Proof: Rogaine Works
Study: 5% Topical Minoxidil as a Treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia in Males
By 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:
- After 48 weeks of treatment, Men's Rogaine Extra Strength produced 45% more regrowth than was seen with Men's Rogaine Regular Strength.
- Based on scalp appearance, both patients and doctors rated Men's Rogaine Extra Strength more effective in regrowing hair.
- New hairs began to grow earlier with Men's Rogaine Extra Strength.
- 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.
- 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.
Proof: Rogaine Works. The Sooner. The Better.
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:
- More than 55% of the men in the study regrew hair.
- 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
