Does Rogaine Work For Hair Loss?

Rogaine is an FDA approved topical treatment that is clinically proven to regrow hair. The treatment is also used to reverse the progression of hereditary hair loss.

There are several different products available on the market today. Most of them contain 5% minoxidyl - the key ingredient to combat hair loss.

Many men and women have experienced hair regrowth by using Rogaine. The results always vary and are dependent on the amount of hair loss you have experienced and how long you have had hair loss. Typically Rogaine will work better for those that have just started with hair loss or hair thinning issues.

One catch that you should keep in mind is that you must keep using the Rogaine every day or you will lose whatever hair has regrown.

Hair Loss Products

There are so many hair loss products out there today. Selecting one that will work for you can be a little frustrating. These products are not cheap and they all claim to do wonders for your hairloss.

So, how do you select an appropriate hair loss product? There are several factors that you should consider.

1. What type of hair loss does the product say it is for. For example, Rogaine says it is intended for those with minimal hair loss and only in certain areas of the head. If you have significant hair loss in the areas they describe, then this product will probably not work for you. Check out the products website for additional information on the product.


2. Is the hair loss product a prescription drug? If so, you will need a doctor to prescribe it for you. Don't mess around with black market prescription drugs. Who knows what is in these products.

3. Do you know of anyone personally that has used the product and achieved results? This is of course a long shot because not too many people with hair loss are going to go around talking about some hair loss product they used. But if you do hear someone say something, it is a good idea to take notice of the brand he or she used.

4. Check online for independent reviews of the product. Many companies will post review on their website, but we are talking about searching for reviews on other sites. The Internet is a great place to find details on products and services.
