FREQUENTLY ASKED
Traction alopecia falls within hair growth, but it isn't always the primary indication of our treatments. The doctor reviews your case and tells you clearly whether Traction alopecia fits our current scope or whether you should be referred on.
An individualised medical review within hair growth, no algorithms. If your case is eligible, we propose a treatment plan with clinical evidence and EU authorisation. If it isn't, the doctor tells you and the consultation is refunded.
The consultation is €25 and covers the questionnaire review, unlimited follow-ups through the private chat in your account if the doctor needs them, and the electronic REMPE prescription (if appropriate) within 24 h.
The doctor tells you during the consultation and points you to the most appropriate route. Hi-Doctor does not issue prescriptions outside the scenarios we can review safely via telemedicine.
Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100% online across the EU, so from Croatia 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.
