A closer look at Minoxidil, the active ingredient in Men’s ROGAINE®

DISCOVERING MINOXIDIL

Minoxidil was first discovered during clinical trials for high blood pressure — where it was revealed to have the remarkable ability to stimulate hair growth.

Minoxidil works by increasing the supply of blood and nutrients to your hair follicles. This increased circulation helps follicles shift from a dormant phase, to an active growing phase — strengthening existing hair and encouraging new growth.

Minoxidil helps to promote hair regrowth in 4 ways:

Reversing hair follicle shrinkage

number two in a circle symbol

Increasing blood flow to follicles and scalp

number three in a circle symbol

Stimulating follicles to shift from resting to growth phase

number four in a circle symbol

Extending each follicle’s growth phase

Men’s ROGAINE® Foam and Topical Solution both contain Minoxidil and are clinically proven to help prevent further hair loss. Using Men’s ROGAINE® twice daily can even reverse the process, resulting in thicker, fuller hair.
