Who qualifies for hair loss treatments like Minoxidil or Finasteride
Our EU-licensed doctors look for several factors to determine if hair loss treatments are appropriate for you. Generally, individuals experiencing male pattern baldness or certain types of female pattern hair loss are candidates. The doctor will assess your medical history, the pattern and extent of your hair loss, and any contraindications. For example, Finasteride is typically prescribed for men and is not suitable for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Minoxidil is widely used for both men and women. The doctor ensures the treatment aligns with your health profile and specific hair loss type.
What hair loss treatments actually do (and don't do)
Effective hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride work by targeting the underlying causes of hair thinning. Minoxidil, a topical solution, increases blood flow to the hair follicles, extending the growth phase and promoting thicker, stronger hair. Finasteride, an oral medication, blocks the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals. While these treatments can significantly slow down hair loss and promote regrowth, they do not offer a 'cure' or guarantee a full head of hair for everyone. Realistic timelines mean you might see initial results, like reduced shedding, in 2-3 months, with more noticeable regrowth typically appearing after 6-12 months of consistent use. They won't regrow hair on completely bald areas where follicles are no longer active.
Side effects and when to stop treatment
Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects for Minoxidil include scalp irritation, itching, or dryness. Finasteride, while generally well-tolerated, can cause sexual side effects in a small percentage of men, such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction. It's crucial to discuss any side effects with your doctor. You should stop treatment and consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or swelling of the hands and feet. Medical honesty is key, and our doctors will guide you on managing potential side effects and when to discontinue treatment.
