Hair Transplant Cost

Every patient is completely different. Even two patients with the same exact hair loss pattern might need a different number of grafts because there are so many factors that affect a hair restoration and more grafts mean more time and complexity during surgery:

• Is the circumference of your head large or small?
• Is your donor area large or small?
• Is your donor area dense?
• Is the area of balding large or small?
• Is your hair fine or course?
• Is your hair blonde or black?
• Is your hair curly or straight?
• Are your goals aggressive or moderate?

Did you know that each patient has a different distribution of one, two, three or four hair grafts? For example, some patients might have a higher occurrence of four hair grafts, which results in a fuller look. And some patients might have a larger number of one hair grafts. These are all things you will discuss with your doctor during the consultation.

Because of all these many factors, Sante feels that it is misleading to simply charge by the graft. Although it might seem tangible, it is really unfair to the patient. After all, those who have a high distribution of one hair grafts won’t get as much hair as a person who has a high distribution of four hair grafts. Other clinics sometimes divide four hair grafts into one-hair grafts in order to charge you more money per graft.

Another factor to consider is that traditional FUE procedures have a high rate of transection, which might damage the follicle at the base of the root causing the graft that you have paid for to die. Robotic harvesting eliminates transection rates up to 75% but the procedure is more costly.
