Minoxidil comes as a lotion, liquid or foam, normally in a strength of 2% or 5%. The higher concentration is usually only recommended for use by men and is labelled by Regaine as Extra Strength for Men. To have any positive effect upon hair loss, minoxidil must be applied at least once a day, every day for as long as treatment is desired.

Both 5% MTF OD and 2% MTS BID increased the total non-vellus hair diameters at all measuring time points, and after 24 and 52 weeks of treatment, the experts observed improved scalp coverage in both the 5% MTF OD and 2% MTS BID groups. Also, you’re probably less likely to have a “mishap” while using the foam version of the product. Personally, I’ve had liquid minoxidil drip onto my forehead and face on many occasions, flow onto areas of my scalp where I didn’t want it to go, and even gotten the product in my eye once or twice (I may or may not have been intoxicated at the time). The foam is less messy and accordingly a little easier to use for most people. 3.
