Rogaine is the first available medication
that has been proven effective for hair loss treatment. It contains
the active ingredient Minoxidil and is the only product which has
been medically proven to treat hereditary hair loss. Rogaine is a
solution which is applied topically to the scalp twice a day. It can
also slow down hair loss in men who are showing signs of balding. In
consumer surveys of over 7,000 men, 80% said they noticed a
difference. Furthermore, after 12 months of continuous use, 40%
showed re-growth of hair. Rogaine is also known as Regaine in some
countries. |

|
|
|
Rogaine works in part by partially
enlarging miniaturized follicles and reversing the miniaturization
process. This prolongs the growth phase of the hair cycle, allowing
the hair to become longer and thicker. And with more follicles in
the growth phase at the same time, it is possible to see improved
coverage of the scalp. Although the growth phase may be prolonged,
the follicle will continue to cycle. Several cycles may be necessary
before maximum potential hair re-growth can be achieved. While
clinical trials have proven Rogaine can assist in hair re-growth for
both men and women, thicken existing hair, reduce hair loss, and
stimulate new hair growth, individual results can be affected by
several factors.
- The younger the age of patients, the greater chance of good
results.
- If hair is thinning as opposed to having a bald spot, response
will be better.
- If the bald area is less than 10cm and has been that way for
less than 10 years, response will be better.
- Response is better on the crown (back) rather than on the
front of the scalp.
Rogaine must be applied twice daily every day. It will need to be
used for four to six months before seeing hair re-growth. If Rogaine
treatment is stopped after re-growing hair, the new hair will fall
out within four months. |

Extensive studies have shown that Rogaine
is effective at stopping hereditary hair loss. But there are many
causes of hair loss and Rogaine is not suitable for everyone. That's
why it's important to discover first whether Rogaine is right for
you...
- Do you have a family history of hair loss?
- Have been losing hair for less than 10 years?
- Do you have a balding area less than 10 cm in diameter, with
some remaining hair growth?
- Do you have hair loss at the front of your scalp or on the
crown?
- Are over 18 and in good physical health?
If you answered YES to all of these questions, then Rogaine could
be your answer to ending hair loss.
If you are experiencing hair loss and it is not hereditary,
Rogaine is not the answer for you. But don't despair, there are lots
of other ways of dealing with hair loss which can help improve your
looks and confidence.

Must Rogaine be
rubbed in or just rolled on?
We recommend it be rubbed in.
How long after shampooing should Rogaine be
applied?
One hour after shampooing.
Can a hair drier be used after using
Rogaine?
A hair drier may be used after shampooing but should not be used
to dry the medication.
How long after application does optimum
absorption take place?
Two hours.
Can Rogaine be used more than twice a day?
Will it work faster if I do that?
No. Rogaine should only be applied to the scalp twice a day.
Added applications of Rogaine will not make the hair grow faster or
better. Research has shown that twice daily is the most effective
dose of the medication to use.
Will Rogaine thicken hair and give it more
body?
Yes.
Does re-growth start as vellus (downy) hair
followed by pigmented, healthy hair?
Yes
How soon after starting treatment with
Rogaine can results be expected?
The response to hair growth differs widely in patients receiving
Rogaine treatment. Response usually occurs four to six months after
the treatment has started. Patients receiving Rogaine should be
patient, and not expect the use of Rogaine to make hair re-grow in a
short period of time.
Will Rogaine grow hair on everyone who is
bald?
No. There are several factors that can influence the growth of
hair with Rogaine treatment. These include the length of time the
person has suffered hair loss or baldness, the specific type of
baldness on the scalp, whether on the front of the scalp or on the
crown of the head, and the person's age and physical health.
Even if Rogaine does not cause new hair
growth, will it prevent baldness?
Results of patient questionnaires indicate that the rate of
baldness progression may be stopped by the use of Rogaine.
If there is no response to Rogaine, when
should the treatment be stopped?
After six or seven months.
Each bottle of Rogaine contains a one month supply (60 mls).

Male Studies
Clinical studies were conducted by dermatologists at 27 US
medical centers involving over 2,300 patients with male pattern
baldness on the top (vertex) of the head.
At the end of 4 months, hair counts showed that, on average,
patients using Rogaine had significantly more hair re-growth than
those who used a placebo (a similar solution without Minoxidil, the
active ingredient in Rogaine).
Based on patients' self-evaluations at the end of 4 months, 26%
of the patients using Rogaine had moderate to dense re-growth
compared with 11% of those using the placebo product.
By the end of year 1, virtually half (48%) of the men who
continued in the study using Rogaine, rated their hair growth as
moderate to dense. An additional 36% had minimal re-growth, the rest
(16%) had no re-growth.
Female Studies
In clinical tests conducted by dermatologists in 11 US medical
centers, Rogaine was significantly more effective than placebo (a
similar solution without Minoxidil which is the active ingredient in
Rogaine) in re-growing nonvellus hair in women with androgenic
alopecia.
Effectiveness was measured by physician and patient evaluation
and by non-vellus hair counts.
Almost two out of every three women in the Rogaine group were
evaluated by physicians to have re-grown some hair: 13% had moderate
re-growth and 50% had minimal re-growth. The rest (37%) had no
re-growth.
Thirty-nine percent of women in the placebo group also saw some
re-growth.
However, when actual number of newly re-grown hairs in the 1cm
square area of the test were counted after 8 months of treatment,
the group using Rogaine averaged more than twice as much re-growth
(22.7 more hairs) as the placebo group (11 more hairs).

- To regrow hair on the scalp
- It takes time to regrow
hair. You may need to use Rogaine for Women twice daily

degrees of hair loss, the following response to Rogaine
was reported: 19% of women reported moderate hair regrowth
after using Rogaine for 8 months (19% had minimal regrowth;
40% had minimal regrowth). This compares with 7% of women
reporting moderate hair regrowth after using the placebo,
the liquid without the active ingredient in it, for 8
months (7% had moderate regrowth; 33% had minimal regrowth).

You are probably
wondering how we can charge as much as 30% less than our
competition and still be in business, right? First of all, we
run a tight ship. We choose our promotions carefully and ensure
every advertising dollar pays for itself; we streamline our systems
and billing processes; we don't have any frills (like the $5000
office chairs of some of the now bankrupt dot-coms). We also don't
waste money on unnecessary things like toll-free telephone numbers
that are often abused anyway. Over 75% of our business is repeat
customers. Once you buy from us you are most likely to come back
again and again. This allows us to advertise less and therefore pass
the savings on to you.
Second, we're
straight shooters. There are no tricks in what we do, just
good, old-fashioned, reliable business principles. We believe in
the old saying, "You can shear a sheep many times but you can
only skin it once." What's the end result of all this?
Well, we're happy to tell you that we're a small but profitable
company that expects to be in business for many years to come. All
this, of course, is due to value-conscious customers like you.
