Our 8 Picks of Telehealth Companies Offering Hair Loss Treatments for Men

If you’re looking for a place to see a doctor for a prescription to combat your hair loss, or you’re looking for affordable over-the-counter options, Hims has you covered. It offers a range of products and telehealth services aimed at people assigned male at birth in one convenient place. 

You can schedule a free online medical consultation with one of Hims’ medical providers to discuss your hair loss issues and see if you’re a candidate for a prescription-strength treatment, such as as oral minoxidil, finasteride, or a combination of the two (which Hims can ship to you as part of a monthly subscription in a kit that also includes a thickening shampoo). 

If you’re not a candidate for a prescription—or you’d rather skip the doctor appointment—you’re not out of luck, because Hims offers over-the-counter topical options containing minoxidil, as well as a range of thickening shampoos, conditioners, vitamins, and other non-prescription products.      

All products can be purchased individually, or you can choose from one of the kits specially designed by the Hims team to provide the best, most comprehensive hair loss regimen. Free, discreet shipping is also available on all products.

Products at Hims range in price from $15 to $32 each, as well as a non-prescription kit for $37 per month and a Hair Power Pack for $80 per month. Hims’ kits are priced per month and automatically processed accordingly. Shipping is always free, though a $5 processing fee applies to all orders. You can't use flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) funds to pay.

If you’re pretty sure you’re interested in getting a prescription as part of your hair loss treatment, Ro makes that easier and more affordable. You can schedule and see a medical provider right from your phone at this company, then (if you’re approved for a prescription), have your treatment delivered to your home in a discreet package in as little as two days.

All consultations are performed by licensed medical professionals and are completely free, which means you don't need health insurance coverage and there are no large out-of-pocket expenses. Book an online visit and answer questions about your symptoms and medical history. Once your information is reviewed and one of Ro’s doctors or nurse practitioners determines that a prescription is right for you, a follow-up will be conducted via secure messaging in your Ro portal. You will receive your prescription within two-days. That means that the only cost to you is your time and the prescription price, which is, at its highest, only $35 for a monthly supply. Once you receive and begin using your prescription, Ro also offers free follow-ups for ongoing care and medication management. 

Ro offers four hair-loss prescriptions and/or OTC treatments, for $16, $20, $30, or $35 per month. Some orders may be set up on a recurring basis and billed automatically. You can cancel anytime. 

Pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss in those assigned male at birth, which is why Bosley stands out to us: It provides a full spectrum of treatment options. Its prescription-only medication product line, Bosley Rx, is doctor-formulated using a combination of the two FDA-approved ingredients, and clinical trials suggest it can slow down a receding hairline or stop shedding. Get started by filling out an online medical assessment with your medical history and current medications. After review, a Bosley medical professional will conduct a video, audio or digital consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate for a prescription—and if you are, that medication will be shipped out to you the same or next day for free. 

In addition to Bosley Rx, Bosley offers laser therapy, scalp rolling, scalp micropigmentation, and all other surgical hair regrowth treatments at its in-person offices, which are located across 34 states. Check the website to see if a location is available in your state.

The Bosley Rx treatment line has four different treatment plan options ranging from $18 to to $55 per month. 

Let’s address the elephant in the room: In addition to other potential symptoms, hair loss can cause a lowered self-image. "Hair thinning and perceived hair loss also has a very important negative impact on the psyche of the individual. The common emotional aspects associated are self-consciousness, embarrassment, frustration, and jealousy,” one study reported. Telehealth appointments are a great alternative to in-person visits for anyone who is looking for a more discreet approach to hair loss treatment. 

That’s why Sesame stands out to us. It allows you to schedule a live same-day doctor consultation (unlike many of its competitors), so a licensed medical professional can assess your symptoms and prescribe the best hair loss treatment for you. Plus, since it’s a video telehealth service, you can ask all your questions in real time (many other companies have you submit answers to a questionnaire instead of having an actual discussion with a healthcare provider). 

These appointments cost less than $40, and if you’re a good candidate for a prescription, that medication’s price starts at just $5 for a month’s supply (and it ships right to your home). You can also pick what doctor you meet with—their bios, prices, and photos are displayed on the website.

One-time telehealth doctor visits start at $39 and range in price depending on the chosen physician. The prescription price for generic Propecia, including delivery, is just $5 following an official diagnosis. Sesame now offers an optional membership plan for $11 per month or $99 per year which offers long-term discounts on over 120 medical services including doctor appointments. But membership is not required in order to book an appointment or receive prescriptions.    

If you’re not sure you’re ready for medication, you do have other options—and one of those options is Nutrafol, a company that makes hair loss supplements to help combat hair thinning. Made with plant-based ingredients, such as saw palmetto, marine collagen peptides, ashwagandha, and curcumin. the Nutrafol for Men supplement is specifically formulated for people assigned male at birth to address multiple causes for hair thinning such as hormones, stress, nutrition, age, and more, while letting you avoid the nasty side effects caused by other treatments. 

All of Nutrafol’s products undergo rigorous clinical testing to ensure the best all-natural hair regrowth treatment without a trip to the doctor’s office or pharmacy. A recent study found ”improved visible hair growth with less notable shedding based on subjects’ and investigators' overall perception of treatment benefit for men and women of various ethnic backgrounds” with Nutrafol.

The core supplements are available for either a one-time purchase ($88) or by subscription for one month ($79), three months ($224), or six months ($422). Each recurring subscription purchase is charged to your form of payment on file prior to replenishing shipments. Subscription options are also available for supplements accompanied by a booster supplement or serum for a higher price but with the same applicable discount of 10%, 15%, or 20% depending on how many months' supply you order at one time. Subscriptions can be paused or canceled at any time.

Keeps Thickening Duo could be a great addition to your hair regrowth regimen. While medications can slow the rate at which your hair falls out or improve hair regrowth, the hair may never fully grow back or may not grow back as strong. Keeps Thickening shampoo and conditioner are formulated to support hair loss treatment and make hair look fuller, shinier, and healthier. Both products contain biotin and saw palmetto, ingredients believed to nourish and replenish hair.  

While the website makes it clear that the shampoo and conditioner do not promote hair growth or slow hair loss, the lush, expert-designed formula gives you a break from harsh treatments with soothing ingredients that condition the scalp, make hair look fuller, and smell good. Each product is less than $10 for a one-month supply and purchasing together will give you the best deal. In addition to shampoo and conditioner, Keeps has a range of topical hair products formulated to help stimulate hair growth and decrease shedding.

Keeps Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner can be purchased for $22 each for a three-month supply. Every third month, Keeps will charge your credit card on file and replenish your stash with a fresh order for only $5 shipping. 

Rogaine began in 1988 as a prescription-only solution to hereditary hair loss for those assigned male at birth. It became the first topical hair regrowth brand approved by the FDA and then, quickly, a household name when it was offered as an over-the-counter hair loss treatment less than 10 years later. Today, Rogaine can be found at most major pharmacies, grocery stores, and online platforms and has formulas for those assigned male or female at birth. For those assigned male at birth, there are two topical formulas with a 5% minoxidil active ingredient; one is a serum and the other is an unscented foam. If you prefer the discretion of at-home delivery, you can find Rogaine online at retailers like Amazon, Target, and more. Rogaine also sells products on its own website.

Buying the product directly from the supplier is less than $30, but since it's sold by so many retailers, definitely shop around to find the best price near you. That said, Rogaine also offers a subscription program online which offers a 20% savings on all products.
