What to expect
Is Regaine® right for you?

Regaine® will only work if your hair loss is hereditary. The typical pattern of hereditary hair loss is a receding hairline at the brow and temples, followed by thinning on the crown. Take our test to find out if yours could be hereditary and treatable.

Does it work for everybody?
No, there are several factors that might influence the results from Regaine® including:
  The predominance of hereditary hair loss in your family
  The length of time you've been losing your hair
  The type of hair loss condition you have
  The area of hair loss on your scalp

Reasons for not using Regaine®
If you have heart disease, angina or you are taking medication for blood pressure, you should check with your Doctor before using Regaine®. Once you've got the all clear, you can start using it straight away.

You shouldn't use Regaine® if:
  You are under 18 or over 65 years of age
  Your scalp is red, inflamed, irritated, infected, painful or shaven
  Your hair loss is sudden or patchy
  You have a problem with your blood pressure
  You don't know why you are losing your hair - ask your doctor
  You have other conditions associated with hair loss
