Regaine For Women 1 Month Supply
Regaine for Women Regular Strength is a hair loss treatment specifically for women and is proven to help reverse hereditary hair loss in women between the ages of 18 and 65. Regaine for Women contains 2% Minoxidil which is the only ingredient clinically proven to work in cases of hair loss.
Minoxidil dilates the tiny blood vessels in the scalp thereby increasing the blood supply to the hair follicles and it is thought that this stimulates the hair growth.
Clinical trials demonstrate that Regaine for Women solution has helped stop further hair loss in four out of five cases and can regrow some hair in three out of five women within thirty-two weeks.
You may notice after using Regaine for 2-6 weeks that you are losing more hair than before you started treatment. This is completely normal and is a positive sign that the treatment is actually working. It is caused by your hair follicles changing from a dormant phase to an active growing phase; as new hair growth begins, your old hair is released and falls out.
If the shedding persists for longer than two weeks, discontinue the treatment and consult your healthcare professional.
Continue to use Regaine for Women Solution twice a day as directed and your thinning hair should stablise. Some women see results in as little as 16 weeks but for other women, it can take longer.
If your hair starts to re-grow, it will probably be soft, downy and barely visible. After continued treatment, this new hair should become the same colour and thickness as the rest of your hair. If you do not continue to use Regaine after the initial period of treatment, the hair that has re-grown may disappear after a few months causing further balding or hair loss.
When using Regaine for Women, the scalp and hair should be dry before applying the solution.
Line up the arrow on the can ring with the arrow on the cap and remove the cap.
Hold the can upside down keeping it vertical and press the nozzle to dispense half a capful of the foam onto a non-absorbent surface. The total amount of foam dispensed should not exceed half a capful.
The foam may begin to melt on contact if your hands are warm so rinse your fingers in cold water first before dispensing. Make sure your hands are totally dry before handling the foam.
In the areas of hair loss/thinning, make a centre parting to help maximise scalp exposure.
Using your fingertips, apply the foam to cover areas of hair loss and gently massage it into the scalp, starting at the back of the scalp and moving towards the front (forehead). Part your hair at least two more times on each side of the centre parting. Use until all the foam is gone.
Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards with soap and water.
Replace the cap on the container and snap back into place. Be sure the arrows are misaligned so that the cap remains childproof.

These are quite common and may affect more than one in ten people.
If you experience any of these side effects, you should stop using Regaine immediately and inform your doctor.
These side effects are uncommon but possible if you are using the treatment with a scalp condition present such as psoriasis or if you are using the treatment in greater quantities than recommended.

Regaine for Women 5% Minoxidil foam is specifically formulated following clinical trials to assess the product’s safety and effectiveness for women who are experiencing female pattern hair loss.
Regaine for Women works by stimulating the blood supply and nutrients to the hair follicles on the scalp through its active ingredient Minoxidil. This helps to strengthen the existing hairs and encourages them to grow and over time, this process can produce thicker and more visible hair. Regaine for Women is clinically proven to regrow hair in more than 80% of women.
Regaine for Women foam does not contain any hormones. The active ingredient in Regaine for Women is Minoxidil and this is not a hormone.
Regaine for Women is available in a solution or as a foam.
There is no need to shampoo your hair before using Regaine for Women. If you do wish to shampoo your hair first then dry your hair so that the skin on your scalp is dry before applying the foam.
Regaine for Women should be used twice daily and applied to affected areas of the scalp. It will quickly become part of your morning and evening beauty routine. If you use Regaine for Women Foam then this only needs to be applied once a day.
Thickening products just temporarily coat the existing hair whereas Regaine for Women Foam reactivates inactive hair follicles to stimulate hair regrowth from the roots.
Regaine for Women Foam can be used on colour-treated hair. However you should always make your hairdresser aware that you are using this product on your hair.
If you miss one or two applications of Regaine for Women, don’t worry just carry on as normal, do not increase the frequency of applications to make up the missed treatments or double the quantity when you next treat your scalp.
Regaine for Women may be an appropriate treatment for you if you have a family history of gradual hair loss and/or if you notice you are beginning to lose hair from the top of your scalp or around the hairline at the front of your scalp. If there is no family history of gradual hair loss or, your hair loss is patchy, then you should consult your healthcare practitioner.
Regaine for Women is not a suitable product for those women who suffer from high blood pressure whether treated or not, or for those women who have skin conditions on their scalp such as psoriasis, eczma, broken skin or sunburn. You should not use Regaine for Women if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Women who have a shaved scalp or who are using other medicines or occlusive dressings which are applied to the scalp should not use this product. Regaine for Women is only recommended for women who are aged between eighteen and sixty-five so if you fall outside this age range, then you should not use Regaine to treat hair loss, consult your GP for further advice. If you think you may be allergic to any of the ingredients found within Regaine then you should not use it, equally if you appear to suffer an allergic reaction when using the product then you should discontinue treatment and consult your doctor.
Two to six weeks after treatment, you may lose more hair than before you started the treatment. This is completely normal and is a positive sign that the treatment is working. It is caused by your hair follicles changing from a dormant to an active growing phase; as new hair growth begins, your old hair is released and falls out.
During the first two to six weeks of using Regaine, you may notice a temporary increase in hair loss; this is normal and occurs because the Minoxidil in regaine causes the hair follicle to shift from the resting to the growth phase of the hair cycle. As part of this process, it is not uncommon to see a temporary increase in shedding. This temporary shedding is a good sign and occurs because a new growth cycle is beginning and the old hair is making way for newer actively growing hairs. This shedding should desist over time but if increased shedding persists for more than a couple of weeks, then stop using the product and consult your GP in order to rule out other causes of hair loss or other medical problems.
Regaine for Women Foam melts with body heat. By dispensing the product onto a non-absorbent surface, you will be able to take the time you need to apply the product properly to the scalp without it dispersing too quickly.
You may notice a temporary increase in hair shedding between week two and week six of use that lasts for a couple of weeks. This is usually temporary and a good sign that the hair follicles have been reactivated and a new growth cycle is beginning. If shedding persists for longer than two weeks, you should discontinue use of the product and consult your healthcare professional.
If you do not continue to use Regaine, the hair that has re-grown may disappear after three to four months causing further balding or hair loss. If your hair growth is stimulated, you should keep using Regaine twice a day for the growth to continue.
It may take twice daily applications of the solution and daily applications of the foam for at least four months for any noticeable hair regrowth; normal hair usually grows at the rate of half an inch per month so hair regrowth with Regaine will also take some time. Some women see results as early as twelve weeks although others may need to wait for about twenty-four weeks before they see any regrowth. Regaine for Women will not work for everyone and in some cases, hair regrowth will not occur. If there is no improvement after a year, you should stop using the treatment.
