A newer form of Rogaine: Foam
-
Most recently, the makers
of Rogaine have introduced a Men’s Rogaine Foam—the first and only foam
product approved by the FDA to regrow hair.
-
Rogaine foam has the advantage of not having
several irritating chemicals that may make it less greasy. Unlike Rogaine
solution, the foam does not have propylene glycol, an agent that commonly
causes irritation and may even cause an allergic contact dermatitis.
The incidence of chronic itching was 1.1 percent versus 6.6 percent seen
in a separate study using Rogaine solution.
-
With respect to Rogaine foam versus the generic
solution, the foam is relatively easier to use and some professionals
think that the foam is possibly more effective because of the delivery
mechanism.
-
The foam produces better compliance amongst
Rogaine users.
A survey was done among hundreds of men which found that Men’s Rogaine
Foam was overwhelmingly preferred vs Rogaine solution. Possible advantages
of Rogaine foam are: ease of application, lack
of dripping, quick absorption and drying, and ability to fit easily into a
daily routine.

Results From a 16-Week Scientific Study about Rogaine Foam
In the Journal of the American
Academy of Dermatology, a team of researchers report results of a
clinical trial in which 315 men with hair loss were randomly assigned to
5% Rogaine foam or a placebo foam.
After 16 weeks, hair counts in the target area
were significantly greater in the 164 men applying Rogaine foam compared
with the 151 men applying the placebo foam. With Rogaine foam, there was an
average increase in hair counts of 13.4 percent over initial counts,
compared with an average increase of only 3.4 percent with placebo.
Moreover, men using Rogaine foam noted an average 70.6 percent increase in
hair growth versus 42.2 percent of men on placebo.

A useful trick when using Rogaine foam
Make sure that your hands are cold when
applying Rogaine foam. Otherwise, the foam will melt, and will be so
similar to solution form. So just rinse your fingers in cold water before
applying the foam.
