Introduction
Genetic hair loss is common, but it does not mean you have to resign yourself to going bald or wearing toupees for the rest of your life!

Minoxidil, also known by its brand name, Rogaine, is an FDA-approved medication that addresses hereditary hair loss by restimulating hair growth in the targeted region. It is applied as a topical solution or foam to areas of the scalp to reactivate dormant hair follicles and promote hair regeneration. With regular use, patients may see visible improvement in the density and texture of their hair over several months.
Many of our patients in the greater Philadelphia, PA region use Minoxidil for the following benefits:
Minoxidil benefits men and women alike who are struggling with hair loss. Dr. Castelli recommends Minoxidil treatments for patients who:
Minoxidil can be suitable for most patients, though it requires regular application for optimal results. Before committing to a Minoxidil regimen, Dr. Castelli recommends evaluating your scalp and hair loss presentation with a medical professional to determine the best way to regenerate your hair growth. Please schedule a consultation at either Lux Skin Lasers clinic in Bryn Mawr or King of Prussia, which serves the greater Philadelphia, PA region. Dr. Castelli will carefully evaluate your scalp and make recommendations as to the best course of action for your treatment and aesthetic goals. He will be able to design a Minoxidil treatment plan for you to follow so you can monitor your hair growth and understand if Minoxidil is delivering results.
When you begin your Minoxidil treatment, remember that results will take time and consistency. Minoxidil requires regular application, typically twice a day, to the affected areas of the scalp. The solution or foam should be massaged gently to absorb fully. It’s important to be patient, as initial results can take anywhere from three to four months to become visible.
In the first few weeks of treatment, you may experience some shedding of existing hair. This is a normal part of the process and indicates that Minoxidil is stimulating the hair follicles to enter the growth phase. As the treatment continues, you should start to notice thicker, healthier hair growing in the treated areas.
Throughout your Minoxidil journey, it is vital to follow the regimen consistently, as discontinuing use may lead to the loss of the newly grown hair. Additionally, some users may enhance results by combining Minoxidil with other treatments, such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy or low-level laser therapy. Dr. Castelli will guide you through your personalized treatment plan to ensure you are getting the most effective care for your hair restoration goals.
Ultimately, Minoxidil offers a noninvasive, low-risk option for regrowing hair and improving hair density. With ongoing use, you can expect noticeable improvements in the texture and volume of your hair, helping you achieve a fuller, more youthful appearance.
The cost of Minoxidil in Bryn Mawr, King of Prussia, and the greater Philadelphia, PA, area will vary depending on individual patient needs. The recommended dosage will depend on the extent of your hair loss and aesthetic goals. To fully understand how Minoxidil works with other hair restoration procedures, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Castelli at Lux Skin Lasers.
