker and remain on the scalp for a longer period.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Focus on nutrition: Eat a balanced diet rich in proteins, iron, zinc, and vitamins (such as biotin and vitamin D) to provide the essential building blocks for healthy hair.
  • Avoid harsh styling: Minimise the use of tight hairstyles, chemical straighteners, hair dyes, or high-heat styling tools that can cause hair breakage or physical damage to hair follicles.
  • Manage stress: High levels of emotional or physical stress can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle. Practice stress-relief techniques like regular exercise or mindfulness.
  • Allow absorption time: Avoid washing, wetting, or swimming for at least four hours after applying the medication to ensure your scalp has fully absorbed the product.

  • Be prepared for temporary hair shedding in the first 2 to 6 weeks; this is a normal sign that the hair follicles are transitioning into a new growth cycle, but consult your doctor if shedding persists beyond this period.
