Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually. They look for specific patterns of hair loss, your medical history, and current medications to determine if Minoxidil is the right treatment for you. Factors like the type and extent of hair thinning, your general health, and any known allergies or sensitivities are carefully considered. The doctor remains the gatekeeper, ensuring Minoxidil is safe and appropriate for your particular situation.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is primarily used to treat androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) by stimulating hair follicles and promoting hair regrowth. It works by widening blood vessels, which increases blood flow to the hair follicles, delivering more oxygen and nutrients. Minoxidil can slow down hair loss and, in some cases, lead to new hair growth. However, it doesn't cure baldness, and results vary. Consistent use is necessary to maintain results, and it typically takes several months to see noticeable changes.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally safe, Minoxidil can have side effects. Common ones include scalp irritation, dryness, itching, and flaking. Less common but more serious side effects can include unwanted hair growth on other body parts, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, or swelling of the hands and feet. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, you should stop using Minoxidil and consult a doctor. Our doctors will discuss potential side effects and contraindications during your review.
