Who qualifies for online hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case to ensure the chosen treatment is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including your medical history, type of hair loss, and any existing conditions or medications that might interact. Common treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dutasteride are typically prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness) or female-pattern hair loss. Contraindications, such as certain heart conditions for Minoxidil or pregnancy/breastfeeding for Finasteride/Dutasteride, will be carefully considered by the doctor.

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

Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dutasteride work to either stimulate hair growth or prevent further hair loss. Minoxidil, a topical solution, increases blood flow to the scalp, revitalising hair follicles. You typically see initial results in 3-6 months. Finasteride and Dutasteride are oral medications that block the hormone DHT, which is a key contributor to hair loss. These can slow down or stop hair loss and, in some cases, promote regrowth, with noticeable results often appearing after 3-6 months and maximum effects in 1-2 years. It’s important to understand that these treatments are not a cure; consistency is key, and if you stop, hair loss may resume. They don't guarantee full regrowth for everyone, but they can significantly improve hair density and slow progression.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, hair loss treatments can have side effects. For Minoxidil, common side effects include scalp irritation, dryness, or unwanted hair growth in other areas. Rarely, some may experience heart palpitations. Finasteride and Dutasteride can have sexual side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculatory disorders, though these are rare and often reversible upon stopping the medication. If you experience severe side effects or any concerning symptoms, you should stop the medication and consult your doctor immediately via your private Hi-Doctor chat. Our doctors will discuss these potential side effects with you during your online consultation.
