What is Female Hair Loss?

Female hair loss, often called female-pattern hair loss or androgenic alopecia, typically presents as thinning hair across the top of the scalp while maintaining the frontal hairline. It becomes more common after menopause but can affect women of all ages.

Unlike male-pattern baldness, female hair loss usually results in diffuse thinning rather than distinct bald patches.

How Is Female Hair Loss Treated?

At SwiftMedi, we provide two effective topical treatments specifically formulated for women:

Regaine for Women Regular Strength Scalp Cutaneous Solution 60mL

This topical solution contains 2% minoxidil and is applied directly to the scalp once or twice daily. Minoxidil stimulates blood flow to hair follicles, encouraging hair regrowth and slowing further loss. This formulation is designed to be gentle yet effective for female scalp sensitivity.

Regaine for Women Once a Day Scalp Foam 5% w/w Cutaneous Foam 73mL

A higher strength 5% minoxidil foam applied once daily, offering an easy-to-use and fast-absorbing option. The foam formulation reduces dripping and mess, making it popular for everyday use.

How Do These Treatments Work?

Minoxidil promotes hair growth by improving blood circulation around the hair follicles and prolonging the active growth phase of hair. Both Regaine for Women formulations have been clinically proven to help slow hair loss and encourage regrowth with consistent use.

How to Use Regaine for Women

Consistent, long-term use is essential to maintain results. Visible improvements usually take 3 to 6 months.
Apply the solution or foam directly to the thinning areas of the scalp as instructed on the packaging.
For the solution, typically apply twice daily; for the foam, once daily application is sufficient.
If treatment is stopped, hair loss will likely resume.

Side Effects of Regaine for Women

• Common side effects include scalp irritation or itching.
• Rare systemic effects may include dizziness, chest pain, or swelling—discontinue use and seek medical help if these occur.

• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
