What treatments does a doctor consider for hair loss?
A doctor may consider finasteride (a daily tablet that lowers DHT), topical minoxidil (a scalp solution applied twice daily), or a combination of both. In specific cases, oral minoxidil, dutasteride or a personalised compounded formulation may be considered. The choice depends on your pattern of loss, medical history and the EU authorisation status.
How long does hair-loss treatment take to work?
How long does hair-loss treatment take to work?
Most treatments need 6 to 12 months of consistent use before the effect can be judged. In the first few months, some shedding is normal and means the treatment is active. Visible regrowth is assessed at around 12 months.
Can women use hair-loss treatment?
