Holixia Solution

Formerly known as Podprog Solution

Providers and patients alike often face the complex challenges associated with alopecia, hair loss, or thinning hair. This condition and its symptoms affect both men and women and finding a solution can be difficult. Fortunately, SKNV’s Holixia Solution offers a promising avenue for patients to topically target their alopecia concerns, combining two active ingredients that work to promote hair growth and mitigate hair loss.

What is Holixia Solution?

Holixia Solution is a tailored topical medication prescribed by providers across the nation to address hair loss. This customized solution formulation utilizes a combination of two active ingredients that aim to facilitate hair growth and slow hair loss. 

Being a solution, its vehicle makes Holixia Solution unique as compared to its branded and generic counterparts, which only offer progesterone in oral and injectable form. So, SKNV’s topical progesterone in this formulation encompasses our dedication to providing unparalleled and convenient solutions to common skin concerns like alopecia or hair loss.

Holixia Solution Ingredient Profile

Holixia Solution offers a distinct combination of two active ingredients, which both play an important role in the hair growth journey for hair loss patients. These active ingredients include: 

  • Minoxidil is a topical agent often used in topical medications to induce hair regrowth and improve hair density. It aims to improve blood flow around hair follicles to stimulate and prolong follicle growth phases. 
  • This particular solution contains minoxidil at a potency of 7%. 
  • Progesterone is an agent that works to prevent the conversion from testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone associated with hair follicle shrinkage and hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, topical progesterone helps to promote hair follicle growth. 
  • This particular solution contains progesterone at a potency of 0.1%. 

One factor that makes Holixia Solution clinically different from branded or generic medications is this minoxidil and progesterone active ingredient combination. 

Additionally, while over-the-counter minoxidil is only available at a potency of 5%, SKNV offers this 7% potency of topical minoxidil, which also makes Holixia Solution unique.

Using Holixia Solution

Holixia Solution should be applied according to the exact instructions of the prescribing dermatologist. 

Typically, a prescriber might recommend that the solution be applied directly to a dry scalp, starting in the center of the hair loss area. Using the applicator provided, all patients should use their medication as instructed, as the dosage and timing of application varies per patient. Patients should not use shampoo or a hairdryer on their scalp after applying this topical solution. 

Patients should wash their hands directly after their Holixia Solution application to remove any excess prescription. Try to let the solution dry after application. 

For optimal outcomes, it is best to maintain a consistent dosing schedule. If you realize that you missed a dose and you are close to applying the next dose, skip the missed dose and apply regularly. Do not apply extra layers to make up for the missed dose. 

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience an allergic reaction (e.g., itching, burning, redness), if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding while using your minoxidil and progesterone combination. 

Potential Drug Interactions 

Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all current health problems and medications to avoid potential interactions before using Holixia Solution. This involves any supplements, prescription or non-prescription drugs (oral or topical), herbs, alcohol, and drug use. Follow your doctor’s exact directions about your medication usage.
