I know you probably will not reply, but thought I’d give it a try. Do the topical minoxidil plus tretenoin sprays actually get through the hair onto the scalp? I’m very interested in Lewenberg’s formula, but do not see how a hair spray can get to the scalp. I would really appreciate your opinion – someone with expertise. Thank you
The use of Retin-A with minoxidil is commonly used. Retin-A produces irritation of the skin, a sort of light burn which increases the circulation as the body tries to repair the burn. As a result, the blood supply to the scalp increases and any medications such as minoxidil (which is in Lewenberg’s formula) gets better absorbed. I do not like the burn effect and would rather use a higher concentration of minoxidil and even Rogaine Foam 5%, which also has better absorption. The use of a spray is impacted by any hair that gets in the way, so you have to apply the spray carefully, parting the hair so the spray gets to the scalp.
