Is all hair loss caused by hereditary male pattern baldness?

In 95% of cases, male pattern baldness is hereditary, but there are some rare occasions where hair loss can be caused by other things. Other causes can include stress, poor nutrition, medical conditions, or certain medications. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.

Exactly how does Minoxidil cause the hair to regrow?

Minoxidil increases blood flow, which helps to promote hair growth by reversing the miniaturisation of the follicles. This increases blood supply around the follicles, stimulating follicle movement from the resting to active hair growth phase and extending each follicle's growth phase.

Can I use a hairdryer whilst using Regaine Extra Strength Scalp Foam?

Yes, but not to dry the foam itself.

Can I wear sunscreen on my scalp whilst using Regaine Scalp Foam?

Do not use sunscreen whilst using Regaine Scalp Foam. Instead, you must wear a head covering that fully covers your scalp.

About Regaine for Men Scalp Foam

What is Regaine Scalp Foam?

Regaine Scalp Foam contains minoxidil and is clinically shown to help treat - and in some cases reverse - hereditary hair loss.

Regaine for Men works by boosting blood circulation to the hair follicles, helping to encourage stronger hair growth and extend the lifespan of existing hair.

It is most effective for men experiencing recent hair loss or thinning at the crown, but it can also be used during the early stages of a receding hairline.

Alternatives to Regaine for Men

Regaine for Men Scalp Foam is specifically formulated for men between the ages of 18–49 years. It is not suitable for women. If you are female and looking to treat hair loss, please see Regaine for Women.

Stop using Regaine immediately if you experience chest pains, an increased heart rate, fainting, dizziness, sudden and unexplained weight gain, swollen hands or feet or persistent redness or irritation of the scalp. Consult your doctor promptly.
