Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Minoxidil is generally prescribed to treat androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male-pattern or female-pattern baldness. When a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, they assess several factors. They look for a clear diagnosis of hair loss that Minoxidil can effectively treat, and they check for any contraindications. This includes reviewing your medical history for conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, or scalp conditions, and ensuring you are not pregnant or breastfeeding. The doctor ensures Minoxidil is safe and appropriate for your specific health profile.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles, which can stimulate hair growth and slow down hair loss. It prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of hair follicles and can cause miniaturised follicles to become larger and produce thicker hairs. It is most effective for early-stage hair loss and typically requires consistent, long-term use. You usually need to apply it for at least 4–6 months before seeing noticeable results, and continued use is necessary to maintain benefits. Minoxidil does not cure baldness, nor does it work for all types of hair loss, such as alopecia areata or hair loss caused by medication.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of Minoxidil include scalp irritation, dryness, flaking, itching, or redness. You might also experience unwanted hair growth on other parts of your body if the product drips or is absorbed elsewhere. Less common but more serious side effects can include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, swelling of hands or feet, or chest pain. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, you should stop using Minoxidil immediately and consult a doctor. Our EU-licensed doctors will provide guidance on when to discontinue treatment based on your individual response and any adverse effects.
