Yes, in fact you will have enhanced absorption after shampooing, as a well-hydrated scalp is more permeable and will better absorb topical agents. Just be sure to towel dry the hair first to remove standing water. The only precaution is to be attentive to signs of excessive absorption, such as a racing heart.

The specially formulated New Generation Shampoo is very light lathering and thoroughly cleansing. Our shampoo purposely does not have unnecessary additives that create a lot of lather. Also, many of those additives may counteract the cleansing and moisturizing effects of the New Generation Hair and Scalp Cleanser/Conditioner. See similar questions...

As a general rule, medications are more readily absorbed when the skin is hydrated, but pharmacodynamic studies are performed with application to a dry skin. So the quoted statistics in regards to absorption apply to application on a dry skin. Our recommendation is to apply the minoxidil solutions to a dry scalp or to the scalp that is at least towel dried in order to avoid dilution. See similar questions...

Yes, but the additional benefits will probably be minimal, especially with the Xandrox 5% solutions, because the azelaic acid promotes maximum absorption of minoxidil anyway. See similar questions...

The method of application is not as important as an established routine. For optimum results, 1 mL of the prescription 5% minoxidil solution or 5% Xandrox solution should be applied twice a day. Using either the spray or the calibrated dropper, dispense a total of 1mL to the area(s) of the scalp of thinning hair. The fine mist sprayer dispenses 1 mL with four pumps of the sprayer.

No, but if you do choose to shampoo, use one that has a gentle cleansing and conditioning action that does not impede the absorption of Regaine? Regular Strength or damage new hair growth. See similar questions...

Each cream has ingredients (nutrients) that are different from each other cream. Your skin, as does any organ, benefits synergistically from a variety of nutrients. For example, 500 international units of vitamin E available from two or more ingredients would be better used by the cells than the same 500 IU of that same vitamin derived from a single source. Use more than one TVI cream to have your skin thrive even more from even better nutrition. See similar questions...

Both finasteride and minoxidil are treatments for hair loss that have been reported to be successful in growing new hair. Minoxidil has a 1 in 3 success rate for crown hair growth in men and finasteride reports a 2 in 3 success rate for new hair growth on the crown region. Even though finasteride may not work for all men, it is generally accepted as a treatment to stop further hair loss. See similar questions...

Incredibly most of us lose between 40-100 strands of hair every day as the hair reaches the end of its growth cycle. This is not as drastic as it sounds when you consider that the average scalp has around 100,000 hairs. The good news is that those hairs are not lost forever - once a hair is shed a new one begins to grow from the same follicle to replace it. See similar questions...

I avoid it. By that, I mean the type of seats that are bolted to the floor. For removable seats, like in minivans and SUVs, I almost always remove them if I can't clean underneath well enough without. But for bolted-in seats, I try to avoid removal unless the car has a super-huge mess underneath. The problems with removal are plenty-it's labor intensive, for one thing. And more importantly, if any of the seat bolts break on removal (typically from rust and age) you're pretty much screwed. See similar questions...

In 1988, Pharmacia Corp. (then Pharmacia & Upjohn) introduced the first FDA approved product proven to stop hair loss and to regrow hair. Since then Rogaine for Men and Rogaine for Women have safely been sold to millions of people around the world (known as regaine in some parts of the world) as an over the counter product (in the US). Rogaine is a topical solution applied directly to the scalp and is not taken internally (as with Propecia). See similar questions...

We are generally against the physician-based practice of combining Retin-A with minoxidil. The reason some doctors do this is to get around the law that prevents a doctor, who sells medication in his office, from marking up the price of an individual medication more than 10%. The doctor, however, has the ability to charge anything that he/she wants if he makes his own formulation. See similar questions...

No. That would be a waste. Pheromones must be applied directly to your skin, such as your neck, wrists to be effective. See similar questions...
