So far, Dr John Watts has performed over 2000+ hair transplant surgeries successfully. Jaffar asks: Sir, I want to know how much Minoxidil dosage is recommended for application on the scalp. How long does one need to keep it applied on their scalp for best results? Please explain. Minoxidil, a well-established hair medication approved by the US FDA, is renowned for its ability to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. However, questions often arise regarding the correct dosage and application duration. For many first-time users of Minoxidil topical lotion, questions often revolve around the correct dosage and the duration of application to achieve the best results. In this educational video, Dr John Watts sheds light on these two issues. In response to a query from Jafar, Dr John Watts offered some valuable insights. Typically, a daily prescription of 2 ml of Minoxidil is recommended, and it is crucial not to exceed this dosage. “For newcomers to Minoxidil, an initial prescription of 1 ml per day is common practice. After using it for 1–2 weeks and if it suits the individual, the dosage can be increased to 2 ml per day — 1 ml in the morning and another 1 ml before bedtime,” he explained. Regarding the application of Minoxidil topical lotion, Dr John Watts suggested that it can be left on the scalp overnight and rinsed off with water and shampoo the following morning. However, for those who prefer not to go about their daily routines with Minoxidil on their scalp, it’s perfectly acceptable to wash it off after a gap of one to one and a half hours. For this, Dr John Watts recommends that one needs to apply the lotion early in the morning to maintain a minimum gap of one hour to one and a half hours. While emphasizing the importance of consulting a dermatologist when determining the appropriate strength of Minoxidil to use, Dr John Watts informed viewers that Minoxidil lotions are available in various strengths, such as 2%, 5%, and 10%. “It is crucial to leave the decision of which percentage works best to the dermatologist’s expertise, as they can tailor the treatment to individual needs,” he advised. Conclusion: Minoxidil is an effective hair growth medication, but its correct usage, dosage, and strength should be determined in consultation with a qualified dermatologist to achieve the best results.
