Starting minoxidil at Louave

✦

Consultation

A board-certified dermatologist examines your skin and confirms Minoxidil is right for you.

Preparation

A consultation with a board-certified dermatologist: your symptoms and medical history are reviewed and the skin is examined. A simple scraping, swab or other test may be taken if needed.

Treatment

The dermatologist explains the diagnosis in English and agrees a treatment plan, which may include prescription creams, oral medicines or an in-clinic procedure.

Aftercare

Use treatments exactly as prescribed, finish the full course, and follow the advice on preventing spread or recurrence. Contact the clinic if symptoms worsen or do not improve.
