Question 1

Are Sons products tested on animals?

Accepted Answer

At Sons we do not directly test any of our products on animals nor do our direct suppliers. However some of the ingredients within our products may have been tested on animals by other suppliers. This would not be for direct use in our products but for other companies.

Please also note that at one stage Finasteride will have been animal tested because unlike cosmetic products, which animal testing has long been banned in the UK, pharmaceutical drugs are tested on animals to ensure the safety of humans. Animal tests on human medicines are a legal requirement in almost every country in the world and no new prescription medicine can currently be developed without the use of animal testing. These laws come under the responsibilities of UK Department of Health and the European Union. However again, we would like to emphasize that these studies were not carried out by Sons directly.

Question 2

Are Sons treatments backed by science?

Accepted Answer

At Sons, we only offer treatments that have been proven to be effective under clinical conditions. For hair loss the two main treatments offered, minoxidil and finasteride, have decades of use in a clinical setting. Our gut health supplement similarly has been in use for nearly 20 years, with extensive studies highlighting its wide range of health benefits.

Question 3

Are your products suitable for female use?

Accepted Answer

To place an order, head over to our site and select ‘See treatment plans’ under the category you would like to purchase. From here you can select the plan and delivery frequency you would like. If you are purchasing a product that requires a prescription, you will first have to complete a quick online medical consultation. This will be assessed by one of our clinicians to ensure that you are suitable for treatment and it is safe for you to take.

You can then select your delivery option and complete the checkout process

Question 4

What hair loss products do Sons offer?

Accepted Answer

Sons offer four products in total to treat hair loss, minoxidil, finasteride, shampoo and biotin. These are offered in a variety of different packs dependent on what you would like from your treatment, which can be viewed on the shop page.

Finasteride is a prescription medication which blocks DHT (the hormone responsible for hair loss) and can help to maintain the hair that you have and even re-grow lost hair.

Minoxidil (generic Regaine) is an over-the-counter treatment which increases blow flow and oxygen supply to hair follicles and can help to re-grow lost hair.

Biotin is a vitamin that helps to maintain healthy hair and nails, while our DHT Blocking Shampoo contains plenty of natural ingredients such as argan oil, that help keep you hair moisturised and healthy.

My partner and I are trying for a baby, is Finasteride safe for use?

If you are thinking of conceiving we recommend to come off finasteride for 3 months before and 3 months into conception. Although there is no direct evidence with Finasteride and birth defects, we recommend this simply out of an abundance of caution.

During this time you can use our Non-Prescription plan with contains Minoxidil, Shampoo and a Biotin supplement.

What is your returns process?

Accepted Answer

We understand that there may, on occasion, be times where you wish to return an order that you have received from us. We aim to make the returns process as easy as possible for our customers.

For Non-Medicinal Products, like our shampoo for example, these must be in the original packaging and unopened, in a condition fit for resale. If the product being returned does not meet these conditions, we will be unable to offer a refund.

For Medicines/Prescription products, unfortunately we are unable to offer a refund as these are pharmaceutical products and by law, they must be used or destroyed once dispatched from the pharmacy.
