Red Light Therapy for Hair Loss

I recently came across a news article written by BBC titled “Hair loss drug finasteride ‘biggest mistake of my life’”. The article highlights the fact that Finasteride has become a widely prescribed treatment for hair loss online, with online platforms making it increasingly accessible. However, the rise of online prescriptions has raised concerns about inadequate safety measures, as many services provide the drug with minimal form-based verification and without proper medical consultation or diagnosis.
This trend is in line with what is happening here in Canada with a growing number of prospective clients requesting prescriptions without undergoing a thorough evaluation. These trends underscore the need for greater oversight and highlight the potential health risks associated with improper online prescribing practices.
The BBC article discusses the issue of the increased use of finasteride and recounts the firsthand
experience of Kyle, who is 26 and from Wakefield. Kyle, who began using Finasteride last spring
and has had his “life has been turned upside down by an all-too-quick decision”. The side effects and potential risks of Finasteride include but are not limited to:
Alarmingly, Finasteride is easily accessible which allows for individuals, as young as 19 to purchase the prescription with minimal understanding of the medication and without adequate consulting to fully inform clients on the risks and potential long-term effects of Finasteride.
In another article by SIDEfxHub in 2020 and updated last year, a young man by the name Morten from Copenhagen, Denmark described his frustration with Post Finasteride Syndrome. We recommend reading the full article here.
“An increasing number of prospective clients are seeking assistance to discontinue finasteride especially folks between the ages of 19 and 30.”
Medi Hair Loss & Scalp Clinic has observed a significant increase in propective clients seeking finasteride prescriptions for hair thinning or hair loss without proper diagnosis. The clinic encourages exploring alternative treatments that provide results without side effects especially for the young adult.
