Many people who reach us at Evolved Hair Restoration Clinic in Perth, Australia become anxious to ask for cost of a hair transplant over a phone call or an online chat. What they do not realize is that there a multitude of factors that make it virtually impossible to give an accurate estimate without undergoing a proper consultation.
The success rate of hair transplant and therefore associated cost of a hair transplant depends on many factors, which we go through in detail, in our consultation.
Here are some of the questions you must evaluate
1. Which type of hair transplant technique (DFI, FUE, FUT etc.) is being considered? For example, the cost of a DFI transplant is usually more since the doctor performs 100% of the procedure
2. Who performs the procedure end-to-end? Is it a doctor or is it outsourced to nurses/ assistants? Yes, this is linked to point one above.
3. How much healthy hair you currently have that’s available for a hair transplant?
4. What is the medical team’s expertise, certification and training credentials?
5. Is there a pathology powered consultation to assess hair loss and treatment plan?
6. Does the clinic use single-use specialized Instruments?
7. Do you use proper holding solutions for maximum graft survivability?
8. What kind of safety and hygiene protocols are followed?
is determined by the hair and scalp medical examination followed by the number of hairs that the procedure would require. This mitigates the fear of getting undesirable, impractical results. Assuming you have a good donor, the more aggressive your hair loss situation is, the more hair you need and more cost it will be.
Another aspect to keep in mind is to prioritize certain areas of the scalp over others. In many cases, patients with more aggressive hair loss have one definite desire – to get their entire head transplanted. After further review, if your donor area is compromised, many patients decide to transplant only a part of the scalp such as the hairline or the crown. Patients are frequently very satisfied with the outcome of just one procedure to a specific area which saves both money and grafts, thus making the procedure more affordable.
The bottom line is only you can determine if the price of a hair transplant is worth it to you. At Evolved Clinics, our experience with patients frequently shows that hair transplant is well worth it. In fact, many patients wish they had done it sooner. 🙂
If it helps, prices for a most hair transplant we do can range normally between $12000 to $18,000.
