What is Regaine Foam for? 

Please note:  We do not keep this item in our Pharmacy so there will be a slight delay of a few days with the delivery of your order, irrespective of delivery method chosen.

Regaine Foam contains the active ingredient 5% w/w Minoxidil, which is clinically proven to help prevent further hereditary hair loss. It works by increasing the blood supply to the hair follicles which helps to strengthen existing hair and stimulate secondary hair growth. For most men, using Regaine may reverse the process, resulting in regrowth. Regaine should be applied to the scalp twice a day to help kick start your follicles. The easy to use foam takes very little time to apply, which means it seamlessly fits into your daily grooming routine.

How does Regaine Foam work?

In hereditary hair loss, a combination of heredity, hormones, and age causes a progressive shrinking, or miniaturisation, of certain scalp follicles. This causes a shortening of the hair's growing cycle. Over time, as the active growth phase becomes shorter, the resting phase becomes longer. Eventually, there may be no growth at all. The exact mechanism of action of Regaine is uncertain.

However, researchers believe that Regaine works in part by partially enlarging the hair follicles and reversing the miniaturisation process. By enlarging miniaturised follicles, the growth phase of the hair cycle is prolonged, allowing the hair to become longer and appearing thicker. And with more follicles in the growth phase at the same time, it is possible to see improved coverage of the scalp.

Some men may choose to take oral hair loss medication such as Propecia or Finasteride when they buy Regaine Foam for male hair loss, in order to maximise results.
