In sintesi

Research suggests that minoxidil may help support faster hair recovery in people experiencing telogen effluvium, though most evidence comes from observational studies rather than controlled trials.

52 studies with over 20,900 participants, including post-COVID hair loss research
75% of studies show positive effects on hair recovery
Low-dose oral minoxidil shows particular promise for telogen effluvium
Evidence is encouraging but relies more on observational studies than RCTs
