Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully review each case to ensure hair loss treatment is safe and effective for you. They look for specific criteria, including the type and pattern of hair loss (e.g., androgenetic alopecia), your medical history, and any potential contraindications. For men, finasteride is often considered for male pattern baldness. For both men and women, minoxidil can be an effective topical solution. The doctor will assess if your condition is suitable for these medications, ensuring treatment aligns with your health profile.

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

Hair loss treatments like finasteride and minoxidil work differently to combat hair thinning and promote regrowth. Finasteride, an oral medication, works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles in genetically susceptible individuals. Minoxidil, a topical solution, is thought to increase blood flow to the scalp and stimulate hair follicles, extending the growth phase of hair. While these treatments are effective for many, they do not cure hair loss permanently. Consistency is key, and results typically become noticeable after 3-6 months of continuous use, with full effects often seen after 12 months. They are most effective in slowing further hair loss and promoting regrowth in areas of thinning, but they may not restore hair in completely bald areas.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. Minoxidil can sometimes cause scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body if not applied carefully. Finasteride, while generally well-tolerated, has been associated with potential sexual side effects in a small percentage of men, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation disorders. These side effects are usually reversible upon stopping the medication. It's crucial to discuss your full medical history with the doctor. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or if your hair loss worsens, you should stop the medication and consult with your doctor immediately. Our EU-licensed doctors will provide clear guidance on what to expect and when to seek further medical advice.
