What Is Oral Minoxidil?
Oral minoxidil is a low-dose prescription medication originally developed to treat high blood pressure. At carefully controlled doses, it is widely used off-label to support hair growth.
It works by improving blood flow to hair follicles, extending the anagen growth phase, and promoting thicker, stronger strands.
Unlike topical formulations, oral minoxidil does not rely on scalp absorption and provides consistent systemic delivery.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be an appropriate candidate if you:
• Have diffuse thinning or early-stage hair loss
• Did not respond adequately to topical minoxidil
• Prefer a once-daily oral medication
• Are seeking a physician-guided, non-surgical treatment option
• Are combining medical therapy with hairline restoration surgery
Oral minoxidil may be used in both men and women depending on medical history. Candidacy is determined during consultation.
How Oral Minoxidil Works
Oral minoxidil increases blood flow to hair follicles and prolongs the growth phase of the hair cycle. Over time, this may reduce shedding and improve overall density.
Results depend on appropriate dosing, consistency, and medical supervision.
What to Expect
Administration: Low-dose oral tablet taken daily
Initial stabilization: 3 to 4 months
Best evaluation window: 6 to 12 months
Duration: Ongoing treatment required to maintain results
If discontinued, shedding may gradually return.
Consultation Requirement
Oral minoxidil is a prescription medication and requires medical evaluation before initiation.
At Newport Beach Hairline Restoration:

• Medical history and blood pressure considerations are reviewed

Oral Minoxidil as Part of a Complete Hairline Strategy
Oral minoxidil is often incorporated into a broader restoration plan that may include:
• Scarless FUE hairline restoration
• Finasteride therapy
• Scalp microneedling and regenerative treatments
Strategic combination therapy helps preserve native hair and optimize long-term surgical outcomes.
