Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to determine if medications like Finasteride, Dutasteride, or Minoxidil are suitable for you. They look for specific patterns of hair loss, your medical history, and any potential contraindications. Generally, these treatments are for men experiencing male-pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Women may also be considered for minoxidil. The doctor ensures the treatment is safe and appropriate for your health profile before issuing a prescription.

What hair loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride and Dutasteride work by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, these medications help to stop further hair loss and can, in many cases, promote regrowth of existing hair. Minoxidil is a topical solution that stimulates hair follicles, promoting blood flow to the scalp and extending the growth phase of hair. It doesn't affect hormones but directly encourages hair growth. It's important to understand that these treatments are not a cure for baldness; they manage the condition. Consistent use is key, and results typically appear after 3–6 months, with full effects seen at 12 months. They do not work for all types of hair loss, and individual results vary.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. Minoxidil can cause scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body if applied incorrectly. Finasteride and Dutasteride may cause sexual side effects in a small percentage of men, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation disorders. Rarely, other side effects like mood changes or breast tenderness can occur. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, or if side effects persist, you should stop the medication and consult with a doctor immediately. Our doctors provide private, RGPD-compliant chat support within your Hi-Doctor account to address any concerns.
