Regaine for Men contains minoxidil, a topical treatment for hereditary hair loss (male pattern baldness). It helps slow hair thinning and promote regrowth by increasing blood flow to hair follicles and prolonging the hair’s active growth (anagen) phase. Applied directly to the scalp - usually twice daily - it works best on the crown and vertex areas and is most effective when started early.
Visible results can take several months, and continued use is needed to maintain regrowth; stopping treatment may lead to hair loss returning. Regaine is generally well tolerated and can be used alongside non-medicinal approaches to support scalp and hair health.
