Comparing Cost of UGraft FUE Hair Transplant to Costs of Rogaine or Propecia
A Lifetime of Propecia and Rogaine
In Comparing Cost of UGraft FUE Hair Transplant to Costs of Rogaine or Propecia we must consider the lifetime cost of using either Rogaine (Topical minoxidil) or propecia (finasteride). Propecia is a prescription only drug. Depending on your insurance and the pharmacy you go to, the drug can cost anywhere from $60 to $100 for a 30-day supply. Over the course of 30 years, this would add up to $36,000, on the high end. To make matters worse, there is no cheap generic version available, which means the balding are forced to pay this outrageous monthly cost. To lower this cost, some have resorted to getting a generic Proscar prescription (given for benign prostatic hyperplasia) and literally cutting the pill into four pieces, since it’s a 5mg pill instead of one. However, many doctors will not agree to this.
Rogaine (minoxidil) is an over-the-counter fix and is not quite as expensive, but it’s also not as effective for treating hair loss as Propecia. A month’s supply of Rogaine runs $20 to $30. On the high end, that’s $10,800 over 30 years.
Many people find Propecia and Rogaine eventually stop working after ten or so years. Thus, many wouldn’t need a lifetime supply of the stuff. But what do they do then? Additionally, even during those initial ten years of use both Rogaine and Propecia are proven ineffective at reducing hairline recession and both only stop hair loss, they do not re-grow lost hair. A ten-year bill would be about $3,600 for Rogaine and $12,000 for Propecia, with inconsistent coverage, potential health risks, and non-permanent results.
