Who qualifies for hair loss treatment
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you. They look for specific criteria, including your medical history, current health status, and the type and extent of your hair loss. Generally, treatments like oral Finasteride or Dutasteride are for men with male pattern baldness, while Minoxidil can be used by both men and women. The doctor considers potential contraindications and any medications you are currently taking to determine if these treatments are appropriate for your specific situation.
What hair loss treatments actually do (and don't do)
Hair loss treatments like Finasteride and Dutasteride work by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to hair loss in genetically predisposed men. Oral or topical Minoxidil, on the other hand, works by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which helps to increase blood flow to hair follicles and stimulate hair growth. These treatments aim to slow down hair loss, promote new hair growth, and thicken existing hair. Realistic timelines for results typically involve several months of consistent use before significant improvements are noticeable. They do not cure the underlying cause of genetic hair loss, and continued use is necessary to maintain results. They are not effective for all types of hair loss, such as alopecia areata, which requires different approaches.
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, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders, though these are rare and often reversible upon stopping the medication. Minoxidil may cause scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted hair growth in other areas. It's important to be aware of these potential side effects and to discuss any concerns with your doctor. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or any concerning symptoms, you should stop the medication and consult your doctor immediately. Your EU-licensed Hi-Doctor will provide comprehensive guidance during your consultation.
