Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Minoxidil is primarily used to treat pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in both men and women. When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for specific criteria. This includes your medical history, any existing conditions, current medications, and the nature of your hair loss. Minoxidil is generally not recommended for sudden, patchy, or unexplained hair loss. The doctor will ensure there are no contraindications that could make Minoxidil unsafe or ineffective for you.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical medication that works by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which allows more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to reach the hair follicles. This can stimulate hair growth and increase the size of hair follicles, leading to thicker hair. It's important to understand that Minoxidil does not cure baldness; it helps to prevent further hair loss and can promote regrowth in areas where hair is thinning. Realistic timelines for seeing results are typically 3-6 months of consistent use, with peak effects often visible after 12 months. It is most effective for recent hair loss and less so for long-standing baldness.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil can have side effects. Common side effects include irritation, dryness, itching, or flaking on the scalp. Some users may experience initial increased hair shedding, often called 'shedding phase', which usually subsides within a few weeks. Less common but more serious side effects can include unwanted facial hair growth, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, or swelling of the hands or feet. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or signs of an allergic reaction, you should stop using Minoxidil and consult a doctor immediately. The doctor reviewing your case will discuss potential side effects specific to your health profile.
