How it works — get your hair loss treatment prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill out a brief online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.

3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU (e.g., Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland) to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully evaluate each patient's medical history to ensure the prescribed hair loss treatment is safe and effective. They look for specific criteria, including:

• Type of hair loss: Diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).
• Medical history: Absence of contraindications such as severe liver disease, certain heart conditions, or allergies to the medication's active ingredients (e.g., finasteride, minoxidil).
• Current medications: Review of any other drugs you are taking to avoid adverse interactions.
• For women: Pregnancy or breastfeeding status, as certain medications like finasteride are contraindicated.

The doctor's assessment ensures your safety and the appropriateness of the treatment.

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

Hair loss treatments, such as those containing finasteride or minoxidil, work by targeting different aspects of hair growth:

• Finasteride: This medication works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles in genetically susceptible individuals. It helps slow down hair loss and, in many cases, promotes regrowth.
• Minoxidil: Available topically or orally (off-label), minoxidil is a vasodilator that improves blood flow to hair follicles, stimulating them into the growth phase and widening existing follicles.

Realistic timelines: Results are not immediate. You typically need to use the treatment consistently for 3-6 months before noticing visible changes, with full results often seen after 12 months. It primarily works to prevent further hair loss and encourage regrowth in areas where follicles are still active but miniaturized. It will not regrow hair in completely bald areas where follicles are no longer viable.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. It's crucial to be aware of these and consult your doctor if they occur.

• Finasteride: Potential side effects include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders, though these are rare. In rare cases, mood changes or breast tenderness may occur.
• Minoxidil (topical): Scalp irritation, dryness, itching, or unwanted facial hair growth if applied incorrectly.
• Minoxidil (oral): Low blood pressure, fluid retention, or heart palpitations (especially at higher doses).

You should stop the treatment and consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, swelling of hands or feet, or any persistent and concerning side effects.
