Who qualifies for hair loss treatment
When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor through Hi-Doctor.ai, they assess your eligibility based on your medical history and the specific hair loss treatment. The doctor looks for common male and female pattern baldness, and assesses the stage of your hair loss. They consider potential contraindications, such as certain medical conditions or medications you may be taking, to ensure the chosen treatment is safe and effective for you. The goal is to provide a personalized treatment plan if the doctor finds it appropriate.
What hair loss treatments actually do (and don't do)
Current doctor-prescribed hair loss treatments, such as Finasteride, Dutasteride, and Minoxidil, work by targeting the underlying causes of hair loss. Finasteride and Dutasteride inhibit the production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in male pattern baldness. Minoxidil, on the other hand, is a vasodilator that helps stimulate hair growth by increasing blood flow to the scalp and extending the growth phase of hair follicles. These treatments can slow down hair loss, promote regrowth, and improve hair density. They do not, however, offer a permanent cure for baldness, and consistent use is typically required to maintain results.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects for Finasteride and Dutasteride can include sexual side effects such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction, though these are typically rare and often reversible upon discontinuation. Minoxidil can cause scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted facial hair growth. It's crucial to discuss all potential side effects with your doctor. You should stop treatment and consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions, chest pain, dizziness, or any other concerning symptoms not listed as typical side effects. Your Hi-Doctor.ai physician will provide comprehensive guidance on what to expect and when to seek further advice.
