Regaine for women's once-daily scalp foam contains the active ingredient Minoxidil. Regaine foam is used for the treatment of female pattern hair loss in women between the ages of 18 - 65. Regaine works regrowing hair, stimulating hair follicles and preventing further hair loss.
You won't need to have a prescription for this medication - just answer a few questions from our pharmacist.
How does Regaine for women work?
It enters the hair follicle at the root to help reduce hair thinning, reactivates dormant follicles, and strengthens and revitalises the follicle to produce new, thicker hair.
The key ingredient in Regaine for Women Foam, minoxidil, is the only medication clinically shown to stop female pattern hair loss. It works to encourage hair growth in four different ways.
- Reverses follicle miniaturisation
- Boosts blood circulation around follicles
- Promotes follicle migration from the dormant to the growing phase of the hair
- Extends the development phase of each follicle
