Overview MX Gel
MX Gel, a vasodilator, stimulates hair growth in men experiencing androgenetic alopecia. Apply only to the scalp as directed by your physician or the product labeling, ensuring a clean, dry scalp beforehand. Visible hair regrowth may take 2 to 4 months; initial growth can be fine, light-colored, and subtle. Exceeding the recommended dosage won't hasten results and might increase adverse reactions. Continuous use is essential for maintaining growth. Consult your doctor if your condition shows no improvement or worsens after 4-6 months of use. Common side effects include scalp irritation, hypertrichosis, skin rash, and dermatitis. Accidental application elsewhere can cause unwanted hair growth; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs with eyes, mouth, or broken skin. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your physician. MX Gel is generally unsuitable for individuals under 18 or over 65, those experiencing medication-induced or nutritional deficiency-related hair loss, those with hypertension, or those using other topical scalp treatments. Individuals with cardiovascular disease or circulatory issues should consult their doctor before use.
