The cost primarily depends on the technique used. FUT is generally less expensive per graft compared to FUE, but the overall cost may be higher if you need a large number of grafts. FUE, being more labor-intensive, often has a higher cost per graft. The number of grafts needed, which is determined by the area of hair loss, also affects the price. For example, if you have extensive baldness, you'll need more grafts, increasing the cost. Additionally, the surgeon's experience and location can impact the price, with more experienced surgeons in urban areas typically charging more.

There may be additional costs to consider. These can include pre-operative tests, medications, and post-operative care products. Some clinics might charge extra for follow-up appointments. You should ask for a detailed breakdown of costs from different clinics and compare them. Keep in mind that cheaper options may not always provide the best quality, so it's important to balance cost with the surgeon's reputation and the expected results.

Some clinics offer financing options or payment plans to make the procedure more affordable. You can explore these if the upfront cost is a concern. However, be sure to understand the terms and conditions of any financing, including interest rates and repayment schedules. It's also worth checking if your insurance covers any part of the procedure, although most often, hair transplants are considered cosmetic and not covered.
