Minoxidil, originally developed to treat high blood pressure, is now best known as a topical foam or solution to stimulate hair regrowth. It improves local blood flow to dormant hair follicles, prolonging their active growth phase.
While not an overall anti-aging therapy, Minoxidil can help older men or women maintain a fuller head of hair. By boosting self-image and confidence, it indirectly supports quality of life as people age.
