How Templeline earns, and what it refuses

Templeline is paid for by a small number of affiliate links. When you follow one and sign up or book, the company may pay us a fee. That fee never changes what a page says, which options it names or the order it puts them in.

The links that can pay us

Each of these is marked "paid link" beside the words where it appears, and it goes through an address on our own site beginning with /go/ before forwarding you to the company:

• Keeps, an online service where, by its own account, a licensed medical provider reviews your order. We mention it as one way to reach a prescriber, never as a treatment.
• Happy Head, an online service offering remote dermatologist consultations and compounded prescription formulas. We mention it alongside the FDA's alert on compounded topical finasteride.
• HairClub, for its free consultation in the US and Canada.
• Toppik, a hair-fibre concealer, which we describe as cosmetic.

The routes that pay us nothing

On every page that mentions a paid link, we also name a route that pays us nothing, and it is usually the one we suggest first: a GP or dermatologist appointment, a barber, filling a prescription from your own doctor at a local pharmacy, or checking a surgeon through the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery's directory.

What we refuse

Some programmes are open to publishers like us and we have chosen not to join them, or not to link them:

• ClickBank and Digistore24 hair-loss offers. Many are information products and supplements sold on aggressive claims; we do not link any of them.
• HealthTrader, which sells pharmacy-style products with regulatory risks that vary by country.
• Luviacure, whose ambassador model is built on income promises we will not repeat.
• Medical-travel facilitators and clinic marketplaces, including Bookimed, Qunomedical, WhatClinic, Flymedi and Medigance. They are paid by clinics, and linking them would mean steering you toward clinics we have not vetted.
• Bosley, whose publisher programme is closed.
• Any individual hair-transplant clinic or surgeon. We do not review, rank or link clinics. If that ever changes, this page will change first and say exactly what arrangement exists.

Two services are simply not on the site yet. Hims was eligible for this subject, but its website refused our reader when we tried to check its service on 22 September 2026, so we could not describe it accurately and did not link it. Ro has no link because we have not confirmed its programme terms at the source.

The rules our paid links follow

• Every paid link is marked where it sits and carries a sponsored/nofollow tag for search engines.
• No paid link appears inside a medical warning, a list of signs to see a doctor about, or a set of questions to ask a surgeon.
• We never write dosing instructions, promise results or use a paid link to sell a prescription medicine directly.
• Prices and commissions are never printed on the site.

If you think a page breaks any of these rules, please tell us. A refusal published here is a promise, and it can only be reversed by rewriting this page first.
