Rogaine foam, containing minoxidil, directly stimulates hair follicles. It achieves this by widening blood vessels in the scalp, increasing blood flow to the follicles. This enhanced blood flow delivers more nutrients and oxygen, fueling hair growth.
Minoxidil also appears to prolong the anagen phase – the growth phase of the hair cycle. By extending this phase, hair follicles stay in the growth stage longer, leading to longer, thicker hair strands.
Apply the foam directly to the scalp twice daily, as directed. Consistent application is key. Results vary, but many see improvement within several months of regular use. It’s vital to maintain usage for continued benefit, as hair loss often resumes if treatment stops.
Remember, individual responses to minoxidil differ. While it’s shown to be effective for many, it may not work for everyone. Consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional to discuss your hair loss and determine the best treatment approach for you. They can assess your specific needs and guide you on appropriate usage and potential side effects.
