Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to ensure the chosen hair loss treatment is safe and appropriate for you. They will assess your medical history, current health status, and the specific type and severity of your hair loss. Generally, candidates for prescription hair loss medications like Finasteride or Dutasteride are adults experiencing androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). Contraindications, such as certain liver conditions, pregnancy, or specific medication interactions, will be carefully considered by the doctor.

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

Prescription hair loss treatments primarily work by targeting the hormonal causes of androgenetic alopecia. Medications like Finasteride and Dutasteride inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a key hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in genetically susceptible individuals, leading to hair thinning and loss. By reducing DHT levels, these medications can slow down or stop hair loss and, in many cases, promote regrowth of existing hair. It's important to understand that results are not instantaneous; visible improvements typically require 3-6 months of consistent use. These treatments are most effective for preventing further loss and promoting regrowth in areas where follicles are still present but miniaturised. They generally do not create new hair follicles where none existed before.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, prescription hair loss treatments can have side effects. For oral Finasteride, common side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and, rarely, mood changes. Topical Finasteride and Minoxidil generally have fewer systemic side effects, but local irritation, itching, or unwanted hair growth in adjacent areas can occur. It's crucial to monitor your body's response to the medication. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or any concerning symptoms, you should stop the medication and consult with your doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects during your consultation and advise on when to seek further medical attention.
