You can get clinically proven hair loss medication through a licensed EU doctor, conveniently and quickly. For just €25, an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, and if appropriate, issues a prescription in under 24 hours.

3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your hair loss medication.

Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to determine if hair loss treatment is appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including the type and severity of hair loss (e.g., androgenetic alopecia, male or female pattern baldness), your medical history, and any contraindications. Common treatments we offer, such as Finasteride, Dutasteride, and Minoxidil, are typically considered for individuals experiencing male or female pattern hair loss. The doctor ensures the treatment aligns with your health profile and offers the best chance for success.

What hair loss treatment actually does (and doesn't do)

Clinically proven hair loss treatments primarily work by addressing the underlying causes of hair thinning and loss. For example, Finasteride and Dutasteride inhibit the production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone that miniaturises hair follicles in genetically susceptible individuals. Minoxidil, on the other hand, works by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which helps deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, stimulating growth.

You can typically expect to see reduced shedding within 1-2 months, with significant progress around 6 months, and maximum results between 6-12 months. Consistency is key for optimal outcomes. These treatments do not cure hair loss permanently, and results vary. They are most effective in slowing down hair loss and stimulating new growth, but they cannot revive completely dormant follicles.

Side effects and when to stop

As with any medication, hair loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects for Finasteride and Dutasteride can include sexual side effects (e.g., decreased libido, erectile dysfunction), though these are generally rare and often reversible upon stopping the medication. Minoxidil can cause scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted facial hair growth. It's crucial to report any persistent or severe side effects to your doctor immediately. You should stop treatment if you experience allergic reactions, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or swelling of hands/feet. Your Hi-Doctor will provide detailed guidance and monitor your progress via secure chat.
