• Why do I seem to be losing more hair now that I have started treatment with Regaine for Women?

  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.

• I have heard that Regaine for Women foam actually makes your hair fall out first before it regrows, is this true?

  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.

• Why does the leaflet state that Regaine for Women foam should be dispensed onto a non-absorbent surface and not directly on to the hair before being applied?

  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.

• How will I know if Regaine is working?

  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.

• Do I need to keep using Regaine after the initial course of treatment?

  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.

• How long will it take before I notice any hair regrowth?

  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.
