Costs, Risks and Recovery Time Associated with Hair Transplantation

My hair is thinning in the crown and the front. I’m not [tag]bald[/tag] yet but I’m on the way. I’m interested in [tag]follicular unit hair transplantation[/tag] and I’d like to know how much I can expect to pay, what is the risk of infection and how long for recovery?

Those are great questions! The cost of a [tag]hair transplant[/tag] procedure will vary depending on your choice of doctor and how many [tag]follicular unit grafts[/tag] you need. Without seeing photos of your [tag]hair loss[/tag], it would be impossible for me to speculate on your total cost but you can expect to pay around $4 to $5 USD per graft.

If you are experiencing [tag]thinning hair[/tag] but not yet bald, you may want to explore non-surgical [tag]hair loss treatments[/tag] such as [tag]Rogaine[/tag] (minoxidil) and [tag]Propecia[/tag] (finasteride).

There are many variables that affect hair transplant healing, [tag]hair growth[/tag] and recovery times and these issues can be better addressed by scheduling a free consultation with one of our recommended hair restoration physicians.

I highly recommend that you spend some time on our hair loss forum and social community researching our doctors, looking at before and after [tag]hair transplant photos[/tag] and communicating with patients before making any decisions.
