A recent study carried out at a ‘Hair and Scalp’ center in Clearwater Florida reveals that topical CBD formulation has superior results to finasteride and comparable results to 5% minoxidil once-daily foam. Since the CBD works through novel mechanisms entirely different from finasteride and minoxidil, it can be used in conjunction with these current drugs and would be expected to have synergistic effects. Hair counts in the temporal area increased an average of 74.1% in men and 55.2% in women. In the vertex area the hair counts increased an average of 120.1% for men, and 64.9% for women. In general men did slightly better than women, and the vertex area did better than the temporal areas. On average there was 93.5% increase in nonvellus hair after six months of once-daily use. All subjects had some regrowth.
Impressive.
