The recommended usage guidelines for our alcohol-free Minoxidil Serum are to apply a dosage of 1ml, twice per day (i.e. a total daily dosage of 2ml), across any areas of the scalp which require treatment.
Each 1ml dosage should be split across all of the affected areas of the scalp, as opposed to 1ml for each individual area. The recommendation is to carefully apply the total dosage in very small droplets to the affected areas only, getting as close as possible to the skin of the scalp when doing so.
The product can be rubbed in after applying, however the solution will be absorbed into the skin of the scalp regardless. You can use your fingers or the dropper pipette provided to spread the treatment across the scalp (particularly if treating a larger affected area), but this is not essential. So you can either let the solution dry naturally, or rub/massage into the scalp - whichever is preferred.
As this treatment is designed to be used twice daily - morning and night - it is recommended to leave a gap of at least 8 hours between applications, in order to achieve the optimal spacing between your dosages.
You can apply this treatment either before or after you shower. If you are planning to apply the serum beforehand, it is recommended to wait at least one hour after applying before you shower, in order to allow the medication to fully absorb into the hair follicles. However, you can also apply it after you shower, to either a towel-dry or dry scalp.
One routine which may be convenient is to apply shortly after showering in the morning, to towel-dry hair, and then around 5-10 minutes before going to sleep at night.
