Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors look for several key factors when considering a prescription for hair loss treatment like finasteride or minoxidil. Generally, candidates are adults experiencing male or female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health status, and any existing conditions or medications to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you. Contraindications may include certain liver conditions, prostate issues, or pregnancy/breastfeeding for specific medications. The doctor's review ensures your safety and the appropriateness of the chosen treatment.

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

Hair loss treatments like finasteride and minoxidil work by targeting the underlying causes of hair loss. Finasteride, for example, inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that miniaturizes hair follicles. Minoxidil stimulates blood flow to the scalp, prolonging the growth phase of hair follicles. These medications aim to slow down hair loss and, in many cases, stimulate regrowth of existing hair. They do not, however, create new hair follicles where none exist. Realistic timelines for visible results typically range from 3 to 6 months, with full effects often seen after 12 months of consistent use. Dedication is key; stopping treatment usually leads to the return of hair loss.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects for finasteride may include decreased libido or erectile dysfunction, which are usually reversible upon stopping the medication. Minoxidil can sometimes cause scalp irritation, dryness, or unwanted facial hair growth. It's crucial to be aware of these and to discuss any concerns with your doctor. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or any allergic reaction, you should stop the medication and consult with a medical professional immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician will provide full details on potential side effects during your consultation.
