Who qualifies for hair loss treatment
When considering a prescription for hair loss medication like finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil, an EU-licensed doctor looks for specific criteria. These treatments are primarily effective for androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health conditions, and the pattern of your hair loss through the online questionnaire. Contraindications, such as pregnancy or certain liver conditions for dutasteride and finasteride, will be carefully evaluated. The goal is to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
What hair loss treatments actually do (and doesn't do)
Prescription hair loss treatments like finasteride and dutasteride work by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that miniaturizes hair follicles in genetically predisposed individuals. Minoxidil, often used topically, stimulates hair growth by improving blood flow to the scalp and extending the hair growth phase. These medications aim to slow down hair loss, thicken existing hair, and encourage new growth. They don't cure the underlying genetic predisposition, meaning consistent use is necessary to maintain results. Realistic timelines for noticeable improvement typically range from 3 to 12 months, with initial shedding sometimes occurring.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. Finasteride and dutasteride may cause sexual side effects (e.g., decreased libido, erectile dysfunction) in a small percentage of men, which are usually reversible upon stopping treatment. Minoxidil can lead to scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted facial hair growth. It's crucial to discuss any concerning side effects with your doctor. If you experience severe allergic reactions, chest pain, or significant mood changes, stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor physician will guide you on potential risks and monitor your progress.
