FAQs

  • How does Regaine 5% Solution work?
    Regaine contains minoxidil, which is believed to improve blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles, revitalizing hair follicles and promoting hair regrowth. It extends the growth phase of hair and helps increase the size of the hair follicles.

  • How long does it take to see results?
    Results can be seen in as little as 2 months, but most users typically notice significant regrowth after 4 months of consistent use. Hair regrowth may vary from person to person.

  • How often should I apply Regaine 5% Solution?
    Regaine 5% Solution should be applied twice daily to the scalp, once in the morning and once in the evening.

  • Can Regaine 5% Solution be used on receding hairlines?
    Regaine is most effective for treating hair loss at the vertex (crown) of the scalp and may not be as effective for receding hairlines or baldness at the front of the scalp.

  • Will I need to use Regaine continuously?
    Yes, Regaine is an ongoing treatment. If you stop using the product, hair regrowth will likely stop, and any regrown hair may gradually be lost within 3 to 4 months.
