Regaine® frequently asked questions

What is Minoxidil?

expand_more

Minoxidil is the only over-the-counter active ingredient clinically proven* to help stop and even reverse hereditary hair loss. Minoxidil works by increasing the supply of blood and nutrients to your hair follicles helping to strengthen the existing hairs and encouraging them to grow.

How does Minoxidil work?

expand_more

The active ingredient in Regaine® is minoxidil, the only over-the-counter active ingredient clinically proven* to help stop and even reverse hereditary hair loss. It helps to promote hair regrowth in 4 ways:

  • Reverses miniaturisations of follicles
  • Increases blood flow around follicles
  • Stimulates follicle movement from resting to hair growth phase
  • Extends each follicle’s growth phase

What will happen if I stop using Regaine®? Will I keep my new hair?

expand_more

 No. If you stop using the hair regrowth treatment, you will not only lose the hair that regrew, but you will most likely revert to your previous pattern of hair loss.

Do I need a prescription for Regaine®?

expand_more

No, all Regaine® is widely available over the counter in chemists – whether you’re shopping online or on the high street.
