Rogaine

Rogaine, also known as minoxidil, is a topical treatment used to stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss, primarily for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness). Applied directly to the scalp, it works by increasing blood flow to hair follicles, which can revive miniaturized follicles and promote new hair growth. It is suitable for both men and women, available over-the-counter in various strengths. While effective for some users, results vary, and continued use is necessary to maintain hair regrowth. Rogaine is generally well-tolerated, but some may experience scalp irritation or unwanted hair growth in adjacent areas.
