Regaine for Men Extra Strength 5% Scalp Foam 3 Month Supply

Regaine for Men Extra Strength 5% Scalp Foam is a topical hair-loss treatment formulated specifically for men experiencing hereditary male-pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia).

Its active ingredient, minoxidil 5%, is applied directly to areas of thinning or hair loss on the scalp. With regular twice-daily use, Regaine can help support hair regrowth and maintain the hair that has regrown. Official Regaine information notes that visible results may begin as early as 8 weeks, although individual results vary.

The convenient foam formulation is designed to be applied directly to a dry scalp and massaged lightly into the affected areas.

How It Works

Minoxidil is the active ingredient in Regaine. It works on hair follicles and can help counter the effects of hereditary hair loss. Regaine's official information states that continued use is required to maintain regrown hair.

Results aren't immediate. Official information indicates that evidence of hair growth may take 8 weeks or more, while the product information recommends discontinuing treatment if there is no improvement after 16 weeks.

How to Use

1. Wash your hands before application.
2. Ensure the hair and scalp are completely dry.
3. Hold the can upside down.
4. Dispense 1 gram of foam, approximately half a capful, onto your fingers.
5. Apply to the affected areas of the scalp.
6. Massage the foam gently into the scalp.
7. Wash your hands thoroughly after application.
8. Apply twice daily, with at least 12 hours between applications.
9. Do not exceed 2 grams per day.

Important Warnings

This is a medicinal hair-loss treatment, so I recommend displaying the warnings clearly on the Beautifly product page.

• For men aged 18–49 for this specific Extra Strength Foam formulation.
• For external use only.
• Apply only to the scalp.
• Do not use in women.
• Do not use if you have sudden or patchy hair loss.
• Do not use on a red, inflamed, irritated, infected or painful scalp.
• Do not use on a shaved or damaged scalp.
• Do not use if you are allergic/sensitive to minoxidil or any of the ingredients.
• People with blood-pressure problems should seek medical advice before use.
• Consult a doctor if you have heart disease, abnormal heart rhythm, angina/chest pain or circulation problems.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose. Using more does not improve results and may increase the likelihood of side effects.

Initial Hair Shedding

Some users may experience increased hair shedding during the first 2–6 weeks of treatment. The official product information says this generally settles within a couple of weeks; if increased shedding persists for more than two weeks, users should stop and consult a doctor.

Continued Use

If hair regrowth occurs, continued twice-daily treatment is necessary to maintain it. If treatment is stopped, the regrown hair is likely to be lost and the previous hair-loss pattern can return.

The 3-month pack is listed as 219 ml and contains three 73 ml cans.
