Overview

Appearex is a medication used to treat hair loss. It is often prescribed for people with androgenic alopecia, also known as pattern baldness. Appearex contains minoxidil, a substance that helps promote hair growth. It works by improving blood flow to the scalp, helping hair follicles grow thicker and stronger hair. Appearex is available in liquid and foam forms and is applied directly to the scalp.
