How Much Does Hair Restoration Cost?

Today most hair transplant clinics offer free no obligation consultations, with surgical sessions priced either per graft or by the session. Financing with low monthly payments is also often offered. Hair transplant prices typically range from $3.00 to $8.00 per graft, with $5 to $6 per graft being about average. Normally the price per graft also drops as the size of the surgical session increases.

Affordable Prices and Monthly Financing
The leading hair transplant clinics are doing larger surgical sessions that have improved hair transplant cost efficiencies for patients, while providing thicker and fuller results. Increased competition and price shopping online has also driven prices down. Only a few years ago it was not unusual for a clinic to charge as much as $15 per graft, while providing patients with only small sessions of a few hundred grafts.

Comparing the cost of hair transplants to other treatments.
Hair transplant surgery is not inexpensive. But it can be the best hair restoration value since the results life long and natural. In the long run, the cost of non surgical treatments like a hair system or hair loss medications can exceed the cost of hair restoration surgery.
For example – A quality custom hair replacement system on average costs $1,200 and needs to be replaced about once a year. It then needs to be reattached and groomed every 5 to 6 weeks for about $75 per visit or $675 per year.

Therefore the cost of buying and maintaining quality hair systems over 10 years is about $18,750.00 ($1,200 plus $675 in annual upkeep = $1,875 x 10 years = $18,750.00). This total cost far exceeds the typical cost of surgical hair restoration.
Note - The cheapest option is shaving your head with an actual net saving due to no expense for shampoos, conditioners, combs, brushes, or hair stylist. Of course, with this option you get no hair.

How to have Natural Looking Eyebrows with Transplant Surgery [HQ Video]

Who else want to have Natural Looking Eyebrows with Transplant Surgery? :)
Transplantation to the eyebrows is a procedure designed to restore growing hair to eyebrows that are overly thin, completely missing or scarred. When transplanted into the eyebrows, the donor hairs which usually come from the scalp, continue to grow for a lifetime and, therefore, need to be trimmed typically once a month.

You can see the Explaination of creating Natural Looking Eyebrows with Transplant Surgery from Dr. Jeffrey Epstein [HQ Video]

This very delicate procedure requiring perfect placement of these hairs into tiny usually half millimeter incisions are angled at just the right direction and positioned to mimic natural growth. The use of all microscopically dissected grafts allows their placement into the smallest possible incisions so as to minimize scarring and damage to already existing hairs.

A procedure typically involves the placement of 50 to as many as 350 hairs to each eyebrow depending on the desired size, density and amount of existing hair.

Usually performed under a mild oral sedative, the two-hour procedure is essentially painless as is the recovery period. By three to five days, other than some mild pinkness that fades out by the first week, patients are able to return to normal activities without any sign of having had a procedure. Sutures placed in the donor area are removed at one week.

The transplanted hairs fall out at around two weeks and then start to re-grow at three months when they will continue to grow for a lifetime.

There are few risks with the procedure and most are those associated with a standard hair transplant.

The donor site incision, which is usually 1 inch to 2 inches long, typically heals as a 2 mm or narrower scar that is easily concealable with the existing hair in the area.

Occasionally a few hairs grow in less than an ideal direction and can be plucked out if desired or sometimes trained to grow in the right direction
