What is Hers?

Hers is the women’s-health telehealth brand that acts as the sister to Hims, and both sit under the same parent company, Hims & Hers Health. If Hims is the men’s-focused side of the business, Hers is the counterpart built for women — offering online consultations with licensed clinicians and home-delivered treatments across hair, skin, mental health, birth control, and weight. The model is the same convenient, subscription-first approach, simply tailored to women’s needs.

The two brands launched in the same era of direct-to-consumer telehealth and are marketed together often enough that many people search for them as one. If you want the combined corporate view, see our overview of Hims and Hers, and for the men’s side specifically, What Is Hims breaks down that half of the business.

How does Hers work?

The Hers flow mirrors its sibling brand and is designed to be fast and private:

  1. You choose a concern — for example, thinning hair or a skincare goal.
  2. You complete an online health questionnaire.
  3. A licensed clinician reviews your answers, sometimes asynchronously.
  4. If appropriate, a treatment is prescribed and shipped, usually on an auto-renewing subscription.

Because much of the care is asynchronous, the convenience is high, but so is the responsibility on you to check ingredients, costs, and renewal terms. The clinician decides whether a prescription is appropriate; you decide whether to start and keep going.

What can you get from Hers?

Hers spans several women’s-health categories. The table below maps the main ones. Availability shifts over time and by state, so treat it as a guide rather than a live catalog.

CategoryTypical offeringsPrescription needed?
Hair careTopical minoxidil, supportive hair productsSome
SkincareTretinoin, anti-aging formulas, cleansersSome
Mental healthAnxiety and depression care, therapyYes
Birth controlSelect oral contraceptive optionsYes
Weight managementCompounded or branded GLP-1 medicationsYes

Birth control through Hers

One of the clearest differences from the men’s brand is birth control. Hers offers online access to certain contraceptive options where a clinician reviews your information and prescribes if appropriate. What is available depends on your state and changes over time. Because contraception involves individual health factors, it is handled through clinician review rather than picked freely — and, as a reminder, this page is educational and not medical advice.

Hair and skin

For hair, Hers targets thinning and shedding, commonly with topical minoxidil and supportive products. For skin, it leans into anti-aging and problem-skin care, often using tretinoin for prescription routes. These categories overlap conceptually with the men’s side; our Hims Hair Growth explainer covers the shared science of ingredients like minoxidil in more depth.

Mental health and weight

Hers also offers mental health support for anxiety and depression, including therapy, plus weight management using GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide. As with the wider company, some weight-loss options are branded and FDA-approved, while compounded versions are not FDA-approved as finished formulations. A clinician reviews eligibility, and the risks deserve a real conversation before starting.

How does Hers relate to Hims?

The simplest way to understand the relationship: one company, two front doors. Hims and Hers share a parent, a similar technology platform, and the same subscription-based, clinician-reviewed model. What differs is the audience and the product mix — Hers adds women’s-specific care like birth control, while Hims leans into men’s concerns like erectile dysfunction covered in Hims for Men.

Is Hers legit?

Hers carries the same corporate backing as its sibling: it is operated by Hims & Hers Health, a publicly traded company on the NYSE, working with licensed US clinicians and pharmacies. That legitimacy is verifiable. As always, though, a legitimate company does not guarantee a given treatment fits you. Independent Hims Reviews of the broader brand highlight convenience and discretion as pluses, with auto-renewing subscriptions and the impersonal feel of asynchronous care as the common gripes — points that apply to Hers too.

Who is Hers best for?

Hers tends to suit women who value privacy and speed, have a well-defined concern, and are comfortable managing a subscription. It is less ideal for anyone wanting in-person examination or dealing with complex medical histories, where a personal clinician relationship matters more. If you are comparing your options, it is worth weighing Hers against other services the way you would with Hims Alternatives on the men’s side.

The bottom line

Hers is the women’s-health half of the same telehealth company behind Hims, delivering hair, skincare, mental health, birth control, and weight care through online clinician review and home-delivered subscriptions. Its strengths are convenience and discretion; its watch-outs are auto-renewal and asynchronous care. Understanding that Hims and Hers are two tailored doors into one business is the key to knowing which fits you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hers?
Hers is a women's-health telehealth brand and the sister brand to Hims, both operating under the same parent company, Hims & Hers Health. It offers online access to licensed clinicians and ships treatments to your door on a subscription. Categories include hair care, skincare, mental health, birth control, and weight management, all delivered through an online intake and clinician review model.
How is Hers different from Hims?
The core difference is audience and product focus. Hims centers on men's health, while Hers focuses on women's health, including birth control and women's hair and skin concerns. The underlying model — online questionnaire, clinician review, home-delivered subscriptions — is essentially the same. Both share one parent company and a similar direct-to-consumer approach, just tailored to different needs.
Can you get birth control through Hers?
Hers offers online access to certain birth control options, where a licensed clinician reviews your health information and prescribes if appropriate. Availability and specific products vary by state and over time. Birth control involves individual health considerations, so it is not a decision to make from a menu alone; a clinician's review is part of the process, and this article is not medical advice.
Does Hers offer weight-loss treatment?
Yes, Hers has expanded into weight management, including GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide, mirroring the broader company's move into this space. Some options are branded and FDA-approved, while compounded versions are not FDA-approved as finished formulations. Because weight-loss medications carry real considerations, a clinician reviews eligibility, and you should discuss risks and alternatives before starting.
Is Hers legit and safe to use?
Hers is run by Hims & Hers Health, a publicly traded company on the NYSE, and works with licensed US clinicians and pharmacies. That gives it real corporate legitimacy. As with any telehealth service, safety for you personally depends on accurate intake answers, appropriate clinician oversight, and understanding what you are prescribed. Reviewing costs and renewal terms before signing up is also wise.
What hair and skin products does Hers offer?
Hers provides women's hair care aimed at thinning and shedding, which can include topical minoxidil and supportive products, plus skincare targeting anti-aging and skin concerns, often featuring ingredients like tretinoin for prescription options. Exact formulations change over time. Prescription items require a clinician review, while some supportive products are available over the counter.
How does the Hers subscription work?
Like Hims, most Hers plans are recurring subscriptions that auto-renew and ship on a schedule until you cancel. This keeps ongoing treatments uninterrupted but means you should track billing dates and know how to pause or cancel through your account. Reading the renewal cadence at checkout helps avoid surprise charges, a common theme across subscription telehealth.
