Hair Loss Treatment Online
Save Up to $300/Year

Many online hair loss services offer "free consultations" — but the hidden costs add up fast.

These services bundle medication, shipping, and dispensing fees into inflated monthly prices of $30-40/month. While the consultation appears free, you're actually paying $360-480/year for medication that costs a fraction of that price at a local pharmacy.

With TeleTest, you get transparent pricing:

• $49 consultation fee — one-time, transparent cost
• Your choice of pharmacy — pick up locally at regular prices (~$60/year for generic 5mg)
• All formats available — brand-name, generic 1mg, generic 5mg (best value), or topical formulations

Bottom line: A $49 consultation + ~$60/year at your pharmacy beats a "free" consultation + $360/year bundled fees every time. That's $300+ saved per year.

Hair growth is a slow process. Most men notice reduced hair shedding within 3 months. Visible regrowth typically takes 6-12 months of consistent daily use. It's important to continue treatment — stopping will cause hair loss to resume within 6-12 months.

Get a full year supply at pickup instead of monthly refills. Most pharmacies charge $6-12 per dispensing fee, so filling once per year vs. monthly saves you $66-132 annually in fees alone.

For the 5mg generic tablets cut into quarters, a full year is just 90 tablets — easy to pick up in one visit. Combined with the medication cost savings, you could save $300+ per year compared to monthly subscription services.

Both medications block DHT, but dutasteride is more potent — it blocks both types of 5-alpha reductase enzymes and reduces DHT by up to 90% (vs 70% for finasteride). Some studies show better hair count improvement with dutasteride. However, dutasteride has a longer half-life (5 weeks vs 6-8 hours), meaning effects persist longer after stopping. Finasteride is typically tried first.

Yes, we ask for photos of your hairline and crown so our clinicians can assess your hair loss pattern and recommend the most appropriate treatment. This also helps track your progress over time. Photos are stored securely and only viewed by your treating clinician.

Absolutely! Many of our patients switch from other services to save money. Simply share your current prescription or medication bottle during the assessment, and our clinician will review your history. You'll get a 1-year prescription that you can fill at any pharmacy — no more monthly renewals or forced online pharmacy purchases.

Lab testing is optional for most patients. However, some physicians recommend testing for nutritional deficiencies (iron, B12, vitamin D, zinc) that can contribute to hair loss. We can issue lab requisitions if needed — results are typically available in 1-2 business days from any of our partner lab locations across Ontario, BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.

Yes! You can choose to have your prescription sent to any pharmacy in Ontario, BC, Alberta, Manitoba, or Saskatchewan for local pickup. Home delivery may be available where supported. Many patients prefer local pickup at pharmacies like Costco, Shoppers Drug Mart, or Rexall where they can use insurance and shop for the best prices.

No. We don't bill OHIP for our consultations, so there's no record sent to your family doctor or anyone else. Your family doctor won't know that you've used our service or what medications you're taking. Your visit with us is completely confidential and doesn't affect your relationship with your family doctor in any way. You can choose to share this information with them if you wish, but that's entirely up to you.

No. TeleTest uses secure message-based care. You complete a detailed health questionnaire, and our clinicians review your information and respond via secure messaging. No video calls, no phone calls, no appointments to schedule. If your clinician has follow-up questions, they'll message you through our secure platform. Most patients find this more convenient than scheduling video appointments.
