Description
What is Regaine for Women Regular Strength?
Regaine for Women Regular Strength is a liquid solution containing 2% Minoxidil. It is designed for women aged 18 to 65 who are experiencing hereditary hair loss, also known as female pattern hair loss.
How does it work?
The active ingredient, Minoxidil, works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles on your scalp. This encourages new hair growth and helps prevent further hair loss.
How do I use it?
- Ensure your hair and scalp are completely dry before application.
- Apply 1ml of Regaine to the affected areas twice a day using the provided applicator.
- After applying, wash your hands thoroughly.
- Do not exceed 2ml in a 24-hour period, and avoid using more than twice a day, as this will not speed up hair growth and may increase the risk of side effects.
What if I miss a dose?
If you forget to apply Regaine, simply apply it at your next scheduled dose. Do not apply extra to make up for a missed dose.
How long does it take to work?
Hair regrowth takes time, so it may be a few months before you see noticeable results. Studies show that 3 out of 5 women saw hair regrowth after using Regaine 2% for approximately 32 weeks.
You may experience some additional shedding during the first 2-6 weeks, but don’t worry – this is a sign that new hair is starting to grow, and over time, it will become as strong as your natural hair.
How is it different from Regaine for Women Extra Strength Foam 5%?
The primary difference between the two is the strength of the formula. Regaine Regular Strength contains 2% Minoxidil, requiring application twice a day, whereas the Extra Strength Foam contains 5% Minoxidil, and you only need to apply it once a day.
Both treatments are designed for women aged 18 to 65 and are applied directly to the scalp.
Is Regaine for Women Regular Strength right for me?
This treatment is intended for women with hereditary female pattern hair loss. It is most effective for younger women who have noticed thinning hair for a relatively short time. It will not be effective for hair loss caused by other factors such as pregnancy or chemotherapy.
Can I buy it without a prescription?
Yes, Regaine for Women Regular Strength is available over the counter at pharmacies, so you do not need a prescription.
Can I use it if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
It is not recommended to use Regaine while pregnant or breastfeeding. Always consult your doctor for further guidance.
