Who qualifies for Minoxidil
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually. They look for specific criteria to ensure Minoxidil is safe and appropriate for you. Generally, Minoxidil is prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness and female-pattern hair loss). The doctor will consider your medical history, current health status, and other medications you might be taking. Certain conditions, like heart disease or high blood pressure, may require careful consideration or make you unsuitable for treatment. The doctor always prioritizes your safety and well-being.
What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)
Minoxidil is a topical medication that helps stimulate hair growth. It works by widening blood vessels in the scalp, which increases blood flow to the hair follicles. This can help revitalize shrinking hair follicles, leading to thicker, stronger hair. It also extends the growth phase of hair follicles. You typically apply it directly to the scalp, usually twice a day.
What it does: promotes hair regrowth, slows down hair loss, and increases hair thickness. You can expect to see initial results within 2–4 months of consistent use, with more significant improvements around 6–12 months.
What it doesn't do: It doesn't cure baldness, and if you stop using it, hair loss will likely resume. It's not effective for all types of hair loss, such as hair loss caused by medical treatments, stress, or nutritional deficiencies. Minoxidil also doesn't provide instant results; consistency and patience are key.
Side effects and when to stop
Minoxidil is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience side effects. The most common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, or flaking where the product is applied. In rare cases, you might experience unwanted hair growth on other parts of your body, dizziness, or a rapid heartbeat. If you experience severe scalp irritation, chest pain, fainting, swelling of hands or feet, or unexplained rapid weight gain, stop using Minoxidil immediately and consult a doctor. Medical honesty is crucial for your safety.
