Who qualifies for Minoxidil

When you consult with a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed physician, they assess several factors to determine if Minoxidil is appropriate for you. Generally, Minoxidil is prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness and female-pattern hair loss). The doctor will look for a clear diagnosis of hair loss, review your medical history, and check for any contraindications such as heart conditions, scalp irritation, or allergies to the medication's components. Your overall health and other medications you are taking are also considered to ensure your safety and the treatment's effectiveness.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical treatment that works by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which helps to increase blood flow to the hair follicles. This can stimulate hair growth and slow down hair loss. It primarily works by revitalizing shrunken hair follicles, leading to thicker and longer hair. It's important to understand that Minoxidil is not a cure for baldness; it manages the condition. Consistent use is necessary to maintain results, and it typically takes at least four months of daily application to see noticeable improvement. It will not work for all types of hair loss, and results vary from person to person.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil can have side effects. Common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, or flaking where applied. You might also experience unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body if the product drips or is applied incorrectly. Less common but more serious side effects can include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, fainting, or swelling of hands and feet. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, you should stop using Minoxidil immediately and consult a doctor. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects with you during your consultation.
