Schedule A Virtual Consultation With Koher Medical's Experts in Pennsylvania
How much does a hair transplant procedure cost? This is possibly the most common question in the field of hair restoration. There are a multitude of factors that we consider when determining price such as the extent of hair loss, hair type, donor density, recipient density, and so on. Each patient’s condition and cosmetic desires are unique to their situation, and at Koher Medical we strive to develop customized treatment plans for every one of our patients. The best way to start is always our free consultation service, which can be performed both in person and virtually. There we can begin the steps to determine the appropriate number of hair grafts to accomplish your hair restoration goals.
Cost Per Graft
In the hair restoration industry, hair transplant cost is primarily determined by price per graft. A hair graft typically contains 1 to 4 hairs per bundle. We gather these hair bundles through one of two surgical techniques: the FUE and FUT method.
With the FUT method, we harvest a strip of tissue from a patient’s donor area (the back/sides of a scalp) and dissect the material into individual hair bundles. This is done by an expert group of surgical technicians who effortlessly prepare each hair bundle for transplantation. FUE on the other hand requires that each hair be individually harvested by one or two technicians using micro punches. This requires significantly more time to complete harvesting before transplantation can begin, and as such FUE cases are more expensive than FUT procedures.
Our current price for FUT procedures is $5.00 per graft, and for FUE procedures it is $6.00 per graft. The minimum case size for both treatments is 1000 grafts, As the case size increases, the cost per graft is reduced.
How Many Grafts?
The number of grafts needed for a hair transplant will vary depending on the individual case and the extent of hair loss. Factors such as the size of the area being treated, the density of the hair, and the patient's hair characteristics and goals, will all be taken into consideration when determining the number of grafts needed. On average, a hair transplant procedure can range from around 1000 to 3000 grafts, but it can be more or less depending on the case. In general, the more hair that needs to be transplanted, the more grafts will be needed to achieve the desired results. The image above can give a general concept of expected graft amounts needed per area, although individual patient needs may vary.
