Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Minoxidil is appropriate for you. Minoxidil is primarily used to treat androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). Factors considered include the type and extent of your hair loss, your medical history, and any existing conditions or medications. It's crucial that you accurately complete the medical questionnaire, as this information guides the doctor's decision. Minoxidil is generally not prescribed for other types of hair loss, or if you have certain scalp conditions, heart issues, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels in the scalp, which improves blood flow to hair follicles. This increased circulation helps to stimulate hair growth and can thicken existing hair. It's important to understand that Minoxidil is not a cure for baldness, but rather a treatment that can manage and reduce hair loss, and promote regrowth. You typically need to use it consistently for at least 3 to 6 months to see visible results. Initial shedding can occur as old hairs make way for new growth. Minoxidil does not work for all types of hair loss, and its effectiveness varies from person to person. It primarily targets genetic hair loss, not hair loss due to stress, diet, or other medical conditions.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil can cause side effects. Common side effects include scalp irritation, dryness, itching, or flaking. Some users may experience unwanted hair growth in other areas if the product comes into contact with the skin there. More serious, but rare, side effects can include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, fainting, chest pain, swelling of hands or feet, or unexplained weight gain. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, you should stop using Minoxidil immediately and consult a doctor. Our doctors discuss potential side effects with you during the assessment to ensure you are fully informed.
