In the U.S.--
Regaine® is the first and only topical solution which is
medically proven to stop hereditary hair loss. Over 5 million people
worldwide have used Regaine®. Clinical trials show it can
Slow down or stop hair loss in 4 out of 5 men, while nearly 2 out of 5
will actually regrow hair.
The active ingredient in Regaine® is minoxidil, which has
been researched extensively for its effectiveness in treating hair
loss. Scientists believe that it works by helping the blood flow to
the cells in your scalp which grow hair, or that it might increase the
number of actively growing cells.
Regaine® Extra and Regular Strengths are available,
without a prescription, from pharmacies nationwide. Regaine®
Extra Strength works for 4 out of 5 users in about 8 weeks. The
Regular Strength format works for 4 out of 5 users in 4-6 months. For
further details please contact your local pharmacist.
It's easy to determine if Regaine® is right for you. If it
is, you may begin to see results within a few months of starting
treatment. With continued use, hair loss can be a thing of the past.
Hair growth is a slow process, and Regaine® will not
work overnight. But it does work. It has been medically proven
to work for 4 out of 5 people.
We say "medically proven" - but what does it really mean?
Before the health authorities approve a phamaceutical product for
human use, a substantial amount of documentation has been scrutinised.
This material often covers many years of basic research on efficacy,
safety and mode of action, as well as time consuming and expensive
clinical trials. These studies are often performed in many countries
and by independent research centres. A pharmaceutical product can only
be approved after the national health authorities have analysed all
this documentation. Only when this approval has been granted may a
pharmaceutical company claim that its' product is medically and
scientifically proven.
In complete contrast to this, the documentation for cosmetic products
is very sparse. There may be some information about the safety of some
of the components, but almost nothing about efficacy. And when it
comes to claims and statements, cosmetics are under none of the
rigorous rules and regulations that apply to registered
pharmaceuticals.
In short, every single claim made in respect of a registered
pharmaceutical has been documented and approved by the health
authorities in each respective country.
If you are using Regaine® Extra Strength solution, results
can be seen as early as 8 weeks. If you are using the Regaine®
Regular Strength, it can take 4; 6 months to work. The advantage of
the gradual result is that other people won't immediately notice that
you're treating your hair loss.
Two to six weeks after starting treatment you may notice you are
losing even more hair. Don't be alarmed - this is completely normal.
It's caused by your hair follicles shifting from a dormant phase to an
active growing phase: as new hair growth begins, your old hairs are
released and fall out.
Seeing Results
As we have said, Regaine® has been medically proven to
work for 4 out of 5 users.
If you use Regaine® Extra Strenght twice a day for 2
months or Regaine® Regular Strenght for 3 to 4 months, you
should find that your hair loss has stabilised. In some cases, you may
begin to notice some new hair growth.
But don't be disappointed if it takes longer. Everyone is different
and the effects vary from user to user.
If you do start to regrow hair, it won't look like your normal hair at
first. It will probably be soft, downy and barely visible. After
continued treatment, 1 in 5 people will notice this new hair change
and become the same colour and thickness as the rest of their hair.
Stopping Treatment
Contrary to popular opinion, Regaine® doesn't have to be a
life-sentence.
For continual benefits from Regaine® you must use it twice
a day, every day. However, if you chose to stop the treatment, you'll
simply revert to the pattern of hair loss you had before you started
using Regaine®.
The most important thing is that it is your decision to treat
your hair loss or to stop treatment. You can chose when you are ready
to let nature take its course.
If you had regrowth when you were using Regaine® and you
chose to stop the treatment, your hair won't suddenly fall out. You'll
find that any new hair you may have grown disappears within 3 to 4
months and your original pattern of hair loss will start again.
Side Effects
Because Regaine® contains an alcohol base, a few users
experience skin irritation. This problem is usually temporary, but if
it continues, stop using the product.
In very rare instances Regaine® can cause other side
effects. If you notice anything unusual, stop using Regaine®
and see your doctor.
