Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review each case. They look for specific criteria to ensure Minoxidil, Finasteride, or Dutasteride are safe and appropriate for you. Generally, these treatments are for individuals experiencing androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you are taking to determine eligibility. Contraindications and potential drug interactions are carefully considered to protect your health and ensure the treatment is effective.

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

Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dutasteride work by targeting the underlying causes of hair thinning and loss. Minoxidil, a topical solution or oral medication, enhances blood flow to hair follicles, stimulating growth. Finasteride and Dutasteride are oral medications that block DHT, a hormone that shrinks hair follicles. These medications slow down hair loss and can promote regrowth, but they do not offer a permanent cure. Consistency is key: you must continue using them to maintain results. You won't see overnight results; significant improvements typically appear after 3–6 months of consistent use, with full effects often seen after 12 months or more.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dutasteride can have side effects. Common side effects for Minoxidil include scalp irritation, dryness, or unwanted hair growth in other areas. Finasteride and Dutasteride may cause sexual side effects in some men, such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you experience any bothersome or severe side effects. They may adjust your dosage or recommend alternative treatments. If you notice any red flags like severe allergic reactions, chest pain, or rapid heartbeat, stop the medication immediately and seek medical attention.
