HOW EFFECTIVE WILL
REGAIN BE FOR YOU?
Everyone's rate of hair
growth varies, and is dependent on many factors. Studies have shown
that the response to treatment with Regaine (minoxidil) may vary. For
those that respond to Regaine (minoxidil) with regrowth, some will see
results faster than others. Studies have shown that between 4 and 6
months of treatment are usually necessary before there is evidence of
regrowth.
THE BEST RESPONSE
TO REGAINE
The best response to
Regaine (minoxidil) are obtained where: The area of hair loss is less
than 4 inches/10 cms across and this area has been affected by hair
loss for less than 10 years. The scalp is free from oils, waxes, silicones
etc. which may hinder the absorption of Regaine (minoxidil). In women
the best response is on the front and top areas of the scalp.
HOW IS REGAINE USED?
Regaine (minoxidil) is
a clear, colourless solution to be used only for external application
to the scalp. Apply 1ml of Regaine (minoxidil) twice a day to the scalp
with the specially designed applicator supplied in the package. Do not
use more than twice a day Ð your hair will not grow back any quicker.
Before use please read the pack instructions and in-pack leaflet carefully.
WHO CAN USE REGAINE?
Regaine (minoxidil) can
be used by those aged over 18 suffering from hereditary hair loss. Do
not use Regaine (minoxidil) if your hair loss is sudden and/or patchy
or if your scalp is inflamed, red, irritated, infected or painful. If
you are pregnant or breastfeeding do not use Regaine (minoxidil). You
should consult your doctor or pharmacist if for any personal medical
reason you are unsure about using Regaine (minoxidil) or if you are
using other medicines.
CAN I HAVE MY HAIR
PERMED OR COLOURED WHILE USING REGAINE?
There is no evidence
that colouring or perming hair interferes in any way with the effectiveness
of Regaine (minoxidil). However, to avoid possible scalp irritation,
you should make sure all of the Regaine (minoxidil) has been washed
off the hair and the scalp before using these chemicals.
CAN I USE A HAIRDRYER,
HAIRSPRAYS, MOUSSES, GELS ETC?
Hair sprays, mousses
etc. can be used on hair while using Regaine (minoxidil). You should
apply Regaine (minoxidil) first and wait for it to dry completely before
applying styling aids. A hairdryer can certainly be used but not for
drying the Regaine (minoxidil) solution. Regaine (minoxidil) will dry
quickly on its own.
WILL REGAINE SLOW
DOWN OR STOP FURTHER HAIR LOSS?
Regaine (minoxidil) will
slow down or stop further hair loss in 4 out of 5 men and women and
will regrow hair in 2 out of 5.
