Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors individually assess each patient to ensure Minoxidil is safe and effective for their specific situation. They look for specific patterns of hair loss, typically androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). The doctor will consider your medical history, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions. Minoxidil is generally for adults aged 18 and older. Contraindications include allergies to Minoxidil, certain heart conditions, or scalp irritation/infections. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are also contraindications. The doctor will discuss all these factors during your private online consultation.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical treatment that helps to stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss. It works by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which allows more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to reach the hair follicles. This process can help dormant hair follicles to re-enter the growth phase and extend the anagen (growth) phase of existing hairs. It's important to understand that Minoxidil does not cure baldness, nor does it work for all types of hair loss. Consistent, long-term use is required to see results, which typically become noticeable after 3–6 months. If you stop using Minoxidil, any new hair growth achieved will likely be lost within a few months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil can have side effects. The most common side effects are local and include scalp irritation, dryness, flaking, itching, or redness. Some users may experience unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body if the product drips or is applied incorrectly. More serious, but rare, side effects can include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, fainting, chest pain, or swelling of the hands and feet. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, you should stop using Minoxidil and consult a doctor immediately. Our doctors will provide full guidance on potential side effects and when to seek further medical advice.
