“Minoxidil’s mechanism of action is believed to be due to an effect on the calcium channels in the hair cells,” explained Dendy Engelman, MD, a dermatologist at Manhattan Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery. “It increases the capillary blood flow to the dermis of the skin where the follicle resides to make them stronger and help regrow hair.”
