Frequently Asked Questions

How much do private hair loss treatments cost in the UK?

Hair-loss treatment through a UK online pharmacy typically costs £10–£40 per month. Generic finasteride 1mg is the cheapest prescription option and requires an online consultation; minoxidil is available without a prescription. Prices are treatment-service prices — consultation where needed, the medicine, and delivery — and vary noticeably between pharmacies for identical generic treatments, so comparing is worthwhile. The NHS does not fund pattern hair-loss treatment.

Do I need a consultation for hair loss treatments online?

Most private treatments compared here are prescription-only, so a consultation reviewed by a UK prescriber is required and suitability is never guaranteed. Always use a GPhC-registered pharmacy and check the premises number on pharmacyregulation.org before ordering.
