AGA & FAGA · Shimbashi & Ginza
Male pattern hair loss (AGA) responds to treatment, and the earlier it starts the more there is to keep. Finasteride and dutasteride from ¥4,800 a month, with a separate formulation for female pattern hair loss.
AGA treatment costs from ¥4,800 a month at Shinbashi Ginza Swift Clinic in Shimbashi, Tokyo. Finasteride and dutasteride are both ¥4,800 for a month, minoxidil is ¥6,000 a bottle, and female pattern hair loss (FAGA) is treated with Hair Revival-FF at ¥13,800. Treatment is ongoing rather than a fixed course, and online consultation with postal delivery is available anywhere in Japan.

Androgenetic alopecia is progressive. The follicles that have already closed do not reopen, so treatment is far better at keeping hair than at bringing it back. That is an unglamorous thing for a clinic to say, but it is the reason not to wait another year.
Female pattern hair loss has a different mechanism and a different drug. Finasteride and dutasteride are not prescribed to women — women of childbearing age should not even handle broken tablets. Hair Revival-FF is the formulation used here.
You can be seen here without speaking Japanese. Consultations are handled with a translation app and written notes rather than by an English-speaking doctor, which works well for treatments where the decision is straightforward — repeat prescriptions, testing, hair removal — and is slower where you have a complicated history to explain. Treatment information, pricing and access details on these pages are in English. The booking system and the pre-visit questionnaire are in Japanese, so message us on LINE beforehand if you would like help completing them.
Hair grows slowly, and these drugs work by holding on to what you have before they add anything. Most people are advised to give it six months before judging, and treatment is ongoing rather than a one-off course — stopping usually means the loss resumes.
Both block DHT, the hormone behind male pattern loss. Dutasteride blocks a wider range of it. They are the same price here (¥4,800 a month), so the choice is clinical rather than financial — the doctor decides with you.
Yes. Female pattern hair loss (FAGA) is treated with Hair Revival-FF at ¥13,800 a month. Finasteride and dutasteride are not prescribed to women.
No. Online consultation is available and medication can be posted anywhere in Japan, which is what most people on long-term treatment do.
