Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Minoxidil is right for you. Generally, Minoxidil is prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health status, and the extent of your hair loss. They will consider any contraindications, such as scalp conditions, heart disease, or certain medications you might be taking. Minoxidil is not suitable for everyone, and the doctor's review ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical medication that helps stimulate hair growth. While the exact mechanism is not fully understood, it is believed to increase blood flow to your hair follicles, delivering more oxygen and nutrients. This helps to prolong the growth phase of your hair cycle and may increase the size of shrinking hair follicles. What Minoxidil doesn't do is cure the underlying cause of genetic hair loss; it manages the symptoms. You must use it consistently to maintain results. Most patients begin to see initial changes, like reduced shedding, within 2–8 weeks. Visible hair regrowth typically appears after 3–6 months of consistent daily use, with the best results often seen after 6–12 months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil can have side effects, though most are mild. Common side effects include scalp irritation, redness, itching, or dryness. Some users experience an initial increase in hair shedding during the first few weeks; this is usually temporary and a sign that the medication is working by pushing out old hairs to make way for new growth. Less common side effects can include unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body if the medication spreads. You should stop using Minoxidil and consult a doctor immediately if you experience dizziness, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, swelling in hands or feet, or unexplained weight gain, as these could indicate more serious issues.
