What Is Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Foam?
Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Foam is a clinically proven treatment for hereditary hair loss in men aged 18 to 49.
It contains 5% minoxidil, which helps slow down hair loss and stimulate regrowth when applied regularly to the scalp.
What Is It Used For?
This product is used to treat male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, and works best at the crown of the scalp.
Regaine may help by:
- — Preventing further hair thinning or loss
- — Encouraging new hair growth
- — Improving hair density and coverage over time
- — Most effective in men with recent or mild to moderate hair loss
- — Only suitable for men between 18 and 49 years of age
How Does Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Foam Work?
Regaine works by revitalising hair follicles and increasing blood flow to the scalp. The active ingredient, minoxidil, helps extend the growth phase of the hair cycle, allowing hairs to grow longer and thicker before shedding.
With continued use, it may slow or even reverse hair loss in some men.
How Should Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Foam Be Taken?
- — Apply half a capful (approximately 1g) of foam to the affected area twice daily – once in the morning and once in the evening.
- — Make sure your scalp is dry and clean before applying.
- — Gently massage the foam into the scalp and wash your hands after use.
- — Allow the product to dry fully before using other hair products or going to bed.
