What is Topical Melatonin and What is it Used For?
Topical Melatonin is an antioxidant-rich solution used to treat hair loss by extending the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. It is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or shedding and works to protect hair follicles from oxidative stress, promoting a healthier scalp and stronger hair.
How Does Topical Melatonin Work?
Melatonin regulates the hair growth cycle by reducing oxidative stress on the scalp and hair follicles, helping to:
Prolong the anagen phase
Promote hair density and regrowth
Reduce scalp inflammation
How to Use Topical Melatonin
Apply 1 ml of the solution to the scalp once daily, preferably in the evening.
Massage gently into the scalp and avoid washing the treated area for at least 4 hours.
How Effective is Topical Melatonin?
Results are typically seen within 3 to 6 months of consistent use.
Possible Side Effects
Mild scalp irritation
Redness or dryness
Important Considerations
Regular check-ups: Your healthcare provider may schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
Missed dose: If you forget to apply a dose, do not double the next one. Simply continue with your regular application schedule.
