Presentation at the 48th Korean Society for Laser, Dermatology and Hair Restoration Annual Meeting in 2024 - Hexagonal Topical Hair Loss Treatment: Minoxidil

Hello, this is Yonsei Bombit Dermatology Clinic.

On December 8, 2024, at the 48th Korean Society for Laser, Dermatology and Hair Restoration Annual Meeting held at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas in COEX, Dr. Choi Yoon-jin from our clinic gave a presentation. The presentation topic was "Hexagonal Topical Hair Loss Treatment: Minoxidil," and it covered the effectiveness of topical hair loss treatments represented by minoxidil and the advantages of the new formulation.

Key points from the presentation

• Effects of minoxidil

Hair growth cycle regulation: shortening of the telogen phase and extension of the anagen phase.

• Improvement in hair thickness and length.

• Problems with minoxidil use and how to manage them

Hypertrichosis: unwanted hair growth in unintended areas.

• Shedding: a phenomenon in which existing hair falls out during the initial period of use. The importance of consistent use was emphasized.

• Skin irritation caused by propylene glycol: side effects such as allergic contact dermatitis have been reported.

• Advantages of the foam formulation

Reduced irritation by removing propylene glycol.

• Improved convenience of use with a lightweight application feel and fast absorption.

• Improved patient compliance with treatment.

• Tricho-prime Technology

An example was introduced of using patented technology to enhance drug delivery.

• Increased effectiveness and improved safety compared with existing formulations.

• Clinical trial data

Results showing that minoxidil was significantly more effective than placebo in both men and women were shared.

• Synergistic effects were demonstrated when used in combination with oral finasteride.

This presentation highlighted the new possibilities of minoxidil treatment and provided time to present a safer and more effective treatment option for patients concerned about hair loss. Our clinic will continue to strive to provide the best care for our patients based on the latest treatment technologies and knowledge.

Thank you. 😊
