Who qualifies for male pattern baldness treatment
Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to determine the most appropriate treatment for male pattern baldness. They look for specific criteria, including your hair loss pattern, medical history, and any existing conditions. Treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride are generally suitable for adult men experiencing androgenetic alopecia. Your doctor will assess contraindications and potential interactions to ensure your safety and treatment effectiveness.
What male pattern baldness medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Male pattern baldness treatments primarily work by targeting the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) or by stimulating blood flow to the hair follicles. Finasteride and dutasteride reduce DHT levels, which can slow hair loss and promote regrowth in many men. Minoxidil, applied topically, encourages blood flow to the scalp, revitalizing dormant follicles. It's important to understand that these treatments slow or reverse hair loss; they do not cure baldness. Consistent use is key, and visible results typically appear after 3–6 months, with maximum benefits seen after 6–12 months. Individual results vary.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride can have side effects. Common side effects for oral medications like finasteride and dutasteride can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or, rarely, mood changes. Minoxidil can cause scalp irritation, dryness, or unwanted hair growth in other areas. It's crucial to report any concerning side effects to your doctor. If side effects are severe or persistent, or if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, stop the medication and seek medical advice immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects and red flags during your consultation.
