Hair programme
HELP WITH HAIR LOSS. FROM HOME.
For hair that's thinning or going. Usually hereditary, sometimes a sign of something else. Send three photos and your answers from home. An independent GP tells you which it is and what, if anything, is worth doing. The earlier you ask, the more options there usually are.
€35 for the GP's review, whatever the answer. You pay for a judgement, not for a prescription, so the GP is free to say no. Medication is separate, and only if the GP prescribes it.
- All online, no appointment
- A GP's answer within one working day
- Delivered in one or two working days
- Independent, BIG-registered GPs
- Licensed Dutch pharmacies
- Plain packaging, tracked delivery
- Your answers stay between you and the GP
What happens
THREE PEOPLE. ONE JOB EACH.
You send a few photos and answer the questions. An independent GP decides whether treatment makes sense for you. If so, a licensed pharmacy delivers it.
SHOW AND TELL
Three photos of your hairline and crown in daylight, and a few frank questions. Ten minutes.
DECIDES
A BIG-registered GP looks at the pattern, your history and your health, and decides within one working day.
DISPENSES
If treatment is right for you, a licensed Dutch pharmacy delivers it in plain packaging.
An independent GP decides. A licensed pharmacy dispenses. Frankly organises and follows up.
What the GP looks at
PATTERN, HISTORY, HEALTH.
- The patternWhere it's thinning and how fast. Hereditary loss has a recognisable shape; other kinds don't.
- Family historyYour father, your brothers, your mother's side. It tells the GP a lot about what to expect.
- Your general healthThyroid, iron, recent illness, stress, medicines you take. Some of these cause hair loss and are worth finding.
- What you've triedShampoos, supplements, anything from abroad. Say so plainly; it saves time.
- What you wantKeep what's there, or try to regain some. The honest answer about what's realistic depends on it.
Who it's for
FOR HAIR LOSS. NOT EVERY KIND.
The programme is for men of 18 and over living in the Netherlands whose hair is thinning gradually, at the hairline or on the crown.
It is not for you if your hair is falling out suddenly or in patches, if your scalp is red, flaky, painful or scarred, or if the loss started after an illness, a new medicine or fast weight loss. Those need your own GP or a dermatologist. The Frankly GP checks your photos and answers for this and, if it applies, sends you to the right place rather than treating you online.
Treatment for hair loss can have side effects, and it only works for as long as you keep using it. The GP goes through both with you before anything is prescribed, and says no if the risks outweigh the gain for you.
Pricing

Delivery and payment
Tracked, plain packaging, usually within one or two working days. You pay by iDEAL or card.
Stopping
No subscription and no minimum term. Each repeat order goes past the GP first. Stop whenever you want.
Frank questions
ASK AWAY.
Is thinning hair a medical issue at all?
Most of the time it is hereditary and harmless, and whether to do anything about it is your call. Sometimes it points to something else, such as thyroid, iron or stress, which is why a GP looks before anything is prescribed.
How long before I see anything?
If the GP prescribes treatment, expect months rather than weeks, and the GP will tell you honestly what is realistic for your pattern. Frankly checks in after four weeks and again later. Nothing here comes with a promise.
What if I stop?
The GP will explain what usually happens when treatment stops before you start. No pressure either way.
What does it cost?
The programme fee covers the GP review, your questions, the follow-up and the platform. Medication, if prescribed, is paid separately to the pharmacy at the pharmacy's price.
Is this a subscription?
No. No minimum term, nothing renews on its own. Each repeat order goes past the GP first, and you can stop at any point.
SAY IT ONCE. TO A GP.
Three photos, a few questions, and a GP's honest view within one working day.
