How
it works
· It penetrates the root
to help stop hair thinning, reactivate inactive follicles, whilst strengthening
and revitalising the hair follicle to grow new, thicker hair
· Minoxidil is the only
clinically proven treatment for female pattern hair loss and it’s the
active ingredient in Regaine for Women Solution and helps to promote hair
growth in 4 ways:
· 1.Reverses
miniaturisation of follicles
· 2.Increases
blood flow around follicles
· 3.Stimulates
follicle movement from resting to hair growth phase
· 4.Extends
each follicle’s growth phase
During
the first few weeks of use, there may be a temporary increase in hair shedding.
This is a good sign and means that the new hair growth cycle is beginning! If
the shedding lasts longer than 2 weeks, stop using the product and talk to your
doctor
