Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully evaluate each patient to determine if Minoxidil is a suitable and safe treatment. Here’s what the doctor looks for in your case:

• Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Hair Loss): Minoxidil is primarily prescribed for male and female pattern baldness.
• Recent Hair Loss: It is generally more effective for individuals experiencing recent hair thinning or loss, rather than extensive, long-standing baldness.
• Overall Health: The doctor assesses your medical history for any contraindications, such as heart conditions, low blood pressure, or allergic reactions to Minoxidil components.
• No Underlying Conditions: They ensure your hair loss isn't due to other medical conditions requiring different treatments.
• Age: Minoxidil is typically recommended for adults.

The doctor will discuss any potential risks or side effects with you during your private consultation to ensure Minoxidil is the right choice.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical treatment that helps stimulate hair growth. It works by:

• Increasing Blood Flow: It dilates blood vessels in the scalp, improving circulation to hair follicles.
• Extending Growth Phase: It prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, allowing hairs to grow longer and thicker.
• Revitalising Follicles: It can help dormant or miniaturised hair follicles produce stronger, more visible hair.

What Minoxidil doesn't do: It does not create new hair follicles where none exist, nor does it cure the underlying cause of genetic hair loss. It's a management tool, not a permanent fix. You must use it consistently to maintain results. Expect to see initial results within 3–6 months of consistent use. Full results may take up to a year. Patience is key, as hair growth is a slow process.

Side effects and when to stop

Minoxidil is generally well-tolerated, but like any medication, it can have side effects. Common side effects include:

• Scalp Irritation: Itching, dryness, flaking, or redness at the application site.
• Unwanted Hair Growth: In rare cases, fine hair may grow on other parts of the body if the medication spreads.
• Initial Shedding: Some users experience increased hair shedding in the first few weeks as older hairs make way for new growth. This is usually temporary.

You should stop using Minoxidil and consult a doctor immediately if you experience:

• Chest pain or rapid heartbeat
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Swelling of hands or feet
• Sudden, unexplained weight gain
• Severe scalp irritation or allergic reaction
