Who qualifies for combination hair loss therapy

Our EU-licensed doctors evaluate each case individually. They look for specific criteria to ensure combination hair loss therapy is safe and effective for you. Generally, candidates are adults experiencing male or female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor will assess your medical history, current medications, and the pattern and severity of your hair loss. Contraindications may include certain liver conditions, prostate issues, or allergies to the medication's components. Our doctors prioritize your safety and will only prescribe if it's medically appropriate.

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

Combination therapy, typically involving finasteride and minoxidil, works by addressing hair loss through multiple mechanisms. Finasteride is an oral medication that reduces the level of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that miniaturizes hair follicles. By lowering DHT, it helps slow down or stop further hair loss and can promote regrowth. Minoxidil is a topical solution that improves blood flow to the scalp and stimulates hair follicles, encouraging them to grow thicker and stronger. Together, they create a synergistic effect, often yielding better results than either treatment alone. While highly effective for androgenetic alopecia, this therapy doesn't treat hair loss caused by nutritional deficiencies, stress, or other medical conditions not related to DHT. Results are not immediate; noticeable improvements typically appear after 3-6 months, with full benefits seen around 12 months of consistent use.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, combination hair loss therapies can have side effects. It's important to be aware of these and discuss any concerns with your doctor. Finasteride can sometimes lead to side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or, rarely, mood changes. These are usually reversible upon stopping the medication. Minoxidil may cause scalp irritation, dryness, or unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or if your hair loss worsens, you should stop the medication and consult your doctor immediately. Our doctors provide clear guidance and are available for follow-up questions within your private Hi-Doctor account.
