The Basics
What is Rogaine
Rogaine (medically referred to as Minoxidil) is a topical medication used to help you regrow hair on your scalp. In addition to stimulating hair growth and improving a receding hairline, Rogaine can even increase the density and thickness of hair. This treatment has even shown effectiveness in promoting hair regrowth and density in patients with Androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss.
Rogaine is one of the most dermatologist-recommended treatments for stimulating hair growth and preventing further hair loss, and patients who use the medication correctly often see a visible difference.
Since hair loss is complex and can be triggered by a number of factors (i.e. stress, changes in your hormones, recent illness, vegetarian or low protein diets, and rapid weight loss), if you are experiencing severe hair loss, you may need to consider other hair restoration treatments like FUE or FUT hair transplants.
Please keep in mind that this treatment will not cause permanent regrowth of scalp hair and you must continue using the product to keep the regrowth of your hair. Rogaine works only for certain causes of baldness, and it delivers the best results when used as directed.
