Regaine Extra Strength Foam For Men

What is Regaine?

Regaine is a hair product that contains the active ingredient minoxidil. It is used by men between the ages of 18-49, who are experiencing hair thinning around the scalp region. Regaine works by increasing the blood flow to hair follicles, stimulating them to regrow hair, as well as prevent further hair loss. It is available to buy without a prescription from most high street and online pharmacies. Regaine should be used twice daily, and takes around 8 weeks to work. It is effective in around 80% of those that try it.

How does Regaine work?

Regaine works by increasing the flow of blood to vessels in the scalp. In turn, there is an increased blood supply to the hair follicles, giving them access to a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. This stimulates the hair follicles to produce thick and long hair which is visible. This process also works to strengthen existing hair, reversing hair loss.
