Hair transplant cost is one of the first questions that come to mind when people start their search for a hair restoration procedure.  We too get questions on hair transplant prices and the cost of hair transplant a lot in our hair restoration clinics.

Asking “how much does a hair transplant cost” is a vague question in regards to hair transplant costs.  The better and more intelligible question would be what the best value for a hair transplant is.  When you do research for something that leaves a permanent change on your face you do not want a cheap hair transplant, but you want the most affordable cost for the highest quality of the work.  That is called value shopping and you will never regret it.

However you should do your homework for the average cost for hair transplants and then if you find a great hair transplant doctor with good credentials and background.  By choosing a good surgeon that offer a reasonable cost of hair transplants, your mission is accomplished and you can leave your hair restoration process to the doctor with no worry about the outcome.

Many people do not do their homework when it comes to making such an important selection and go to the first doctor who knows how to sell themselves through marketing tactics.  Worse than that are the patients who try to find cheap hair transplant or cost shopping instead of value shopping.  The result of that may be catastrophic and patients may end up with an unnatural appearance after their cheap hair transplant procedure is done.  I have seen a number of patients whom received less number of grafts than what they were promised due to technical errors or unethical behaviors from some hair transplant clinics.

We at US Hair Restoration are now offering a variety of payment plans for hair transplant procedures with no or minimal interest that can bring the final cost of hair transplants down to small monthly portions and we also managed to keep our hair transplant prices as low as possible while maintaining our high quality standards.  In addition, to bring hair transplant cost even lower, we have come up with a standby program in which patients can get significant discounts for quality hair restoration procedures.  To get more information on hair transplant costs at US Hair Restoration, you can contact one of our California hair transplant clinics and ask about your eligibility for the low hair transplant costs of our standby program.

Looking at the trend of search on our website, I noticed hair transplant cost, hair transplant costs, cost of hair transplant are among the most popular phrases that are used by the visitors who are trying to educate themselves on hair restoration and what is involved including the cost of hair transplant or hair restoration cost or costs in a hair restoration procedure.  There are many people who try to get the best value their money can buy and some people are cheap shopping.  I don’t mind finding a chip product when I am shopping for the same brand that I usually buy at a discounted rate.  However, when it comes to the cost of hair restoration, I don’t recommend finding a hair transplant surgeon merely based on the price of hair restorations.

Affordable hair transplant surgeries or other promotional phrases such as discounted hair transplants, $1 per hair, low cost hair transplants could be found everywhere, however when it comes to hair transplant with its permanent effect on your face, it should be more of a value shopping rather than price shopping.  Remember that you are buying something that is going to stay with you for the rest of your life.

I perform quite a few hair transplant repair procedures every months.  Some of the patients who go through repaire surgery are the ones who had their hair transplantation years ago, before the era of follicular unit transplants, but unfortunately a large number of those patients had their hair restoration surgeries in the last few years.  They either never received the number of grafts that they were promised and end up with less than optimal coverage due to technical problems or got problem with the artistic design of the hairline or issues with distribution of the hair on the balding area.

Among hair transplant surgeons some charge more due the name, brand and the location.  You have probably seen the signs like: “Beverly Hills Hair Transplant Surgeon.  Some of the older hair transplant doctors have been unable to keep up with the new techniques of hair restoration, I don’t see then participating in hair restoration scientific meetings thus are simply are not aware of what is the gold standard in hair transplantation.  Having said that, I do now some of the the pioneers in hair restoration that are always ahead of their time and are involved in hair transplant research and development.  One good example is Dr. William Rassman whom I had privilege of working with closely in the past.  He is one of the few hair transplant surgeons capable of providing quality hair restorations utilizing the new techniques while using his years of experience in the field of hair restoration.

In conclusion, it all comes bacn to the patient who need to realize what he is getting is a procedure that produces permanent changes and they better off doing it right the first time and don’t risk getting a less than optimal hair restoration that might need a repair hair transplant in the future.  Whether you are in Los angeles or elsewhere, you need to do your homework to find a good hair transplant surgeon and even after that know what kind of questions to ask from your hair transplant doctor.

Hair transplant cost is important and is a determining factor for some people, but you should not make your decision solely based on the cost and affordability in your hair transplant surgeon search.  That is why I deliberately avoided explaining about hair transplant cost in Southern California hair transplant centers of US Hair Restoration in this article, which is titled “hair transplant cost in Los Angeles”.

Hair transplant cost is one of the questions that we have answered many times in this blog and we still receive it from our patients. The quality of hair transplant surgery have been improving within the last few decades with the use of stereotactic microscopes and advanced methods of handling and maintaining the hair grafts. However, not every hair transplant clinic could have kept up and adopted the new technology.

Cost of hair transplant surgery varies from clinic to clinic and from surgeon to surgeon. You may find a wide variety in hair transplant costs. Many clinics that offer cheap hair transplants are not committed to the quality of service. They hire inexperienced hair transplant staff. Some of the hair restoration surgery clinics do not use microscope and are not scientifically in line with the advanced techniques that are available today. Some clinics are run by technicians and doctor is only involved in a small portion of the procedure.

Hair transplant costs are generally calculated as per hair graft basis. Hair transplantation with exclusive follicular unit transplant could cost $3 to $10 per each graft (average for exclusive follicular unit transplantation). That is the cost of hair transplants with strip techniques of FUT or follicular unit transplant and the price of the FUE (follicular unit extraction) hair transplant is higher. Affordable hair transplant could be found in high-quality hair restoration clinics too. They may not be able to lower the cost of surgeries to $2 per graft (as you may see in some hair transplant offices) because of the fact that having an experienced surgical team and skillful surgeon cost more than that.

As I said, you can find low cost hair transplant centers that still offer quality hair restoration surgeries. Some of them are very skillful and offer individual services unlike the big chain hair transplant centers. The big chain hair transplant centers have a variation in their services due to different surgeons and staff. I have seen a diversity of results from some of those clinics. The variation is generally seen due to difficulty keeping the same standard in different offices. Most patients with a previous surgery in the chain clinics who have a repeat surgery at Los Angeles Hair Transplant center of US Hair Restoration are critical of the lack of personal attention and individual care in those clinics.

In conclusion, although the cost of hair transplant surgery is an important factor, it should not be the sole factor in choosing a hair transplant clinic. I always encourage my patients to educate themselves on the most advanced techniques of hair restoration surgery. Internet is a great source of information. We have a useful collection of hair loss and hair restoration articles in our web site. I also answer the patient’s hair restoration questions in hair restoration blog on a daily basis.

My recommendation is to shop around for the best value hair restoration surgery and not for the cheapest one. Think about it as a lifetime investment. Good or bad you will see your hair every day for the rest of your life.
