Who qualifies for prescription hair loss treatments

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you. They look for specific criteria:

• Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Baldness): The most common form of hair loss, affecting both men and women, where hair follicles are sensitive to DHT.
• General Good Health: You should be in overall good health with no significant contraindications to the medication.
• Realistic Expectations: Understanding that hair regrowth is a gradual process and requires consistent treatment.
• No Underlying Medical Conditions: The doctor will rule out other medical issues that might be causing your hair loss, such as thyroid problems or severe nutritional deficiencies, which would require different interventions.
• For Finasteride/Dutasteride: Generally prescribed to men. Women of childbearing potential are typically not candidates due to the risk of birth defects.

During your online consultation, be thorough in your medical questionnaire. This helps the doctor determine if finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil is the appropriate treatment for your specific situation.

What these hair loss treatments actually do (and don't do)

Prescription hair loss treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil work differently to combat hair loss and promote regrowth.

• Finasteride and Dutasteride: These oral medications are 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. They block the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone primarily responsible for shrinking hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. By lowering DHT levels, they help prevent further hair loss and can stimulate regrowth of existing, miniaturized follicles. You typically see initial results within 3-6 months, with full effects taking 12 months or more. They do not treat hair loss caused by stress, nutritional deficiencies, or other medical conditions.
• Minoxidil: Available in topical and oral forms, minoxidil is a vasodilator. It works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles, extending the growth phase of hair, and promoting thicker hair strands. It does not affect hormone levels. Results usually become apparent after 4-6 months of consistent use, with continued improvement over a year. It generally works best for crown thinning but can benefit other areas.

These treatments require consistent, long-term use to maintain results. If you stop the medication, hair loss will likely resume within several months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can have side effects. It's important to be aware of these:

• Finasteride and Dutasteride: Possible side effects include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and, in rare cases, mood changes or depression. These are generally rare and often reversible upon stopping the medication.
• Minoxidil (Oral): Can cause more systemic side effects such as unwanted body hair growth, fluid retention, and changes in heart rate. Regular monitoring by a doctor is crucial.
• Minoxidil (Topical): Common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, or dryness.

If you experience any concerning or severe side effects, you should stop the medication and consult your doctor immediately. Our doctors are available via private chat within your Hi-Doctor account to discuss any concerns you may have.
