Regaine

Choosing the right Regaine

Regaine contains minoxidil for hereditary hair loss, and the formulations differ by strength and by whether they're designed for men or women. It works gradually — most people need around four months of consistent use before judging results, and it can be used long-term — continued use is needed to maintain the regrowth, which is gradually lost if you stop. It's for hereditary (pattern) hair loss, not sudden or patchy loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the men's and women's products?

The formulations and strengths differ, and the 5% foam has specific men's and women's versions. Choose the product designed for your sex and follow the directions.

Foam or solution — does it matter?

Both deliver minoxidil to the scalp; the foam is quick-drying and popular, while the solution suits those who prefer a liquid. Consistency matters more than the format.

When should I see a doctor instead?

See your GP for sudden, patchy or unexplained hair loss, or scalp redness, scaling or pain — these need assessment rather than a regrowth treatment.
