[Smart Summer Care] Apply Foam Smoothly for Scalp-Friendly Hair Follicle Health

JW Pharmaceutical's 'Rogein Form'

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Hair loss can begin due to strong sunlight or increased scalp secretions, but the main cause is largely the temporary increase in male hormone secretion. Male hormones interfere with the energy production necessary for hair growth and development, leaving hair follicles in an energy-deficient state. This particularly inhibits the growth of hair in the front and crown areas. Although baldness is known to be hereditary, strictly speaking, it is not baldness itself that is inherited but rather a sensitivity to male hormones.

It means that hair loss progresses when an appropriate amount of androgen acts on hair follicles at a genetically predetermined point in life. Recently, the number of people experiencing hair loss starting in their late 20s has increased due to changes in diet, including increased consumption of animal fats, as well as stress. Frequent use of hair products such as wax also promotes hair loss. In the early stages of hair loss, prevention is possible by correcting lifestyle habits and undergoing scalp clinics, but if it worsens, medication or treatments are necessary.

JW Pharmaceutical’s Rogaine Foam is a foam-type hair loss treatment with minoxidil as the main ingredient. It comes in foam form and is applied directly. Due to its formulation, it does not drip, allowing the appropriate amount to be applied only to the needed areas, and it is convenient to use with quick scalp absorption and drying, providing fast effects. The main ingredient, minoxidil, increases blood flow to the scalp, making hair follicles healthy and extending the hair growth cycle.

Rogaine Foam was the first hair loss treatment to receive approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It is the top-selling product in the global market and is the first foam-type topical hair loss treatment product in Korea. It does not contain propylene glycol (PG), which reduces scalp irritation, and is also safe for female hair loss patients to use once daily. It is available over-the-counter at pharmacies.

A JW Pharmaceutical official said, "The advantage of Rogaine Foam is that it can resolve the inconveniences caused by liquid and gel forms," adding, "We will strengthen our position in the clinic sector by creating synergy with our existing products that lead the domestic oral hair loss treatment market."
