Hair transplants are not an everyday buy. Every hair transplant surgery is unique. So the cost varies based on factors such as area of baldness, number of sessions required, and grafts for transplantation. The investment in a hair transplant needs thorough research. One has to decide based on:-
- Which hair transplant method should I choose?
- How much downtime is required?
- How much does a hair transplant cost?
Our team at HairSure International has put together this guide to make it easier for you to budget for your hair transplant.
Broad Range of Hair Transplant Cost
The first thing anyone does when thinking about a hair transplant is to find out on the internet about “hair transplant cost,”. The results will not show a definitive answer; instead, a range is displayed. This is because not every hair transplant is similar. Is there a choice for the patient to choose how much they can spend on the hair transplant? The hair transplant cost is assessed on the cost per graft for different methods and the clinic.
Basic Principles of Hair Transplant
Hair Transplantation means that hair follicles are taken from areas of your scalp with healthy growth (donor site) and implanted into the balding area(s) (recipient area), where they eventually take root and resume development. The follicular units are placed in the recipient area in groupings of 1-4 individual hair follicles.
Though the principle is the same, each principle differs based on:-
- How is the hair collected from the donor site?
- How are the follicular units formed?
- How the extracted hair is implanted in the recipient site.
- The equipment used to extract and implant hair
The same methodology is applied for hair restoration or enhancement of the face, beard, moustache, sideburns and eyebrows.
How does Hair Transplant Cost Depend on Hair Transplant Type
The various types of hair extraction methods are:-
- a) Strip Method – An entire strip of scalp is surgically removed and cut up into literally thousands of follicular units.
- b) Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE or NeoGraft – Manually remove the follicular units using a pneumatic pressure machine.
- c) ARTAS Robotic method – Automatically remove the follicular units with a robot guided by a computer algorithm.
Irrespective of the method you choose for your hair restoration, most providers will base their prices on a particular cost/graft. Each provider will provide this rating based on their expertise, experience, equipment used, and how advanced the clinic is?
The traditional Strip Harvest Transplants are generally priced at a lower cost since they require less time from the surgeon. But this technique leaves behind a linear scar at the donor site, and you need a more extended rest period for the incision to heal. Hence, it is still a popular choice among hair restoration techniques.
Cost/graft is not the only thing to consider when choosing a hair restoration provider. Know how many grafts are needed to fully restore your hairline and fill in your crown so that you get the desired results. Do you need 1,500/2000 grafts? How is the surgical team going to restore your missing hairline? How natural look will the look be afterwards?
How to Compare Hair Transplant Prices
After you know the cost per graft, comparing price quotes from various providers is not so straightforward. But that’s not true. Beware, you must be comparing apples to apples.
Check that your provider gives the total price, not just the base price. Since, in that case, they will inform fees and surcharges later. Find out other costs such as:-
- Surgeon fees
- Facility fees
- Anaesthetic fees
- Taxes on your procedure.
- Prescription medications.
- Post-hair care cost
The quotes we provide at HairSure Clinic are all-inclusive, which means you pay what you see, as we have no hidden fees or taxes.
Always check or ask if discounts are available.
At HairSure Clinic, we believe in providing our best services at affordable pricing. We believe our cost is competitive, so we will not hound you to book “this week” or else your discount expires. We will quote the price and give you enough time to decide about going forward.
Choosing the Right Provider
Are you comfortable with the clinic and trust whatever they recommend? To build this trust, ask many questions during your consultation to better understand your procedure’s minute details. Go through all the testimonials, and a hair clinic with proven results is a good start! If you already have a hair transplant that needs a revision, then you may want to change the clinic since some other clinic is more well-versed with hair transplant revision procedures.
Set your Expectations properly
As with all plastic surgery, it is essential to have realistic expectations about your hair transplant. Hair restoration is a lengthy process because your hair can only grow so fast, and anyone promising quick miracle solutions is not a severe hair restoration professional. If a provider promises a full head of hair within a week, they are not being truthful with you, and your best look for another one who gives you an honest assessment.
Look at the savings too.
Creams, special shampoos, vitamins – we’ve heard it all from the patients who walk into our doors at HairSure Clinic. They all tried every other treatment and were frustrated that nothing had changed, or they eagerly asked us which non-surgical treatment we recommended. The answer to that is that only a hair transplant can truly restore growth. And once you’ve had it, you will save all the money on all those regular treatments.
Have you got a better understanding of the cost of a hair transplant? Hair transplants aren’t cheap initially, but in the long term, they provide genuine well-being. You may not be able to buy happiness, but with a hair transplant, you can buy a close second, self-confidence.
