How Vaylen's pricing works
Vaylen advertises annual-plan monthly averages from $83 for semaglutide injections, $124 for tirzepatide injections and $99 for dissolving semaglutide tablets. Those are published rounded starting figures, so confirm the exact upfront total. It sells three compounded GLP-1 options: a weekly semaglutide injection, a weekly tirzepatide injection, and a daily semaglutide tablet that dissolves in your mouth. Every plan includes the prescription, the medication, provider check-ins and free, discreet shipping, with no membership fee on top.
The low "from" prices in Vaylen's ads are the per-month cost of a 12-month program billed up front. Vaylen says shorter programs and monthly plans are available, but it doesn't list their prices before you take its quiz. A separate first-month price is also advertised for new patients. Before you pay, compare the 12-month total with the monthly rate you'd pay if you'd rather not commit for a year. Tirzepatide costs more than semaglutide, and the tablet sits between the two on Vaylen's 12-month pricing.
You can pay in full or split a program with Klarna or Affirm. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and insurance isn't needed.
Considering Vaylen?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
Who reviews your case
Vaylen isn't a medical provider itself. Its clinicians come through OpenLoop Health's national network of licensed, board-certified U.S. clinicians. You take a three-minute quiz and complete an intake, and a clinician reviews your case individually, which Vaylen says happens within 24 hours, with no automated approvals.
If you're prescribed, the plan includes monthly check-ins and dose adjustments, and Vaylen says safety labs are part of ongoing care. The homepage says all fifty states, but the terms limit eligibility to forty-nine states without naming an exclusion. Confirm your state. Vaylen's men's health, women's health, hair loss and longevity programs are listed as early access, with a waitlist.
Refunds and the fine print
Vaylen's clearest promise is about approval: if the clinician decides treatment isn't right for you, you get a full refund. Current terms and refund policies are published. Monthly plans renew until you cancel through the patient portal before the next billing date, with no cancellation fee. Three-, six- and twelve-month programs are paid upfront and become non-refundable once a clinician approves you and the program starts. Shipped medication cannot be returned; damaged or confirmed lost shipments are replaced. That restriction matters on a twelve-month prepayment.
Before you choose a long program, ask Vaylen in writing:
- What you'd get back if you stop partway through a prepaid program.
- How and when a plan renews, and how far ahead you need to cancel.
- Which pharmacy compounds the medication.
- Whether brand-name drugs are still offered, and at what price.
