Online Hair Loss Consultation: How It Works and Why It's Convenient

Searching for a hair loss prescription online from an EU-licensed doctor? You've come to the right place. Hi-Doctor offers a convenient, confidential, and quick way to get an online hair loss consultation. For just €45 every 90 days (cancel anytime) or €35 one-off, an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case. If appropriate, you receive a valid, downloadable prescription within 24 hours, accepted at any pharmacy across the EU. No waiting rooms, no in-person visits – just effective care when you need it.

How it works – get your hair loss prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the consultation fee of €45 every 90 days or €35 one-off. This detailed questionnaire helps our EU-licensed doctors understand your medical history and specific hair loss concerns.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. Our doctors individually assess your information. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your payment is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours. This is Spain's official digital-private-prescription standard.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication. The electronic prescription is valid across all EU member states under cross-border directive 2011/24/EU.

Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors evaluate several factors to determine if a hair loss treatment is right for you. They look at your medical history, the specific pattern and extent of your hair loss, any existing health conditions, and current medications. Common treatments reviewed include Finasteride, Dutasteride, and Minoxidil, often in oral or topical forms. Eligibility depends on the doctor's assessment of your individual case and suitability for these medications, ensuring your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

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

Hair loss medications like Finasteride and Dutasteride work by blocking dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to male pattern baldness. Minoxidil, on the other hand, works by increasing blood flow to the scalp, which can stimulate hair follicles. These treatments aim to slow down hair loss, and in many cases, promote regrowth of finer hairs. Results are not immediate; you typically need to use them consistently for 3-6 months to see initial improvements, with full results often visible after 12 months. They do not cure the underlying cause of genetic hair loss, meaning continued use is necessary to maintain benefits. They also don't guarantee a full head of hair, but rather aim for significant improvement in density and coverage.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. For Finasteride and Dutasteride, rare but possible side effects include sexual dysfunction (decreased libido, erectile dysfunction). Minoxidil can cause scalp irritation, unwanted hair growth in other areas, and rarely, changes in blood pressure. It's crucial to discuss any concerns with your doctor. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or any allergic reactions, you should stop the medication immediately and seek medical advice. Your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor will provide clear guidance on potential side effects and what to do if they occur, ensuring your treatment journey is as safe as possible.
