Who qualifies for hair loss treatment
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually. They look for specific criteria to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you. This includes reviewing your medical history, the type and pattern of your hair loss, and any existing health conditions. Common treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are typically prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness), but suitability depends on your unique profile. The doctor will determine if medications are appropriate for your specific situation.
What hair loss treatments actually do (and don't do)
Hair loss treatments, such as finasteride and minoxidil, work by different mechanisms to either slow down hair loss or stimulate new hair growth. Finasteride primarily works by inhibiting the production of DHT, a hormone that contributes to hair follicle miniaturization. Minoxidil, a topical solution, promotes blood flow to the scalp, which can revitalize hair follicles. It's important to understand that these treatments require consistent use, and results are not immediate. You may start to see reduced shedding within a few months, with visible regrowth taking 3-6 months or longer. Treatments do not guarantee a full head of hair, but they can significantly improve hair density and slow progression of loss. Patience and adherence are key.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. It's crucial to be aware of these and discuss any concerns with your doctor. For example, finasteride can, in a small percentage of men, lead to sexual side effects like decreased libido or erectile dysfunction. Minoxidil may cause scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body. If you experience severe or concerning side effects, or if your condition worsens, contact your doctor immediately. Do not stop treatment without medical advice, as this can often lead to a reversal of any progress made.
