Thinning hair can be caused by a wide range of factors and health conditions, including genetics, autoimmune disorders, hormonal changes or stressors, cancer treatment, damaging hairstyles and more.

If you’re not sure why you’re experiencing hair loss, book an in-person or online skin consult with a licensed healthcare provider. They can help you identify the cause of your symptoms and come up with a personalized treatment plan to prevent hair loss and further shedding.

It depends on what’s causing your hair loss. If thinning hair is a result of genetic pattern hair loss, full hair regrowth may not be possible - but some medications may be able to slow the hair loss and help new hair grow.

If factors like stress, nutritional deficiencies, medications, or hormonal changes are causing your hair thinning, this type of hair loss is generally temporary and tends to resolve itself with the right care and treatment.

Yes. If deemed clinically appropriate, an online doctor or provider on Sesame can prescribe medication for hair loss. Any prescriptions will be sent to a pharmacy of your choice for pickup.

Yes, hair shedding is a normal side effect for those who are starting hair loss treatment with Rogaine (topical minoxidil), but don’t worry – it isn’t permanent.

This temporary hair loss happens because minoxidil speeds up the growth cycle of hair, causing hair in the resting phase to fall out before new and healthy hair grows in its place. Lost hair will grow back as the drug stimulates new hair growth.

No. Sesame does not accept insurance to keep prices low and transparent – the upfront price you see next to your provider’s name is the price you pay!

However, you can pay for your online visit using your Health Savings Account (HSA) card or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) card if you have one.

If you do have insurance and are prescribed medication during your appointment, your prescription may be covered depending on your plan.

You will also receive a prescription savings card from Sesame if medication is prescribed. The prescription savings card is often cheaper than a co-pay on your prescription, so we recommend comparing your insurance co-pay to the savings card price before filling your prescription.

Yes! Sesame is available to all patients regardless of insurance status. Simply browse Sesame providers, select a price and an appointment time slot that works for you, and get the care you need without hidden fees or surprise bills.

If medication is prescribed during your appointment, you will also receive a prescription discount card that you can show to your pharmacist when you pick up your medication for even more savings.
