Formula 82M is a custom made topical medication for men and women that acts as a hair follicle stimulator. In addition to having the active ingredient 5% Minoxidil, it also contains retinoic acid for enhanced penetration into the skin, a low-potency steroid to reduce redness and inflammation, anti-oxidants, an anti-androgen agent (to reduce DHT). It produced without propylene glycol (a common skin irritant found in over the counter Minoxidil and Rogaine). It is used by applying 20 to 30 drops on the scalp(not the hair) twice daily.
Once applied, it is gently massaged into the scalp with your fingers so it can reach the hair follocles under the scalp. It is recommended that you allow the Formula 82M sit on the scalp for 3 hours before wetting the hair (showering, excessive exercising) in order to maximize medical absorption.
It is recommended that you use this product for a minimum of 3 months to enhance hair growth.

What can you expect to achieve with Minoxidil?
Topical minoxidil has been researched for almost thirty years in hundreds of scientific studies involving thousands of patients with thinning hair and hair loss. Twice daily minoxidil has been shown to regrow hair in up to 85% of men and 60% of women. Formula 82M is an alternative to Rogaine and Rogaine Foam that provides an even greater penetration of minoxidil and the benefit of synergistic ingredients compared to the over-the-counter generic minoxidil or Rogaine without the common side effects.
Why Formula 82M?
Despite the hair growth properties of minoxidil, the over-the-counter Rogaine, Rogaine Foam or generic versions can often come with unwanted side effects like itchy scalp, scalp irritation, sticky and oily or greasy residues that interfere with hairstyling and more. However, clever compounding chemists have invented new ways to make minoxidil simply “work” better and leave less annoying greasy residue behind. After 82 different attempts at mixing minoxidil differently, pharmaceutical chemists working closely with hair loss physicians “discovered” the best formulation: Formula 82M.
How is Minoxidil Formula 82M applied?
It is recommended that 20-30 drops of Formula 82M should be applied twice daily to the entire scalp, focusing primarily in the areas of concern. For maximum effect, minoxidil should be spread evenly and allowed to absorb for at least three hours before showering, swimming or participating in heavy physical activity.
What areas are normally treated with Minoxidil Formula 82M?
Formula 82M will work wherever there are weakened hair follicles. Common treatment areas include the crown/vertex area (top of the scalp) as well as the frontal/temple areas. Minoxidil also prevents hair loss and thinning in the at-risk areas.
