Product Information

I actually prefer the liquid overall, mainly because it’s cheaper and easy enough to apply for me, but I often keep a bottle of the foam on hand because it’s a far better styling product, in my opinion. It may take twice daily applications for 2 months or more before evidence of hair growth can be expected. Regaine® preparations contain an alcohol which may be irritating to sensitive areas of skin. Be careful not to get any of the preparation into your eyes or mouth, or on to any broken areas of skin or cuts. If this does happen, wash the area well with water. If you are using minoxidil foam, apply 1 g of foam (half a capful) to the affected area of your scalp twice a day, preferably in the morning and evening. To do this, turn the can upside down and direct the nozzle in to your hand. Press the nozzle until you have the equivalent of half a capful of foam in your hand. Use your fingertips to gently massage the foam into the bald area of your scalp. Remember to wash your hands after using the foam so it doesn't get on to other areas of your skin, or on to other people. You can buy minoxidil from your pharmacy without a prescription. Minoxidil treatment for hereditary hair loss is not available on the NHS, so your GP may only be able to prescribe it for you privately.

Primary efficacy criterion was assessed by the mean change in non-vellus hair count in a 1.0 cm 2 reference area of affected scalp, as measured by macrophotography at baseline and Week 24, and subject assessment of scalp coverage from global photographs, as measured by the change from baseline at Week 24 on a 7-point scale.While both forms of minoxidil are effective, there are several differences between the liquid and foam versions of minoxidil that you should be aware of if you’re thinking of using this medication to treat hair loss. Topical minoxidil is not indicated when there is no family history of hair loss, hair loss is sudden and/or patchy, hair loss is due to childbirth, or the reason for hair loss is unknown. Because the liquid version of minoxidil comes with a dropper, some users find that it’s easier to apply to specific areas of the scalp. This may be helpful if you have long hair and need to apply the medication only to specific areas.
