Product Description

Professionally formulated in an FDA certified Lab to ensure safety, purity, and premium quality. Our minoxidil products contain only high-purity pharmaceutical grade ingredients, and must meet rigorous quality control specifications before they are released. Minoxidil is FDA approved for the treatment of male pattern baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia). Clinical studies have shown that higher concentrations of minoxidil result in a significantly increased amount of hair regrown compared to lower concentrations. In a study conducted, the 5% minoxidil had 45% more hair growth then the 2% minoxidil in a 48 week trial. This is the same for the higher 10% and 15% strength topicals. The higher concentration help to recruit excess miniturized hair follicles not attainable from lower concentrated minoxidil products. Our topical minoxidil has also shown to be effective in treating hair loss on the entire scalp including the frontal areas, while Rogaine® has only shown to be effective on the crown (vertex) area. Azelaic Acid: Has been proven to be a strong inhibitor of the enzyme 5-AR( 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor Type I and II). DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is a by-product of testosterone, the male hormone. The scalp produces an enzyme known as 5-AR. When 5-AR reacts with testosterone, it is converted into DHT, which then binds to receptor sites on the scalp and follicle sending false signals to the functioning cells responsible for proper hair growth. This is the primary reason for damaged, shrunken follicles characteristic of MPB. Azelaic acid also has the ability to normalize improper growth of skin cells lining the hair follicle, leading to a reduction in the amount of hair shed on the scalp. Please note: The actual color of the solution is yellow since Minoxidil and Azelaic give a slight-yellow color when dissolved. Visit our site for more info, including 3 & 6 month discounts. Formally known as Perfect Hair Solutions, we have changed our name to Perfect Image Solutions.

This review is from: Perfect Image Men Minoxidil 10% & Azelaic Acid 5% Hair Regrowth Treatment 2 oz

Before I begin to comment on this product, let me start off by writing that I have no affiliation with Perfect Image Solutions. I am just a regular Amazon.com customer writing about the success I have had with this product. I am a 25-year-old male, and about the time I turned 19, I started noticing my hairline near my temples was receding and a diffuse thinning of the hair on my crown. I began using Minoxidil 5% (generic Rogaine) when I was about 20, experiencing ups and downs in the thickness of my hair ever since. In mid to late 2010, the 5% minox just was not as effective as it was when I first started using it. I had to find something stronger. I discovered Perfect Image Solution's 10% Minoxidil with the extra 5% Azelaic Acid this past January, right after I turned 25. I liked how this solution contained a DHT inhibitor. I had also purchased Regenepure DR shampoo to go along with the minoxidil. Regenepure DR - Hair & Scalp Treatment The minoxidil solution is yellow, as shown in the picture, and should really only be applied at night. I used and still do use about 1 to 1.5 mL each night before bed. In the morning, your hair will likely be hard and somewhat crusty. This is easily taken care of with Regenepure. After a couple weeks of use, I had started noticing positive results. My temples were filling in with tiny hairs I had not seen since high school. The hair on my crown seemed thicker, largely due to how thin it was the month before. Between January and June of this year (0 to 5 month range), I had experienced good weeks and a few bad weeks, but overall, my hair's thickness was pretty decent.

Suddenly, from June to August, I went though a major shed. I was losing over 100 hairs each day it seemed. My scalp was never so visible before. I didn't know whether I came across a bad bottle or the effectiveness of this solution simply had reached a plateau. After some research on the hair growth process, I learned that it was just a shed similar to telogen effluvium, since the fallen hairs contained white bulbs at the ends. Some fallen hairs were really thick, which scared me, and others were very thin, which made me think the solution was working. I rode these summer months out, and even started using Toppik to cover my scalp. Toppik Hair Building Fiber Medium Brown 0.87 oz. Without Toppik, it would have looked like I had aged at least 5 years in one month. Since the beginning of October- the nine month mark, the shedding has slowed down drastically, and my hair is tremendously thicker than it was during this past summer. I am not sure if it is as thick and healthy looking as it was when I was in high school, but as these new tiny hairs that are starting cover my scalp continue to grow out and after a few more hair cuts, I think my hair might be restored to where it was originally. I am definitely encouraged, to say the least. There is a reason why the product's box advises users to wait a full year to see any true positive results.

If you decide to go ahead with Perfect Image Solution's higher-strength minoxidil treatments, please...PLEASE... give it time! The worst thing you could do during the shedding months is to stop using the treatment. Ride out the storm like I did, and you will be glad you did! If you're in a similar situation with diffuse thinning hair, and you wondering whether to do something before it gets worse, it is easier to regrow and restore your hair now before you actually do have balding spots. In three more months, I will have been using this product for a full year, and I am excited to see my hair's appearance at that point! Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars it seems to be working....., December 31, 2009

I've been using this for about a month and seems to be working. I've noticed some new thicker hair growth even near my hair line. It is very easy to apply, dries quickly and does not smell nor stains which is a major plus compared to other products. However, it dries my hair and scalp to a point that I cannot apply it and go so I put it on at night and rinse it off in the morning. It would be perfect otherwise although it seems to early to see how effective it really is.

5.0 out of 5 stars fda ban!! beyond ridiculous!!, January 24, 2012

This review is from: Perfect Image Men Minoxidil 10% & Azelaic Acid 5% Hair Regrowth Treatment 2 oz

this product and 15% concentrations of minoxidil have been banned by the oh so wonderful fda. with all the crazy products that ARE harmful to the public out there they decide to target a great product that actually WORKS and HELPS people!! i think anyone using these products is over the age of consent and able to decide if a product is "dangerous" or not to them and should be left to make their own decision. google the absurd reasoning for their banning of 15% minox. 1 reason is it might make your scalp more susceptible to "SUNBURN" WHAT?!?!?! oh the horror! true story used 15% minox twice a day all summer long and on a 2 week trip to the virgin islands where i spent all day every day on the beach and no sunburns on scalp or anywhere else.fda approved finasteride - side effect : impotence and testicular pain! yeah that sounds nice! in all the hundreds of reviews that i read about 15% minox positive and negative(mostly positive!)not once did i come across a review that was neg that stated anything other than it didn't work or complaints about the same exact side effects that you'd experience upon beginning 5% minox. NOTHING about sunburns or systemic issues. if anybody got a sunburn TRY SUNBLOCK! then again take a look at the chemical ingredients on the back of a bottle of sunblock and try to pronounce the names. i've got it! ban spf's and people just stay in the shade. beyond ridiculous doesn't even scratch the surface of these explanations. not one reason they've listed would make 15% anymore harmful than 5% minox or a thousand other products out there, on the shelves of your local supermarket. could $ be a motivating factor?? hmmm? don't know, just saying! the reason why there are so many favorable reviews for higher percentage minoxidil is because it ACTUALLY works and 5% simply doesn't. what a joke!
