Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors assess your medical history and current health to determine if Minoxidil is appropriate for you. They look for specific types of hair loss, primarily androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) in both men and women. Contraindications, existing health conditions, and any other medications you are taking are all considered during this review to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical medication that stimulates hair growth and slows hair loss. It works by widening blood vessels, which improves blood flow to the hair follicles, and by prolonging the hair's growth phase. You won't see instant results. Initial shedding is common in the first few months as Minoxidil encourages old hairs to fall out, making way for new growth. Noticeable hair regrowth typically begins around 3–6 months with consistent use, and maximum results are usually seen after 12 months. Minoxidil does not cure pattern baldness; it manages the condition, and consistent use is crucial. Discontinuing Minoxidil will likely lead to a reversal of any gains.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally well-tolerated, Minoxidil can have side effects. Common ones include scalp irritation, dryness, itching, or redness. Some users may experience unwanted hair growth in other areas, such as the face. Rarely, more serious side effects like chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or dizziness can occur. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, stop using Minoxidil and consult a doctor immediately. Your doctor will provide guidance on managing minor side effects and when to discontinue treatment.
