About Gainehair 5% Spray

Aminexil treats hair loss, promoting hair growth for those having the condition of alopecia. It increases the circulation of blood to hair follicles which triggers an increase in hair growth and also prevents the hardening of the hair shaft and the buildup of collagen around it.

It can be used by both men and women dealing with hereditary hair loss or androgenic alopecia. This medication does not have any side effects. It is not advisable to use hair cream products during the treatment period.

It has also been found that it may provide best results for those at the early stages of hair loss, while those at the later stages may see no results. Aminexil medicine is often used with minoxidil but in some cases, it can be used separately. Ideally, only two treatments in a year are adequate, with each treatment taking place over a period of 6 weeks.
