How It Works
HAIRMAX FORTE TOPICAL SOLUTION contains hydrocortisone, minoxidil, and tretinoin. Minoxidil, which is present in HAIRMAX FORTE TOPICAL SOLUTION, promotes hair growth by increasing the size of the hair follicle. Tretinoin present in HAIRMAX FORTE TOPICAL SOLUTION stimulates the hair follicles to grow by increasing their ability to divide and produce new cells (mitotic cells). Hydrocortisone present in HAIRMAX FORTE TOPICAL SOLUTION suppresses the inflammation and itching of the scalp by mitigating the release of chemicals that lead to inflammation, thereby maintaining the health of the scalp and promoting hair growth. Thus, all three drugs together not only promote hair growth but also manage hair loss in men.
