Who qualifies for hair loss treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine if treatments like Finasteride or Minoxidil are appropriate. They look for specific criteria, including the type and pattern of your hair loss, your medical history, and any potential contraindications. Generally, these treatments are for androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). The doctor will consider your overall health to ensure the medication is safe and effective for you.

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

Common hair loss treatments like Finasteride and Minoxidil work through different mechanisms to combat hair loss. Finasteride, often prescribed for male pattern baldness, works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles. Minoxidil, available for both men and women, is a topical solution that helps stimulate hair growth and slow balding by widening blood vessels and increasing blood flow to hair follicles. It's important to understand these treatments typically slow down hair loss and promote regrowth, but they are not a cure and require consistent use for results. Realistic timelines for visible improvement usually range from 3 to 6 months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Finasteride and Minoxidil can have side effects. Common side effects for Finasteride may include sexual side effects like decreased libido or erectile dysfunction, though these are rare. Minoxidil can cause scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body. It's crucial to be aware of these potential effects. Should you experience any severe or concerning side effects, or if your hair loss worsens, you should stop treatment and consult with a doctor immediately. Our Hi-Doctor platform allows for private, auditable chat with your doctor if you have any concerns during your treatment.
