Price transparency
What hair loss treatment actually costs
What actually drives the cost, what we charge for and what we do not, and why UK law stops any clinic naming a price against a prescription medicine in public. You get your figure in writing before you pay.
Get started →What drives the cost
Four things change what you pay. None of them are hidden, and all of them are settled before you are charged.
Which medicine is appropriate
A licensed tablet and a compounded topical are not priced the same. Tablets are mass-produced; a compounded topical is made to order for you, which costs more to produce and is priced accordingly.
How many months you buy
Longer supplies bring the monthly equivalent down. The step down is larger at six and twelve months than at three. One item is sold in a single fixed pack size, which works out at around two months at the standard dose.
Whether you want a rolling plan
Some items are available on a rolling monthly basis you can cancel at any time. Others are bought as a supply. Which applies is set out with your quote.
Postage
A flat charge per order to any UK address, whatever the quantity, shown to you before you pay. Offshore addresses cost more to send to and are quoted separately.
Why there is no price list here
Prescription-only medicines cannot be advertised to the public in the UK. Regulation 279 of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 restricts naming a prescription-only medicine alongside a price in public-facing material, and it applies to every UK provider. We give you the exact figure in writing after a GMC-registered doctor has reviewed your assessment, and you are charged only if treatment is approved and you decide to go ahead.
Cost questions, answered straight
How much does hair loss treatment cost in the UK?
It depends on which medicine is appropriate for you, whether it is a licensed tablet or a compounded topical made to order, and how many months you buy at once. Compounded topicals cost more than mass-produced tablets because each bottle is made for you. We give you the exact figure in writing after the clinical review, before you are asked to pay anything, and there is no separate consultation fee.
Why are some clinics cheaper than this?
Mostly because they are selling a product rather than a service. The cheapest subscriptions buy you a generic medicine and a questionnaire signed off remotely. What you pay more for here is a named GMC-registered doctor reviewing your case against your history, scheduled follow-up, and a CQC-registered clinical provider behind the prescription. Whether that is worth the difference is a fair question, and the honest answer is that for a straightforward case it may not be.
Do I pay before or after the clinical review?
After. You complete the assessment for free, a doctor reviews it, and you are only charged if treatment is approved and you choose to go ahead. Nobody is charged for being turned down.
Is it cheaper to buy several months at once?
Yes for most items. Longer supplies bring the monthly equivalent down, and the discount is larger at six and twelve months than at three. One item is sold in a single fixed pack size, which works out at roughly two months at the standard dose. Your options and what each one costs are set out in full once a clinician has confirmed what is suitable.
Why are prices not listed on this page?
Because prescription-only medicines cannot be advertised to the public in the UK. Regulation 279 of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 restricts naming a prescription-only medicine alongside a price in public-facing material, and that restriction applies to every UK provider, not just to us. Anyone showing you a price for a named prescription medicine before any clinical assessment is not following it. You get the full price in writing before you commit to anything.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. The figure quoted after your review is the figure charged, plus a flat postage charge per order that is shown to you before you pay. Blood tests, where a clinician thinks they are needed, are arranged through WMG Healthcare and quoted separately before anything is booked.
