How it works
Prolox Extra Strength 10% Topical Solution 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.

Do not shampoo your hair or use a hairdryer for 4 hours after applying Prolox Extra Strength 10% Topical Solution as it can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine. Take care that Prolox Extra Strength 10% Topical Solution does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth.
