FREQUENTLY ASKED
Telogen effluvium sits within the hair growth area that Hi-Doctor covers. Our doctors review your case individually — not through an algorithm — and propose a therapeutic approach when indicated.
You fill in a hair growth-oriented medical questionnaire (~4 min). An EU-licensed doctor reviews your clinical history, current medication, allergies and background in under 24 h. If clarifications are needed, they message you via the private chat in your account.
The doctor proposes the most appropriate treatment among those authorised in the EU for hair growth. The consultation costs €25; if your case is not eligible, the doctor tells you at no extra cost and the amount is refunded in full.
It depends on the case. For hair growth, reasonable timelines are explained during the consultation and follow-up lives inside the private chat. The full medical record stays in an auditable thread inside your account.
Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100% online across the EU, so from Riga you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The REMPE prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid at any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; outside Spain the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.
Through the pattern of loss, how long it has been progressing, family history and current medication. In some cases we ask for scalp photos. The doctor proposes a tailored treatment plan and adjusts it to your tolerance.
REMPE is the Spanish electronic private medical prescription issued by a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.
