Who qualifies for Minoxidil
The doctor reviews your medical history and current health status to determine if Minoxidil is appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including the type and extent of hair loss, any underlying medical conditions, and current medications. Minoxidil is generally considered for female pattern hair loss. Contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, and certain heart conditions. It's crucial to provide accurate information in your questionnaire for a safe and effective assessment.
What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)
Minoxidil is a topical treatment that works by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which allows more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to reach the hair follicles. This process helps to reactivate dormant follicles and prolong the growth phase of existing hairs. It doesn't cure the underlying cause of hair loss, but it effectively stimulates hair regrowth and slows further thinning. You typically see results after 3-6 months of consistent use, with peak results around 12 months. Minoxidil is most effective for early to moderate hair loss and may not be suitable for complete baldness.
Side effects and when to stop
Common side effects of Minoxidil include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, or flaking. Some users may experience initial shedding, known as "shedding phase," as old hairs make way for new growth. Less common but more serious side effects include unwanted facial hair growth, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, or swelling in hands and feet. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, stop using Minoxidil and consult a doctor immediately. It's important to discuss all potential side effects with the Hi-Doctor.ai medical team if you have concerns.
