The cost of hair transplant is one of the important considerations for those who are planning to go through the procedure. The cost is decided based on a number of factors that includes the extent of the condition, the number of grafts needed, the type of procedure to be used, the clinic where you get it, and the number of sessions required.
In Australia the degree of your hair loss dictates the price of hair transplantation. A personal consultation will give the doctor a good look on the exact amount of area to work on.
Some would ask for their frontal hairline to be thickened up, while others would only need some work done on the crown area, and there are also those who have gone completely bald and would ask for a full head of hair done (mega sessions).
Once the surgeon determines the exact area to be covered, he now decides on the amount of grafts that you will need. This is also another way of determining the price of the procedure.
In Australia, generally the price of a single graft is decided on how much of it you’re going to use. The prices in the region could range for as low as $5 to $14 a graft.
If you only need a couple of hundred grafts to cover a smaller area, the price per graft would cost more.
Aside from the number of grafts, the type of hair transplant procedure also determines the price of each graft.
There are two techniques in hair transplantation, and these are FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). FUT is done by removing a strip of follicular units from a donor area, while FUE is done by removing follicular units individually.
The latter generally costs much because it’s a delicate procedure, with a price that would range from $8-$10 per graft, depending on the number needed.
FUT comes in relatively cheaper, with each graft costing around $6-$8.
On top of the total prices of the grafts used, is an additional theatre fee which is usually around $1,250.
Another determining factor of price in hair transplants is the place or the clinic where you get it. Procedures done in the US are more pricy compared to the ones in Australia. And even the clinics in the Australian region have varying prices.
The fee that a clinic puts on its services does not generally speak for the quality of work. An expensive procedure doesn’t really suggest that it is good, and there are affordable ones that offer very impressive results.
The number of sessions also affects the total cost. Of course the more number of times you go, the more you pay. That is why most clients prefer to have a complete work done in one session.
But for others who decide on having a second transplant done, the cost of the next procedure are usually lower.
Overall the general cost of hair transplantation in Australia is within $2,000-$40,000. Some clinics charge by the grafts, the hairs, or the sessions required. It can be pricy, but the results and peace of mind that you get are definitely worth it.
