Introduction
Hairecap 5% Serum should only be applied directly to the scalp area in the amount and in the way specified on the label or by your doctor. Clean and dry your scalp before using it. It may take approximately 2- 4 months before you notice any hair growth. The first growth may be soft, colourless, and barely visible. Using more than recommended will not speed up hair growth and may increase the likelihood of side effects. This medication must be used continuously to maintain hair growth. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsen after using it for 4 to 6 months.

How it works
Hairecap 5% Serum is a potassium channel opener. Its vasodilation action expands the blood vessels. Therefore, when it is applied to the scalp, it helps to increase blood flow. This increased blood flow provides more nutrition and oxygen to the hair follicles, which prevents hair cell death and also enhances new hair growth.
Quick Tips
Wash your hands before and after application. Do not shampoo your hair or use a hairdryer for 4 hours after applying Hairecap 5% Serum as it can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine. Take care that Hairecap 5% Serum does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth. During the first 2 weeks of application, your hair fall may increase. This is normal and is a sign that Hairecap 5% Serum is working.
