What is REGAINE® and how does it work?

REGAINE Extra Strength Foam 5% is a treatment designed for men experiencing hereditary hair loss. Its active ingredient, minoxidil, helps improve blood circulation to the hair follicles on the scalp, which causes the follicles to expand and the hair shaft to become thicker. This process helps prevent further hair loss and encourages new hair growth.

 

Can I use REGAINE?

REGAINE is most effective for men who have thinning hair or small, coin-sized patches of hair loss. If you have been bald for a long time or have large areas of hair loss, the treatment may not be as effective.

 

How do I use REGAINE?

Apply 1g of the foam (half a capful) to the affected area of your scalp twice a day. Make sure to leave it on for at least 12 hours between applications.

 

How effective is REGAINE?

REGAINE has been shown to stop hair loss in 9 out of 10 men. While some may notice fine, downy hair growth within 8 weeks, it typically takes 12-16 weeks to see full results. The effectiveness of REGAINE can be influenced by various factors, including genetics, the cause of hair loss, the area of the scalp affected, and how long you’ve been experiencing hair loss. If you haven’t noticed any improvement after 16 weeks, you should stop using REGAINE.

 

How long does REGAINE take to work?

Results vary for each individual, but clinical studies suggest that hair regrowth can begin as early as 8 weeks, with full effects visible after 16 weeks. One bottle of REGAINE typically lasts about a month. Using more than the recommended amount or applying it more frequently will not speed up hair growth. It’s important to continue using REGAINE to maintain the results.

 

What’s the difference between REGAINE Foam and REGAINE Solution?

The primary difference between REGAINE 5% Foam and REGAINE Solution is the method of application. REGAINE Foam comes in a pressurised canister, while REGAINE Solution is dispensed via a spray bottle. Both products contain the same active ingredient, minoxidil 5%, and are effective for treating hereditary hair loss in men. The choice between foam and solution depends on your personal preference.

 

What’s the difference between REGAINE and ROGAINE?

REGAINE is the brand name for this hair loss treatment in the UK, containing minoxidil 5% as its active ingredient. It is available in foam or solution forms and is designed to stimulate hair regrowth. ROGAINE, which is sold in the USA, is essentially the same product made by the same manufacturer, Johnson & Johnson, and is just the American version of REGAINE.

 

Instructions for use:

• Application:
  • Wash your hands before and after applying REGAINE.
  • Ensure your hair and scalp are completely dry before use.
  • Remove the cap and squeeze the nozzle to dispense half a capful of foam. Handle the foam as little as possible, as it melts with body heat.
  • Apply the foam to the affected area of your scalp and gently massage it in.
  • Use REGAINE twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart.
• Important Tips:
  • Only apply REGAINE twice a day; more frequent use will not improve effectiveness but may increase the risk of side effects.
  • Apply 1g of REGAINE Foam at a time (half a capful).
  • Ensure your scalp is dry before application.
  • There’s no need for gloves, but be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterward.
  • Avoid using a fine-toothed comb, as it may damage hair follicles. If you use a comb, choose one with widely spaced teeth and rounded tips.

 

Results:

REGAINE has been shown to be effective in 90% of men. During the initial weeks of treatment, you may experience increased hair shedding, which is a normal part of the hair regrowth process. It indicates that the medication is stimulating dormant hair follicles to start growing new hair.

To maintain the results, it’s essential to use REGAINE consistently. If you stop using it, any regrown hair may be lost within a few months.
