3. Stimulating follicles from the resting phase to the growing phase
4. Increasing the length of time of the growing phase
The active ingredient in Regaine is minoxidil, the only over-the-counter active ingredient clinically proven to help stop and even reverse hereditary hair loss4. If you are still in an early or light stage of hair loss, REGAINE® offers you better results by stabilize hair loss and stimulate its regrowth. It works by increasing the blood flow to the hair follicles and increasing follicular size and hair shaft diameter, stimulating and prolonging hair growth.4,28
