Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors individually assess every case to determine if Minoxidil is the right treatment for you. They look for specific criteria, primarily for individuals experiencing androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). The doctor considers your medical history, current medications, and any contraindications. For example, Minoxidil may not be suitable if you have certain heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. The doctor ensures Minoxidil is safe and appropriate before issuing a prescription.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical medication that works by improving blood flow to your hair follicles, which helps to stimulate growth and prolong the hair's growth phase. It's not a cure for baldness, but rather a management tool. Consistent use is necessary to maintain results. You won't see instant results; typically, it takes 3-6 months of regular use to notice visible changes. Hair may initially appear finer, gradually becoming thicker over time. Minoxidil doesn't regrow hair in areas where follicles are completely dormant, but it can significantly slow down hair loss and promote new growth in thinning areas.

Side effects and when to stop

Like any medication, Minoxidil can have side effects. Common ones include scalp irritation, dryness, redness, or itching. Some people may experience unwanted hair growth in other areas if the product transfers. Less common but more serious side effects can include dizziness, lightheadedness, or changes in heart rate. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or any concerning symptoms like chest pain, stop using Minoxidil and consult with your doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician will advise you on what to watch for and when to seek further medical attention.
