Who qualifies for finasteride or minoxidil
Our EU-licensed doctors review each case to ensure finasteride or minoxidil is a safe and appropriate treatment for you. Generally, finasteride is prescribed for male pattern baldness, while minoxidil can be used by both men and women. The doctor will assess your medical history, current health conditions, and specific hair loss pattern. Contraindications, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or certain liver conditions, will be carefully considered. The doctor looks for clear indications of androgenetic alopecia and ensures no underlying health issues make the treatment unsuitable.
What finasteride and minoxidil actually do (and doesn't do)
Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in male pattern baldness. This helps to slow down hair loss and can promote regrowth of existing hair. You typically start seeing results within 3-6 months, with full effects often appearing after 12 months. It primarily targets the crown and mid-scalp areas.
Minoxidil is a topical solution that stimulates hair growth by increasing blood flow to the scalp and prolonging the growth phase of hair follicles. It can be effective for both men and women, often showing results in 2-4 months, with continued improvement over a year. Minoxidil works best on the crown but can be used for overall thinning.
Neither medication offers an overnight cure, and consistency is key. They do not reverse advanced baldness or treat hair loss caused by other medical conditions.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, finasteride and minoxidil can have side effects. For finasteride, common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory dysfunction. Less common but more serious side effects include depression and male breast cancer. If you experience persistent sexual side effects, mood changes, or any unusual breast changes, you should stop the medication and consult a doctor immediately.
For minoxidil, common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, and unwanted facial hair growth. More rarely, it can cause dizziness, rapid heartbeat, or swelling of hands and feet. If you experience severe scalp irritation, chest pain, or any signs of an allergic reaction, stop use and seek medical attention.
Our doctors will discuss these potential side effects during your consultation and advise you when to seek further medical attention.
