Who qualifies for Finasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure Finasteride is appropriate and safe for you. Topical Finasteride is generally prescribed for men experiencing androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). During your online consultation, the doctor will assess your medical history, current health, and the nature of your hair loss. They consider factors like existing medical conditions, other medications you are taking, and any contraindications. The doctor remains the gatekeeper, ensuring your safety and the treatment's suitability. If the doctor determines it is safe and suitable, they will issue a prescription.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a key hormone that shrinks hair follicles, leading to hair thinning and loss. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, topical Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and can promote the regrowth of thicker, healthier hair. It's important to understand that Finasteride is not a cure for baldness; it manages the condition. Most patients start to see results, such as reduced hair shedding or initial regrowth, within 3 to 6 months of consistent use. Significant improvements typically appear after 6 to 12 months. Continued use is necessary to maintain the benefits.

Side effects and when to stop

While topical Finasteride is designed to minimize systemic side effects common with oral Finasteride, some localized side effects can occur. These may include scalp irritation, redness, itching, or dryness at the application site. Less commonly, some individuals might still experience systemic effects, though at a much lower rate. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or any unexpected reactions, you should stop using the medication and consult with a doctor. Your Hi-Doctor physician is available via secure, RGPD-compliant chat in your account to address any concerns.
