Question 1

How do I use Extra Strength Foam?

Accepted Answer

When using a hair loss treatment like Extra Strength Foam, it’s important to know how to use it properly for the best hair regrowth results. Using it properly will also help you to use it safely, which is key when applying any type of hair growth medication to your hair.

To use Extra Strength Foam:

Make sure the scalp is clean and dry
Dispense 3 pumps onto your fingertips
Spread and massage the foam into bald or patchy areas
For best results do this twice daily

Question 2

How does Extra Strength Foam work?

Accepted Answer

Extra Strength Foam is effective in reducing and reversing hair loss resulting from male pattern baldness through various mechanisms:

Firstly, it dilates blood vessels and increases the supply of nutrient-rich blood to hair follicles. This increases hair density and promotes regrowth.

Secondly, it extends the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle, which is the phase where new hair is generated, thereby promoting growth.

Lastly, it increases hair follicle size and hair diameter, creating an illusion of thicker and fuller hair, which helps combat thinning hair.

Question 3

Is Extra Strength Foam appropriate for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Extra Strength Foam is appropriate for men between the ages of 18 and 65 who suffer from male pattern hair loss. This treatment is not recommended for women.

Before using it for the first time, it's essential to read the Safety Information Page that comes with your treatment, as it provides a comprehensive list of warnings and precautions. You can find additional information by visiting our website.

Question 4

What can I expect from Extra Strength Foam?

Accepted Answer

Since hair regrowth is a naturally slow process, there may be minimal changes during the initial month or two of using Extra Strength Foam. Some individuals may even experience hair shedding during this time, which is a normal and temporary reaction.

Between two to four months, hair loss should decrease, and new hair growth should be visible. Initially, the newly grown hair may be soft and light, but it should eventually grow to be the same as regular hair.

After four months, hair loss should slow down significantly, and the patches of thinning hair should start to fill with thicker and denser-looking hair. Scalp coverage should improve noticeably, and the hair should appear stronger and healthier.

Question 5

How long does it take to work?

Accepted Answer

Extra Strength Foam is our most effective medication for hair loss, with noticeable effects seen in a short period. Consistent use of Extra Strength Foam twice daily should lead to reduced hair loss and/or hair regrowth within two to four months. The most significant outcomes are usually seen after four months of treatment.

It's crucial to note that some individuals may experience slight hair loss at the start of treatment. This is only temporary and occurs because the initial treatment rapidly moves hair follicles through the growth cycle until they reach the anagen (growth) stage.

Question 6

What happens if I stop using the foam?

Accepted Answer

If you discontinue the use of Extra Strength Foam, it's probable that you will lose the hair you regrew during treatment within three to four months. For optimal results, continuous use is recommended.

To ensure you don't run out of your hair loss treatment and stay on track with your hair regrowth journey, we will deliver a new bottle of Extra Strength Foam to you every month. By keeping your supply consistent, you will be able to maintain the hair you regrew during treatment and continue to stimulate new hair regrowth.

Question 7

What if I forget to take it for one day?

Accepted Answer

It's normal to forget to use Extra Strength Foam sometimes, and missing one day won't have a significant impact on your hair regrowth progress. However, it's important to continue using it consistently for best results.

If you do forget to apply Extra Strength Foam on a given day, do not take a double dose to compensate. Instead, simply resume your regular dosing schedule the following day.

Question 8

Are there any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Discontinue use of minoxidil if any of the following occur:

Changes in blood pressure.
Rapid heartbeat.
New or worsening chest pain.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
Unexplained rapid weight gain of more than 2 kg or 5 pounds.
Swelling or puffiness of the hands or feet.
Persistent redness or irritation of the scalp.
Minoxidil can also cause skin irritation such as local redness, itching, dryness, or scalp flaking. If this persists, stop using the product.

Stop using minoxidil if you notice changes in hair colour and/or texture.

If minoxidil comes in contact with your eyes, mouth, or any cut or damaged skin, wash the area thoroughly with plenty of cool tap water to prevent burning sensation and irritation.

Non-scalp hair growth has been reported after using minoxidil. Always wash your hands thoroughly after application and if accidentally applied to other parts of the body, rinse thoroughly with water.

Minoxidil should be kept out of reach of children. If anyone (including a child) ingests minoxidil, take them to the hospital immediately with the minoxidil bottle.

If you experience any other side effects not mentioned here, consult your doctor.

Question 9

Why would I choose the foam over the spray?

Accepted Answer

Foam may be preferred to spray as it can be more subtle and cosmetically pleasing, therefore it’s a viable alternative if you aren’t keen on the spray. They are equally as effective.

Some men might experience skin irritation when using the spay form of minoxidil. That’s because it contains propylene glycol, which is often the cause of reactions or irritation. The foam version of minoxidil does not contain propylene glycol.
