Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to determine if Finasteride, Dutasteride, or Minoxidil is appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including the type and pattern of your hair loss (e.g., androgenetic alopecia or male/female pattern baldness), your medical history, and any existing conditions or medications. Generally, these treatments are most effective for male and female pattern hair loss. Contraindications might include certain liver conditions, prostate issues, or pregnancy/breastfeeding for some medications. The doctor ensures the treatment is safe and suitable for your specific health profile.

What the medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride and Dutasteride are oral medications that work by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the primary hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in genetically susceptible individuals, leading to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, these medications can slow down hair loss, promote new hair growth, and thicken existing hair. Results typically become noticeable after 3-6 months of consistent use, with full effects often seen at 12 months. They primarily target androgenetic alopecia.

Minoxidil, available as a topical solution or oral tablets, works differently. It's a vasodilator, meaning it widens blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles. This can stimulate dormant follicles and prolong the growth phase of hair. Minoxidil doesn't affect hormones like Finasteride or Dutasteride. It can be used for various types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia, and often complements other treatments. New hair growth may appear as fine, vellus hairs initially, gradually becoming thicker over several months. Neither medication offers instant results, and continuous use is necessary to maintain benefits.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride, Dutasteride, and Minoxidil can have side effects. Common side effects for Finasteride and Dutasteride can include sexual side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders, though these are generally rare and often reversible upon discontinuation. Some men may experience breast tenderness or enlargement. For Minoxidil, common side effects can include scalp irritation (itching, dryness, flaking) with topical forms, or unwanted facial/body hair growth. Oral Minoxidil can sometimes cause low blood pressure, dizziness, or fluid retention. It's crucial to discuss any concerning symptoms with your doctor. If you experience severe allergic reactions, prolonged sexual side effects, or significant heart-related symptoms, you should stop the medication and seek immediate medical advice. Your Hi-Doctor physician will monitor your progress and advise on managing side effects.
