Causes of Hair Loss in Men

The most common cause of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia - also known as hereditary hairloss.

THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM

  • THE REASON

    A combination of hereditary hair loss factors, hormone activity, and age can result in a shortening of the hair growth cycle and gradual shrinking of hair follicles.

  • THE RESULT

    As a result, each growth cycle produces a shorter, finer, less-visible hair. Left untreated, follicles will eventually stop producing hair entirely.

  • THE SOLUTION

    Minoxidil, the active ingredient in Men’s ROGAINE®, reactivates hair follicles on your scalp so you can regrow thicker, fuller hair.

    THE HAIR GROWTH CYCLE

    Your hair growth cycle follows 3 distinct phases. Understanding this process is the first step towards healthier, thicker, fuller hair.

    • Growth phase

      Every hair begins in the growth phase, which can last anywhere from 3 to 5 years. During this phase, the hair grows at about 1 cm a month.

    • Transitional phase

      Next, the hair enters a transitional phase which lasts around 2 weeks. At this point, the cells at the base of the hair stop growing, just as they would in a healthy follicle.

    • Resting Phase

      Finally, the hair follicles enter a 3-month resting phase. At the end of the resting phase, the hair is shed, a new hair replaces it, and a new growing cycle begins.

          Frequently Asked Questions

          What are ROGAINE® minoxidil products?

          ROGAINE® minoxidil products are the first FDA-approved topical treatment that is clinically proven to help regrow hair. ROGAINE® minoxidil products also help to reverse the progression of hereditary hair loss.

          How do ROGAINE® minoxidil products work?

          The exact mechanism for ROGAINE®  minoxidil products is uncertain, however researchers believe that ROGAINE®  minoxidil products work in part by enlarging the hair follicles and reversing the "miniaturization" process. This miniaturization of the hair follicles is a characteristic of hereditary hair loss and can be impacted by hereditary, hormonal and age factors.

          By enlarging the miniaturized follicles, the growth phase of the hair cycle is prolonged, allowing the hair to become longer and thicker looking. And with more follicles in the growth phase at the same time, your hair coverage will start to look thicker, too.

          Where can I use ROGAINE® minoxidil products?

          • Does ROGAINE® minoxidil products work for receding hairline
            ROGAINE® minoxidil products are approved for men experiencing gradual thinning or gradual hair loss on the top of the scalp. It is not intended for frontal baldness or receding hairline.

          • Does ROGAINE® minoxidil products work for beards?
            ROGAINE® for beards has not been tested in clinical trials.

          • Does ROGAINE® minoxidil products work on eyebrows?
            ROGAINE® for eyebrows has not been tested in clinical trials. Directions specifically state to avoid contact with eyes.

          How soon can I expect results?

          It may take at least 4 months for results to be seen, and your results and success may depend on the proper application and dosage.

          There are a few signs to look for that let you know ROGAINE® minoxidil products are working. During the first few weeks of use you may see a temporary increase in hair shedding. This is a good sign and means that the new growth cycle is beginning, and the lost hairs are making way for the new, healthy ones.

          Eventually, new growth will appear. The earliest hair growth you see may be soft and downy, but continued treatment will produce new hair with the same consistency as the other hair on your scalp.

          Remember, not everyone responds to ROGAINE® minoxidil products and individual results will vary. If hair loss continues after 2 weeks or if you do not see any results after 4 months, speak with your doctor.

          How long should I continue to use ROGAINE® minoxidil products?

          Hereditary hair loss is a lifelong condition requiring continuous use of ROGAINE®minoxidil products. Make it a part of your daily routine - just like brushing your teeth. Apply directly to your scalp - everyday as directed.

          What happens if I stop using ROGAINE® minoxidil products?

          Continued use of ROGAINE® minoxidil products is needed to maintain hair regrowth. While our clinical studies did not go beyond 48 weeks, there is no limit on how long you may use ROGAINE® minoxidil products.

          If you stop using it, the normal hair loss process will start again. You will probably lose your newly regrown hair within 3 to 4 months and will look the way you looked before using ROGAINE® minoxidil products, so you'll want to make ROGAINE® products part of your daily routine.

          If you miss 1 or 2 doses of a ROGAINE® minoxidil product, however, just continue with your next regular dose. We do not recommend that you try to make up for missed doses, and 1 or 2 days of not using a ROGAINE® minoxidil product will not affect your long-term hair regrowth as long as you resume regular use.
