Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine if medications like Minoxidil or Finasteride are suitable. Generally, doctors look for:

• Androgenetic alopecia: This is the most common form of hair loss, also known as male- or female-pattern baldness, characterised by a receding hairline, thinning at the crown, or diffuse thinning.
• Overall good health: Patients should not have any underlying medical conditions that would make these treatments unsafe.
• Age: Hair loss treatments are typically prescribed for adults.
• No contraindications: The doctor will check for any specific health issues or other medications you are taking that would contraindicate the use of Minoxidil or Finasteride. For Finasteride, this includes ensuring it is not prescribed to women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

The doctor's review ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

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

Clinically proven hair loss treatments primarily work by targeting the causes of common hair loss conditions like androgenetic alopecia. Minoxidil, a topical solution, improves blood flow to hair follicles, prolonging their growth phase and promoting new hair growth. Finasteride, an oral medication (typically for men), works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles. These treatments can:

• Slow down or stop further hair loss.
• Stimulate the regrowth of new hair.
• Increase hair density and thickness.

However, it's important to have realistic expectations:

• Results are not immediate; noticeable improvements typically take 3-6 months, with maximum results often seen after 6-12 months.
• Treatment must be consistent and ongoing to maintain benefits; stopping can lead to a reversal of progress.
• They may not regrow hair in areas that have been completely bald for a very long time.

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 know when to consult a doctor or stop treatment.

• Minoxidil: Common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, or unwanted hair growth in other areas if the product drips. Less commonly, it can cause dizziness or rapid heartbeat. Stop use and consult a doctor if you experience chest pain, fainting, or sudden, unexplained weight gain.
• Finasteride: For men, rare side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or tenderness/enlargement of breasts. These are usually reversible upon stopping the medication. In very rare cases, more serious side effects can occur. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must not handle crushed or broken Finasteride tablets due to the risk of birth defects.

Always discuss any concerns or persistent side effects with your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor through the secure in-app chat.
