Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Foam 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. Minoxidil is clinically proven to help stop and even reverse hereditary hair loss and hair thinning in men. It’s particularly effective for those experiencing thinning or loss at the scalp’s crown.
For the best results with Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Foam, simply follow these steps for correct application.
Only apply the foam to your scalp. It’s not meant for other parts of your body.
The foam may melt when it touches your skin, especially if your hands are warm. If this happens, cool your fingers under cold water and dry them before you handle the foam.
Apply to the scalp twice daily. Make sure there are at least 12 hours between applications, and do not exceed a total of 2 grams per day. Avoid using it more than twice within 24 hours.
During the first few weeks of use, there may be a temporary increase in hair shedding. This is a good sign that the new hair growth cycle is beginning. With continued use of Regaine, hair regrowth will appear with the same colour and thickness as the rest of your hair.
Please consult the patient information leaflet for a complete list of potential side effects. Discuss any side effects, even those not mentioned, with your GP or pharmacist.

Regaine for Men Extra Strength Solution: This is the scalp solution form of Regaine, containing minoxidil. It’s designed to make application straightforward while minimising mess and to combat hair loss.
Avodart (Dutasteride): Similar to Finasteride but may be more effective for some, this prescription medication is taken orally. It works by reducing DHT production, an essential hormone in hair loss.
Finasteride: A prescription oral medication known for fighting hair loss by inhibiting DHT. It’s often sold under the brand name Propecia.
Propecia: Explicitly marketed for male pattern baldness, Finasteride is designed to treat the crown and mid-scalp areas.
Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo: This over-the-counter shampoo uses caffeine to stimulate hair growth from the scalp, aiming to prevent hair loss without needing a prescription.
Keep using Regaine as part of your daily routine indefinitely. It’s not a cure for hair loss but a treatment that requires ongoing use to maintain results. If you stop using it, you’ll likely lose any hair that regrew within a few months.
Regaine helps to prevent further hair loss and promotes hair regrowth. It can increase hair density and revitalise hair follicles, making it an effective treatment for those experiencing male pattern hair loss.
Results from Regaine can vary, but many users start to see results within 4 to 6 months of regular use. Using it consistently as directed is essential to see the best results. Remember, hair growth is a slow process, and so be patient.
9 out of 10 men said they kept or regrew hair after 16 weeks of using Regaine Foam twice a day.
The main difference between Regaine Foam and Regaine Solution lies in their form and application method. The foam is designed to be easier and less messy, and is often preferred by those looking for a quick, straightforward application process. The solution can provide a more precise application to the scalp, which some find beneficial, especially if they have longer hair or specific areas they wish to target.
