February 2023 in “International Journal of Pharmaceutics” A new version of minoxidil, a hair loss treatment, was made using nanotechnology. This version, called minoxidil cubosomes, works better and causes fewer skin reactions than the old version. It also penetrates and stays in the skin better, promoting hair regrowth. It's safe and could be a good alternative to current treatments.
