Who prescribes hair-loss treatment online

Finasteride and minoxidil are the two treatments with real evidence, and every provider here prescribes them. The differences are price, formulation, and whether topical finasteride is offered for men who want to limit systemic exposure.

Tools for this decision

How we ranked these

Same rubric, with topical finasteride availability noted because it is the most common reason to pick one provider over another. Facts come from each provider’s own pricing, FAQ and terms pages, with regulator and court records where they exist. Scores are produced by a fixed table, so the same facts always give the same score. See the rubric.

What is the best hair loss telehealth providers provider?

Ro ranks first, scoring 9.0/10 on our six-criterion rubric. Adults who want brand-name, FDA-approved GLP-1s with transparent cash pricing or help using commercial insurance, and who are comfortable with an online, message-based model.

How were these providers ranked?

Every provider is scored on the same six weighted criteria: licensed states (20%), labs included (20%), prescriber credentials (15%), cost transparency (15%), cancellation friction (15%) and formulary breadth (15%). Facts come from each provider’s published pages, checked October 18, 2026. Scores marked * are provisional because one or two criteria could not be verified.

Ro include the initial lab work in their published pricing. The others bill labs separately or did not publish it.

Ro, Keeps, Hims & Hers have a public regulatory or legal record, such as an FDA warning letter or lawsuit. Details and sources are on each review page.

Do providers pay to be on this list?

No. Placement is set by the rubric score. Where a provider pays us a referral fee, its link is labelled “Paid link”, and that does not change its score.
