Rogaine

Combat hair loss

Rogaine for Men is the only medically proven topical solution that helps slow or stop hereditary hair loss.

The active ingredient in Rogaine 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.

How to apply Rogaine

- Apply Rogaine twice a day, usually morning and evening, leaving 12 hours between applications.
- Make sure your hair and scalp are completely dry before applying Rogaine.
- Apply a 1ml dose of Rogaine to the area of hair loss and massage it gently into the scalp.
- When applying Rogaine at night, do it about half an hour before you go to bed to allow the solution time to dry. Wash your hands thoroughly after using Rogaine.
- Once Rogaine is dry, comb and style your hair as normal.
- If you are using Rogaine Extra Strength (5% minoxidil), it will take at least 8 weeks to see results. 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. 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, some people will notice this new hair change and become the same colour and thickness as the rest of their hair.
