Active Ingredients

Minoxidil 5%

Indications

Therapeutic group:

Vasodilator, upon topical administration, to treat hair loss.

The preparation contains the active ingredient minoxidil , which facilitates blood flow to the hair follicles of the scalp.

Hairgain Foam is intended to promote growth of scalp hair among healthy men, ages 18-49, in cases of balding of hereditary origin only.

Instructions

Do not swallow! The preparation is intended for external use on the scalp area only.

Topical application of Hairgain Foam to the skin of the scalp stops balding and leads to hair growth in cases of balding in some users of the preparation. This preparation is for long-term use. The hair growth process, just like balding and the hair loss process, is prolonged, therefore, use the preparation for at least two months in order to assess hair growth renewal. If you do not see an improvement after a few months, refer to the attending doctor.

Interruption of treatment may lead to renewed hair loss within 3-4 months.

Hairgain Foam is primarily effective in men whose hair loss or hair thinning is at the front region of the scalp. Users who are young and/or whose balding process began a short time ago and/or whose balding area is not extensive may see better results. If the balding process began many years ago and/or the balding area is extensive, the prospects of treatment are low.

Do not use on areas of the body other than the scalp.

Wash your hands thoroughly before and after using the foam and thoroughly wash other areas that came into contact with the foam.

Be sure that the hair and scalp are completely dry before using the foam.

Take the cap off the canister, turn the canister upside down and press the nozzle to release foam onto your fingers. The required amount should not exceed 1 gram (half a capful).

The foam may melt upon contact with warm skin. If your fingers are hot, wash them thoroughly with cold water and be sure to dry them before use.

Spread the foam on the scalp with your fingers and rub it in by gently massaging the balding areas. Afterwards, wash your hands thoroughly.

The usual dosage is generally:

1 gram (half a capful) on a completely dry scalp, in the balding area, twice a day. Wait at least 12 hours between uses. Do not exceed 2 grams per day. Do not use more than twice a day.

Frequent use and/or use of a larger quantity will not increase hair growth, but may cause more side effects.

Do not exceed the recommended dose.

After using the preparation , avoid washing your head for about two hours , do not use a hair dryer to hasten hair drying , avoid exposure of the hair to the sun.

Do not place your head on a pillow for at least one hour after application on the scalp.

The hair growth process is slow and prolonged. You may need to use the preparation twice a day for at least 8 weeks, before seeing hair regrowth. The initial hair growth will be soft and downy, but with continued treatment, will look like normal hair. After the hair begins to grow, continue treatment twice a day, so that the hair growth with continue.

If there is no improvement after 16 weeks, stop the treatment. The effectiveness of the preparation in clinical trials was not tested beyond 16 weeks.

Adhere to the treatment according to the instructions. Interruption of treatment will most likely lead to loss of the hair that has grown and to renewal of hair loss within 3-4 months.
