Regaine Extra Strength contains a 5% concentration of the active ingredient Minoxidil. It works for 4 out of 5 men to help prevent further hair loss and has been shown to re-grow some hair in 3 out of 5 men. Results may become noticeable in just eight weeks. When you start using Regaine, you may notice a temporary increase in hair loss in the first 2-6 weeks. This is entirely normal and is good news – it shows that your hair is shifting from a dormant phase to an active growing phase. 

"What causes hair loss?"

The most common cause of hair loss in men and women is androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Heredity, hormones and age all play a part in this condition. In AGA the genes and hormones in your body have a shrinking effect on your hair follicles, making them ineffective at growing new hairs.

"How does Regaine work?"

Regaine contains the active ingredient Minoxidil which works by increasing the supply of blood and nutrients to the hair follicles, strengthening existing hair and stimulating secondary growth. This produces thicker, longer, more-visible hair. Regaine achieves these results without affecting male hormones. Regaine also make a gentle, non-silicon based shampoo called Pregaine which complements Regaine products by cleaning your hair effectively without preventing your treatment from being absorbed.

"How soon will it start to work?"

Unfortunately, there's no hard and fast answer. Clinical studies have shown that if there is a response to the use of Regaine Regular Strength or Regaine for Men Gel, re growth can occur as early as 16 weeks.. If you use Regaine Extra Strength you may start to see results after 8 weeks. But remember that everyone is diferent so you just need to be patient.
