Hair loss treatment cost in the Philippines: every peso, side by side

How to read these prices

Every figure on this page comes from one place in our code, with a source and the month we last checked it. Many are user reports from r/PhHairloss, because Filipino buyers post real receipts there. Some are brand sites or third-party guides. Each table says which. Prices move, so treat these as a guide and check at the counter.

We do not sell any of these products. Minoxidil 6%, oral minoxidil, finasteride and dutasteride are prescription medicines in the Philippines^[3][4]. Talk to a doctor before starting any of them.

Topical minoxidil

Regroe 5% from Watsons and Mercury Drug is the default. At the labelled 1ml twice a day^[5], a 60ml bottle lasts about a month. The 120ml bottle is better value; one user reports it lasts about three months^[6]. Kirkland foam is imported and carries more fake risk^[7]. See Regroe vs Kirkland and the minoxidil guide.

Finasteride: branded 1mg

The labelled hair loss dose is 1mg daily^[8], so a month is 30 tablets. Users report Stercia at Mercury Drug as cheaper than Propecia^[9]. Watsons tags its finasteride listings prescription required^[4]. Read finasteride and finasteride side effects first.

Finasteride: generic 5mg (the DIY market)

Generic 5mg finasteride is made for an enlarged prostate (BPH), not hair loss. It is still the cheapest finasteride in the country, and users report buying it at Generika, TGP and small botikas without a prescription^[10]. The same tablet has been reported at very different prices at two TGP branches, so it pays to ask.

Oral minoxidil

Oral minoxidil is prescribed off-label for hair loss. Reseller tablets are cheaper but often have no clear brand, which users question directly^[12]. Telehealth services include a consult. See the oral minoxidil guide.

Telehealth plans

Telehealth prices bundle the doctor, the pharmacy and delivery. The Dima figures come from a third-party cost guide^[13], the GoRocky figure from a 2024 ad a user posted^[14], and Dailys from its own site^[15]. One user reports paying about ₱4,000 for a Dima order where no doctor joined the consult^[16]. The &you add-on is from its weight loss program, and is listed because users flagged it as a fee they did not expect^[17].

Consults and clinics

A PDS board-certified dermatologist consult costs ₱400 to ₱1,000, or nothing with an HMO at an accredited hospital, users report^[18]. Hair centre packages are a different scale. Users report Svenson packages of ₱46,000 to ₱60,000^[19] and total spending of ₱50,000 to ₱120,000 with little result^[20]. These are user reports, not audited figures. See clinics in our treatment guide.

Procedures: PRP, exosomes and transplants

PRP usually means several sessions, so multiply the session price by the course your clinic quotes. Users see it as an add-on to medicines, not a replacement^[1]. Transplant prices vary widely by clinic and graft count. See PRP, exosomes and hair transplant cost.

Telehealth vs derm vs DIY

A sensible middle path many users describe: see a derm once for a diagnosis and prescription, then buy at a pharmacy and follow up yearly or when something changes. Compare services in online hair loss doctors.

• Ask for the full monthly price, including consult, delivery and any care plan.
• Ask who the doctor is, and check their PRC licence and PDS membership.
• Ask which pharmacy supplies the medicine, and what brand it is.
• Ask whether you can cancel or order once without a subscription.

Lifetime cost: the maths nobody shows you

Minoxidil and finasteride work only while you use them^[5][8]. So the real price is the monthly price times the years you plan to stay on it. Some simple ways to think about it:

• Regroe 5% alone: ₱600 to ₱900 a month. Ten years is 120 bottles.
• Regroe 120ml: ₱750 a month on the user-reported three months per bottle^[6]. Ten years is about 40 bottles.
• Stercia 1mg plus Regroe 5%: ₱1,800 a month plus ₱600 to ₱900 a month. That is 30 tablets and one bottle every month.
• Propecia 1mg plus Regroe 5%: ₱2,550 to ₱2,670 a month plus ₱600 to ₱900 a month.
• A telehealth oral combo: ₱2,997 a month, every month you stay on it.

A transplant at ₱160,000 to ₱200,000 looks like a one-off, but most surgeons expect you to stay on medication afterwards to protect the hair around the grafts^[23]. Add the monthly medicine cost on top. A hair centre package at ₱46,000 to ₱60,000 buys months, not years. Run your own numbers in the calculator above.

Cheaper is fine when it is the same medicine from an accountable seller. Cheaper is not fine when it means a bottle with no registration. Check before you buy with our is it legit guide, and read the side effects hub so you know what to watch for. Start with the hair loss treatment ladder if you are not sure what you need yet.
