Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review every case to ensure your safety and treatment suitability. They look for specific criteria, including your medical history, current medications, and the nature of your hair loss. Finasteride is primarily for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss). Important contraindications and factors that may prevent a prescription include certain liver conditions, prostate issues, and for women, pregnancy or the potential for pregnancy due to risks to a male fetus.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Topical Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which reduces the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp. DHT is a key hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in pattern hair loss. By lowering scalp DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and can promote hair regrowth. Minoxidil, often combined with Finasteride in a spray, is a vasodilator that improves blood flow to hair follicles, stimulating growth. You can expect to see initial results, like reduced shedding, within 1-2 months. Significant improvements, such as increased hair density, typically appear after 6 months of consistent use, with maximum results between 6-12 months. It does not cure baldness and requires ongoing use to maintain results.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally well-tolerated, topical Finasteride and Minoxidil spray can have side effects. Common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, or flakiness. You may also experience an initial increase in hair shedding, which is often a sign the treatment is working. Rare but more serious side effects can include allergic reactions, or, in very rare cases, systemic effects like decreased libido or mood changes, though these are less common with topical application. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, stop using the medication and consult a doctor immediately via your private Hi-Doctor chat.
