Yes, telehealth is legal in Australia, and is changing healthcare for the better.
Pilot is an Australian technology platform that connects you to doctors and pharmacists via telehealth.
You know all those forms that you fill out when you get to the GP? And all those questions that a doctor asks you when you sit down? All of them are now done online, at a time that suits you, and then passed to the doctor for assessment.
There are a number of scientifically backed treatments that have been shown to slow or stop hair loss as well as regrow hair. You can read about them here & here.
One study showed that the most commonly prescribed treatment for hair loss stopped hair loss in 83% of men.
Unfortunately the much hyped miracle cure for hair loss is yet to arrive, and most of the things marketed as such out there are just that, marketing.
They keys to success when it comes to keeping your hair are acting early, using the right medications and being consistent with your treatment.
The most commonly prescribed treatment for hair loss works by blocking the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. DHT is the hormone responsible for hair loss in men who are genetically predisposed to lose their hair.
The second commonly used treatment tends to applied topically as a foam or liquid. This treatment increases blood flow to the scalp and promotes hair growth. You can read about the evidence behind this treatment here.
Pilot affiliated doctors treat hair loss in line with the standards outlined by the Royal Australian College of GPs and Andrology Australia.
When it specifically comes to Hair Loss, it is important that the doctor understands important information about your lifestyle, current medications, previous surgeries and how long your hair loss has evolved.
Under Australian law, Pilot is unable to provide information about specific medications available before you have been through a doctors consult, if you are looking for something specific, you can speak to your doctor about individual medications.
The exact treatment and all important information will be shown to you before you commit to starting the treatment plan.
There are different side effects associated with different treatment options. When provided a treatment plan by the doctor, you will be provided with detailed information about potential side effects. It's important to be 100% informed and comfortable about what you take.
If at anytime you experience side effects while on a treatment plan you will be able to connect with your doctor to discuss options and potential alternative courses of treatment.
There is a one-off $20 cost for the doctors consultation.
The cost of treatment programs provided through Pilot vary, but start out at less than $2 per use. To save on shipping fees and the hassle of receiving a package every month, our partner pharmacies ship your products every 2 months, but you can pause this at any time.
A Pilot partner pharmacy will send a trackable shipment via AusPost within 3 days of your doctor's consultation.
The reality is that Australia's hair loss industry exploits blokes who are worried about losing their hair, and they do this in a few ways –
Pilot doctors use the same main treatments as the clinics
(and none of the controversial lasers or hair pieces)

I’ve used the hair loss treatment and I’m really seeing results without having to pay a fortune with other companies which charge a hell of a lot more for the same treatment.
I have used this treatment for at least 8 months and will continue to do so.
I was seeking some treatment for hair loss, but was always busy with work. After answering some simple questions, the GP prescribed the treatment, which was shipped to me a few days later. Simple and easy.
I had been to Ashley and Martin when I first noticed my hair loss but luckily bailed in the cooling off period of the contract because I found pilot. The website is easy to use and convenient, although maybe in the future you could have an app?
