Minoxidil foam (for men) is a vasodilator. Exactly how minoxidil foam (for men) works to regrow scalp hair is not known. It may dilate blood vessels in the scalp. This may improve hair follicle function and stimulate scalp hair growth.

Minoxidil acts as a vasodilator and it increases function of hair follicle by increasing blood flow. Daily 2 ml application is indicated 1ml in morning and 1ml in night
