Still Using Keeps or Hims?

There's a permanent solution.

Monthly subscriptions slow hair loss. A hair transplant reverses it. Here's the honest comparison they don't want you to see.

The Math

A Transplant Pays for Itself

The math is simple: a hair transplant pays for itself in 5–7 years compared to monthly subscriptions — and the results are permanent.

Why Patients Switch to Crown

Permanent Results

Transplanted hair is genetically resistant to DHT. It grows for life — no pills, no subscriptions, no maintenance.

Lower Lifetime Cost

At $20–$75/month, subscriptions cost $2,400–$9,000 over 10 years. A transplant is a one-time investment that lasts forever.

No Side Effects

Finasteride (used in Keeps/Hims) can cause sexual side effects. A transplant is a local, minimally invasive procedure with no systemic medications.

Real Restoration

Keeps and Hims slow hair loss — they don't bring hair back. A transplant restores what you've already lost with your own natural hair.

High Success Rate

Crown Hair Institute achieves a high graft survival rate, backed by our Crown Promise guarantee.

One Day, Done

One procedure day, then you're done. No daily pills, no messy topicals, no monthly deliveries. Just your own hair, growing naturally.

A note on combination therapy

Some patients benefit from combining a transplant with finasteride or minoxidil to protect non-transplanted hair. Your free discovery call is the place to ask about it — and at your $100 consultation, our surgeons will create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
