A phototherapy light cap is a flexible, generally hemispherical cap having a light source to supply suitable dosage requirements of current and future light therapies. The phototherapy light cap may also include a rechargeable battery source, a light source or an array of light sources, a light diffuser and an interface to a recharging source that may be a docking station. A phototherapy light cap may alternatively be an insert for any commercial head dressing, preferably adapted for convenient recharging. Combining the use of a phototherapy light cap with gelatinized therapeutic agents provides a suitable treatment technique for a scalp utilizing phototherapy, heat and any suitable combination of active ingredients such as minoxidil.

The present invention relates to continuous spray medications involving the scalp, such as minoxidil, finesteride, copper peptides, DHT inhibitors and androgen receptor blockers, for example, in an amount sufficient to stimulate or maintain hair growth. The scalp medication is disposed within a pharmacologically acceptable carrier solution. In further embodiments, the spray scalp medication is dispensed within a product bag containing the medication in liquid form. The product bag is disposed within a container and includes a sheet of gas impervious material having a barrier layer therein. A gaseous propellant is also disposed within the container and is substantially separated from the medication. The valve assembly is selectively operated to produce a fine mist of said medication which is non-chilling, continuous and even.

This invention relates to a method for achieving a novel solution comprising a high percentage of a piperidinopyrimidine derivative, more particularly minoxidil. The method of the current invention results in a highly effective solution for facilitating hair growth comprising a high concentration of Minoxidil, that is not cosmetically unattractive when applied to a treatment area and that does not cause skin irritation in the treatment area. In another aspect of the invention, said solution comprising high percentage Minoxidil may further comprise co-active ingredients, such as azelaic acid. The present invention also provides a method for stimulating the growth of hair or for preventing hair loss in humans and lower animals.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for topical application for the treatment of alopecia, said composition comprising polymeric nanoparticles, preferably nanocapsules containing two active ingredients, finasteride and minoxidil, additives and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The invention further includes a process for the preparation of polymeric nanoparticles, preferably nanocapsules of finasteride and minoxidil, a composition suitable for topical application for the treatment of alopecia, as well as the use of said nanocapsules for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition.

The invention provides natural composite anti-hair-loss hair-growing liquid for external use, belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine preparations, and solves the problem that minoxidil is added in a conventional product. The hair-growing liquid comprises raw materials of cacumen biotae, fresh ginger, polygonum multiflorum, safflower carthamus, angelica, broadleaf holly leaves, asparagus lettuce seeds, pseudo-ginseng and ginseng as well as auxiliary materials of sodium acrylate, azone and vitamins C. A clinical test proves that the hair-growing liquid has unique treatment effects for patients with alopecia seborrhoeica, alopecia areata, neuropathic alopecia, endocrine dyscrasia alopecia, nutrition metabolism alopecia and chemical alopecia; the hair-growing liquid is a pure natural extracted essence component, does not have the shortcomings of causing side effects, causing an injury to a human body, containing any chemical component, influencing hypertension and hypotension and changing blood pressure of blood vessels and blood flow, and has hair-growing and hair-blackening effects.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly safe composition comprising minoxidil and having high transparency due to the small particle size and high permeability into scalp and hair follicles. The present invention provides a protein nanoparticle which comprises minoxidil.

A topical administration carrier composition including water, glycerin and polysorbate, suitable for use with compositions containing active ingredients such as minoxidil that are susceptible to volatilization and transdermal penetration in application to the body. The carrier formulation retards the evaporative and systemic migration losses of the active ingredient composition, to provide sustained topical action, in relation to formulations lacking the components of the inventive composition.

A method for treating hair loss caused by androgenic alopecia and/or male pattern baldness. The method, which not only slows hair loss but causes hair re-growth, includes approximately daily application to a subject's scalp of a novel composition comprising finasteride (Propecia® or Proscar®), dutasteride (Avodart®), and minoxidil (Rogaine®) as active ingredients in a hypoallergenic cream-based vehicle, preferably coupled with daily ingestion of 1 mg per day of finasteride (Propecia® or Proscar®), application to the scalp of 5% minoxidil (Rogaine®) foam approximately once per day, and use of a ketoconazole-containing shampoo (e.g., Nizoral®) approximately 2-3 times per week. The method described herein also resolves scalp dermatitis in atopic subjects suffering therefrom. A method for making the novel composition is also provided.

The invention relates to a high concentration glycerol-type minoxidil tincture for treating alopecia and a preparation method thereof. The high concentration glycerol-type minoxidil tincture of the invention comprises components of minoxidil, alcohol, glycerol, water-soluble azone, acids, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid, arginine, cystine and water. Traditional propylene glycol is substituted by glycerol and water-soluble azone, so as to realize a minoxidil concentration of 5-15%, solve allergic problem caused by propylene glycol and realize a high minoxidil dissolving concentration; amino acids are added in the components to increase hair growing speed; when necessary, the arginine and / or sodium hydroxide is added with a pH buffer solution to stabilize a scalp pH at an optimum pH andavoid discomfort and hair shedding caused by pH change along with application of the hair grower. The invention employs a minoxidil step-by-step dissolving method with a short dissolving time to solve a problem of minoxidil oxidation during dissolving in a traditional technology.

A method and device for administering minoxidil and other topical solutions to the scalp. The method entails administering a minoxidil preparation through a manifold that fits over the scalp of a patient.

The present invention discloses one kind of cream for treating alopecia. The cream is prepared with minoxidil, stearic acid, glycerol monostearate, white vaseline, propylene glycol, sodium thiosulfate, disodium edta, etc. The present invention adopts propylene glycol as both solvent and transdermal promoter, and sodium thiosulfate and disodium edta as antioxidants to prevent the oxidation of minoxidil, so as to result in even high treating effect. The cream of the present invention has obvious treating effect, no irritation, no hypersensitivity, low cost and other advantages, and is used in treating different kinds of alopecia.
