ROGAINE

Judge for Yourself
OK, you probably don’t spend a lot of time looking at other guys, but here’s one time when you should. The photos on this page are of real Men’s Rogaine Extra Strength users. They’re living proof that Rogaine revitalizes hair follicles to re-grow hair.

Rogaine works in your scalp to enlarge your hair follicles and stimulate hair regrowth. Here are two examples of how Rogaine worked for most men with moderate degrees of hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) that used Rogaine for just 48 weeks in our clinical studies. Remember, individual results with Rogaine vary, although most men respond to its use. You may get better results if you have been losing hair for a shorter period of time or have little hair loss. Be sure to use Rogaine only as directed.

Why you need to stick with Rogaine to see results
Why do you need to use Rogaine for two to four months before seeing results? It's like an exercise program. You don't run 10 miles your first day. It takes time to build muscle. It's the same with your hair.

If your hair is thinning, it's because the hair follicles in your scalp have been shrinking for years. That's where Rogaine works — inside your scalp — to revitalize hair follicles and stimulate hair growth. That's also why you need to stick with it for at least four months. If you use Rogaine twice a day, every day, you should see results by then, or maybe sooner. Use the Rogaine Results program to help keep you on track.

Hairstyling with Rogaine
Thinking of using other hair care products with Men’s Rogaine Extra Strength. Hair sprays, spritz, and styling aids will work just fine. Just follow these helpful suggestions. Remember, it’s important to give Rogaine time to work before you apply styling aids.

• After your morning application, wait 20 to 25 minutes before using styling aids.
• Wait four hours before you shampoo your hair or go swimming. It needs time to be absorbed into your scalp and shouldn't be washed off.
• To avoid irritation if you color, perm, or treat your hair with chemicals, don’t use Rogaine the same day. It's OK to skip one day and resume your regular routine the next day.

Rogaine Scientific Studies
In one scientific study after another, Rogaine has been proven to work. The studies show that Rogaine regrows hair in most men, that men who start using it at the first sign of hair loss have better chances of seeing results, and the Men’s Rogaine Extra Strength regrows more hair than Men’s Rogaine Regular Strength. So, what are you waiting for?

Proof: Rogaine works
Elise A. Olsen, M.D. Published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 47(3), 2002, pages 377-385.

This study demonstrated that for many men with hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), the 5% topical minoxidil in Men's Rogaine Extra Strength worked even better in stimulating hair regrowth than the 2% topical minoxidil used in Men's Rogaine Regular Strength.

For this study, over 300 men aged 18 to 49 participated in a 48-week trial. One group applied Men's Rogaine Extra Strength (5% minoxidil topical solution) to the scalp twice a day, a second group used Men's Rogaine Regular Strength (2% minoxidil topical solution), and a third group applied a placebo liquid (a solution that had no hair regrowth ingredient).

Results showed:

1. After 48 weeks of treatment, Men's Rogaine Extra Strength produced 45% more regrowth than was seen with Men's Rogaine Regular Strength.
2. Based on scalp appearance, both patients and doctors rated Men's Rogaine Extra Strength more effective in regrowing hair.
3. New hairs began to grow earlier with Men's Rogaine Extra Strength.
4. Both Men's Rogaine Extra Strength and Men's Rogaine Regular Strength worked better than the placebo solution (the solution that had no hair regrowth ingredient) in promoting hair growth.
5. Only a small percentage of Men's Rogaine Extra Strength users, 6%, experienced scalp itching or irritation. This occurrence was slightly more frequent than it was in those men using Men's Rogaine Regular Strength.

Study: Topical Minoxidil Therapy in Hereditary Androgenetic Alopecia
By Richard De Villez, M.D. Published in the Archives of Dermatology, 121(2), 1985, pages 197-202.

This study was conducted on men with hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). The men applied topical minoxidil, the active ingredient in Men's Rogaine, to the balding patch on the back of their head, where hair could be counted and photographed. The study demonstrated not only that Rogaine works, but also that men who use it earlier in their hair loss process can expect a better chance of success.

Results showed:

1. More than 55% of the men in the study regrew hair.
2. Additionally, the men who were most likely to respond to Rogaine:
   • Had been experiencing hair loss for less than 10 years
   • Had a balding area that was less than 4 inches across
   • Had more hairs in the center of the balding area
