What is the average cost of a hair transplant?
This is a good question. The hair transplant industry as a whole has developed a price scale based on cost per graft. The cost per graft range is between $3 and $8 with the average being around $4.50. With this said, there are some well known hair transplant surgeons who command upwards of $12 per graft and many patients are more than happy to pay the price.
Today the average hair transplant session is around 2000 grafts, so if the average cost per graft is $4.50 than average cost of a hair transplant session will be approximately $9000.
It’s important to note that most men will require more than one session and that most hair transplant clinics will lower the cost per graft as the session sizes become larger. For example clinics might charge $4.50 for the first 2000 grafts and $3 for each graft beyond the 2000 mark.
Hair transplantation is not cheap, but financing is available and most clinics accept credit cards. The truth is that I have never spoken with a happy hair transplant patient who ever complained about price. Most would have paid double to achieve the positive life altering results that can be achieved with today’s state of the art hair transplants.
