Regaine For Women for Hair Loss

Female Pattern Hair Loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia is a concern for some women, especially those with a genetic history of hair loss. 

Regaine For Women is a topical scalp medicine used to treat hereditary female hair loss for women aged between 18 and 65 years. This medicine is intended to prevent further hair loss and to help re-grow hair follicles. Results can begin to show in about 32 weeks. 

What is Regaine For Women and how does it work?

This product contains minoxidil which is thought to aid in increasing the blood flow to the hair follicles. It promotes hair regrowth in following 4 ways:

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

If you are a woman who has general thinning hair, this medication may be right for you. It is not intended for those who have had balding or thinning hair for many years, or who have large areas of hair loss.
