Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors review every case individually. They look for specific criteria to ensure Minoxidil is safe and effective for you. This typically includes a diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health status, and any other medications you are taking. They consider contraindications such as certain heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or known allergies to minoxidil or its components, particularly propylene glycol for the liquid formulation. Minoxidil is not suitable for sudden, patchy, or unexplained hair loss.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical treatment that helps stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss. It works by increasing blood flow to your hair follicles, which helps to revitalize them and extend the growth phase of your hair cycle. This can lead to thicker, healthier hair over time. However, Minoxidil doesn't cure baldness. It's a treatment that requires consistent use to maintain results. You typically need to use it for at least 4-6 months to see noticeable effects, with full results often appearing after 12 months. If you stop using Minoxidil, hair loss will likely resume.

Noticing changes in your hair?

An EU-licensed doctor can privately review your case and decide whether a hair-growth treatment is appropriate for you. Online consultation for 45 € every 90 days or 35 € one-off, reply within 24 h.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil can have side effects. Common ones include scalp irritation, dryness, itching, or redness. Some people experience unwanted hair growth in other areas, such as the face. A temporary increase in hair shedding can occur during the first few weeks of treatment as old hairs are pushed out by new ones. This is usually temporary. If you experience severe scalp irritation, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or swelling of hands and feet, stop using Minoxidil immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Your Hi-Doctor physician is available via secure chat in your private account if you have concerns.
