Hair growth is a slow process, and Regaine^® will not work overnight. But it does work. It has been clinically proven to work for 4 out of 5 people.

If you are using Regaine^® 5%, it will take at least 8 weeks to see results. If you are using the Regaine^® 2%, it will take up to 4 months to see results. The advantage of the gradual result is that other people won't immediately notice that you're treating your hair loss.

Two to six weeks after starting treatment you may notice you are losing even more hair. Don't be alarmed - this is completely normal. It's caused by your hair follicles shifting from a dormant phase to an active growing phase: as new hair growth begins, your old hairs are released and fall out. (See why do I lose hair).

Seeing Results

If you use Regaine^® 5% twice a day for 2 months or Regaine^® 2% for up to 4 months, you should find that your hair loss has stabilised. In some cases, you may begin to notice some new hair growth.

But don't be disappointed if it takes longer. Everyone is different and the effects vary from user to user.

If you do start to regrow hair, it won't look like your normal hair at first. It will probably be soft, downy and barely visible. After continued treatment, some people will notice this new hair change and become the same colour and thickness as the rest of their hair.

Make it a Habit

To achieve the best results, you must use Regaine^® twice a day directly on the scalp, when it is dry. Although this may be easy to remember at first, it's important to keep up with the applications as this will give you the best possible result.

Try to incorporate Regaine^® into your daily routine. For instance, try using Regaine^® in the morning after shaving and in the evening about half an hour before you go to bed. Remember, for best results, you must apply Regaine^® to a dry scalp.

Stopping Treatment

For continual benefits from Regaine^® you must use it twice a day, every day. However, if you chose to stop the treatment, you'll revert to the pattern of hair loss you would have if you had not started using Regaine^®.

If you had regrowth when you were using Regaine^® and you chose to stop the treatment, your hair won't suddenly fall out. You'll find that any new hair you may have grown disappears within 3 to 4 months and your original pattern of hair loss will start again.

The most important thing is that it is your decision to treat your hair loss or to stop treatment. You can choose when you are ready to let nature take its course.
