Expert view
Sample“Minoxidil 5% is where I start for thinning on top. The hard part isn't the product, it's the routine: 1 mL twice a day, every day, for at least four months before you judge it.”

A wider, see-through patch on top of the head is the pattern minoxidil 5% is proven for.
Is it hereditary?
Hereditary thinning comes on gradually, on top or at the crown, and often runs in the family. That's the kind minoxidil 5% is for.
What it isn't for
This men's 5% formula is labelled for the top of the scalp. It isn't intended for a receding hairline, for sudden or patchy loss, or for women.


A thinning crown is easy to miss: it's the one spot you can't see in the mirror.
Covered by the label
The crown is part of the vertex, the area the clinical evidence for minoxidil 5% covers. A receding hairline is what it isn't for.
Reaching the crown
Part your hair in a few lines across the thin area and apply the 1 mL along them. A photo from above shows you where the scalp shows through.
SampleBeforeAfterSample photos, not a Regrovia customer. Results vary.
More hair on the pillow or in the drain is often the first thing men notice. Whether minoxidil fits depends on why it's happening.
Some shedding is normal
Every scalp loses some hair each day as part of the hair cycle. A steady rise over months, with thinning on top or at the crown, is the pattern to watch.
When it isn't for you
Hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or loss with no family history, has other causes. The Drug Facts say not to use minoxidil then.


Sample photos, not a Regrovia customer. Results vary.
Minoxidil works at the follicle, not on the hair you can already see.
A longer growth phase
The leading explanation is that minoxidil lengthens the growth phase of the hair cycle, so thinning follicles have time to grow longer, thicker hairs before they shed.
More blood flow at the root
Minoxidil also widens the small blood vessels around each follicle. That's thought to help more oxygen and nutrients reach the root.
Know the common effects before your first dose, and read the Drug Facts.
The common ones
Scalp itching, dryness, flaking or irritation.
Keep it off your face
Unwanted facial hair can grow if the solution regularly touches your face, so wash your hands after each use.
When to stop
Stop straight away if you get chest pain, a rapid heartbeat, faintness or dizziness, sudden unexplained weight gain, swollen hands or feet, or scalp irritation that continues.
Minoxidil 5% for men is for one kind of hair loss. Check these before you start.
Men 18 and over
This 5% formula is labelled for men. It isn't for women or anyone under 18.
Not on a sore scalp
Don't use it if your scalp is red, inflamed, infected, irritated or painful, or if you use other medicines on your scalp.
Heart disease
If you have heart disease, read the Drug Facts before your first dose.
Two short stops at the mirror. Dry scalp, no rinsing, and you can style as usual once it has dried.1

The science
Minoxidil 5% topical solution
No one knows every detail of how it works. The leading explanation: it widens small blood vessels around the follicle and lengthens the hair's growth phase, which takes months to show.

Ask us a questionFor many men, yes. Minoxidil 5% is clinically proven to regrow hair on the top of the scalp (vertex) in men with hereditary hair loss. It isn't a miracle: it works slowly, only while you use it, and not for every man. The amount of regrowth is different for each person, which is why we back it with our 120-day money-back guarantee.
Give it time. With twice-daily use, results may show at around 2 months; some men need at least 4 months. Hair grows slowly, so judge it on monthly photos, not the mirror every morning.
A temporary increase in shedding in the first weeks is common. Minoxidil moves resting hairs along so new ones can come through, and it usually settles as they do. Keep going. The Drug Facts list exactly when to stop use.
The most common are scalp itching, dryness, flaking or irritation. Unwanted facial hair can grow if the solution regularly touches your face, so wash your hands after each use.
Stop use straight away if you get chest pain, a rapid heartbeat, faintness or dizziness, sudden unexplained weight gain, swollen hands or feet, or scalp irritation that continues. Read the Drug Facts before use.
It's for men 18 and over with hereditary thinning on the top of the scalp. Don't use it if your hair loss is sudden or patchy, you don't know the reason for it, there's no family history of hair loss, your scalp is red, inflamed, infected, irritated or painful, or you use other medicines on your scalp. If you have heart disease, read the Drug Facts before use. This 5% men's formula isn't for women.
Choose a 1, 3 or 6-month supply and we'll send the next one before you run out. Your next supply ships automatically at the interval you choose, at the subscription price. Skip, change or cancel anytime before it ships. No fees.
