What is Regaine and how does it work?

REGAINE Extra Strength Solution 5% is a treatment for men with hereditary hair loss. It has been clinically shown to prevent further hair loss in 80% of men and stimulate hair regrowth in 60%. The active ingredient, minoxidil, enhances blood flow to the hair follicles on the scalp, enlarging the follicles and thickening the hair. This helps reduce hair loss and encourages new hair to grow.

Can I use Regaine?

REGAINE is designed for men aged 18 to 65 who are experiencing hereditary hair loss. It is most effective for men with thinning hair or small, coin-sized patches of hair loss. If you’ve been bald for an extended period or have large areas of hair loss, REGAINE may not be as effective.

How good is Regaine?

REGAINE can help stop hair loss in up to 80% of men. It’s important to note that hair regrowth takes time. You may begin to notice soft, fine hair regrowth in as little as 8 weeks, but it typically takes 12-16 weeks to see more significant results. Factors like family history, the cause of your hair loss, the area affected, and how long you’ve had hair loss can all impact how well REGAINE works for you.

How long does Regaine take to work?

The results from REGAINE vary between individuals. Clinical studies show that hair regrowth can start as early as 8 weeks, although full results may take up to 16 weeks. One bottle typically lasts a month. Using more than the recommended dose or applying it more frequently won’t speed up hair regrowth. To maintain the benefits, it’s essential to keep using REGAINE. If you haven’t seen any improvement after 12 months of use, it’s advised to stop.

How to use it:

Ensure your scalp is dry before applying 1ml of REGAINE Solution 5% to the affected areas twice a day. Gently massage it into your scalp. Wait at least 12 hours before applying it again, and do not use more than the recommended two applications per day.

What’s the difference between REGAINE Extra Strength Foam 5% and REGAINE Extra Strength Solution 5%?

The primary difference is that REGAINE 5% Foam is approved for men aged 18-49, while REGAINE 5% Solution is approved for men up to 65 years old. This distinction is due to how the products perform in different age groups. Both versions contain the same active ingredient, minoxidil, and work similarly, but the method of application differs: REGAINE Foam comes in a pressurised can, while REGAINE Solution is dispensed via a dropper.
