Regaine 5% Solution is a topical treatment for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The active ingredient, minoxidil, is clinically proven to help stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss. Regaine 5% Solution works by improving blood flow to the hair follicles, revitalising shrunken hair follicles, and encouraging new hair growth. It is most effective for men with hereditary hair loss on the vertex (crown) of the scalp and is intended for ongoing use.
