Men experiencing hair loss can access prescription treatments for as little as $1 per day, according to a report from the New York Post. The telehealth company Hims offers savings of up to 64% on hair regrowth solutions like finasteride and minoxidil when customers opt for its Subscribe & Save service.
Male hair loss, often caused by genetic, hormonal, or environmental factors, affects a significant portion of the male population. The American Hair Loss Association reports that approximately 85% of men will experience some degree of hair loss by the age of 50. While various treatment options exist, including topical solutions, oral medications, and drug-free alternatives, obtaining a prescription can sometimes be costly and complicated.
Hims aims to simplify this process by connecting patients with board-certified healthcare providers online. Users can complete a brief questionnaire to develop a personalized treatment plan. Some treatments may show visible results in as little as three to six months, the company states.
Among the popular offerings is Hims' topical spray, which combines finasteride and minoxidil. Both ingredients have been clinically studied for their efficacy in treating androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness. For those preferring a different application method, Hims also offers a serum with a dropper. Additionally, the company provides chewable, citrus-flavored supplements called Hair Hybrids, which combine minoxidil and finasteride with other ingredients intended to support hair health.
The Hims platform provides ongoing support, allowing users to message their healthcare providers with any questions. Once a prescription is issued, treatments are delivered directly to the customer's door at no additional shipping cost. The Subscribe & Save option allows for significant savings compared to monthly payments.
