The $1-a-day loophole men use to get prescription hair loss treatment and beat balding
Ready to beat balding on a budget?You’re probably not alone.Male hair loss can be caused by a variety of genetic, hormonal and even environmental factors, and it’s far from uncommon.
About 85% of men will experience some hair loss by age 50, according to the American Hair Loss Association.Fortunately, there are plenty of treatment options available, from prescription-strength finasteride and minoxidil sprays and capsules to drug-free options, pricier red light therapy helmets and everything in between.The catch? Getting a prescription can be complicated — and expensive.
But some men have found a workaround: Hims offers prescription hair loss treatments starting at $1/day, with savings of up to 64% when you select Subscribe & Save compared with paying month-to-month.And you don’t need insurance to get started.The direct-to-consumer telehealth company connects patients with vetted, board-certified healthcare providers who help build a treatment plan tailored to their hair loss concerns and needs.
The process is brief, takes place online and just requires answering a few key questions.Some treatments may deliver visible hair regrowth in as little as 3–6 months, according to Hims.There are several treatment options to choose from, but one of the most popular is Hims’ topical finasteride and minoxidil spray.
Both medications have been clinically studied and are used to treat androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern hair loss.The combination spray format is simple and convenient to use: just apply it directly to the scalp once a day.Or for those looking for a more precise application method, Hims also offers a minoxidil and finasteride serum with an included dropper.
Hims also offers Hair Hybrids, which take hair loss treatment a step further by combining minoxidil and finasteride in a chewable, citrus-flavored supplement format.Each tablet also includes a proprietary blend of ingredients designed to support overall hair health.
