Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Minoxidil is an effective treatment for certain types of hair loss, primarily androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness and female-pattern hair loss). During your online consultation, the doctor will assess your medical history, current health status, and the specific pattern of your hair loss. They look for factors such as the onset and progression of hair thinning, any underlying medical conditions, and medications you are currently taking. Minoxidil is generally not prescribed for sudden, patchy, or unexplained hair loss, or if you have scalp conditions like psoriasis or severe sunburn. The doctor's review ensures the treatment is safe and appropriate for your individual case.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which is thought to increase blood flow to hair follicles and extend the anagen (growth) phase of hair. This can lead to thicker hair and stimulate new hair growth. It is most effective for hair loss on the top of the scalp. Minoxidil does not cure baldness; it manages hair loss and requires continuous use to maintain results. If you stop using it, any new hair growth may be lost within a few months. Results are not immediate; it typically takes at least two to four months of consistent use to see noticeable improvement, with full effects often seen after 12 months.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of Minoxidil can include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, or flaking. Less common but more serious side effects can involve dizziness, faintness, rapid heartbeat, unwanted facial hair growth, or swelling of the hands and feet. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, or if your hair loss worsens, you should stop using Minoxidil and consult a doctor immediately. The Hi-Doctor platform provides a private, auditable chat where you can discuss any concerns with your doctor.
