The cost of hair transplant is one of the most asked
questions among the patients and it depends upon many factors that are
associated with a hair transplant procedure and a worthy decision to opt the
technique is also depends upon the cost as well as the number of grafts they
get to cover the bald areas. There are reciprocal relations between the cost of
hair transplant as well as the hair transplant chosen a technique that gives
the best results in terms of a greater number of grafts. Since the cost of hair
transplant is decided as per the number of grafts and as many as the viable
hair roots/grafts are dissected for implantation the cost of hair transplant is
figured.
The determinant factors of cost of hair transplant are described below:
- The number of Grafts you required: The cost of hair transplant is directly related with the number of grafts you required. As much as you need a number of grafts/follicular units, the cost will be decided. The per graft cost in India ranges between Rs. 30-50 INR that is just 1/4th of the 1st world countries as counted as the most worthy and genuine cost of hair transplant as compared to the US and the UK.
- To cover the highest grade of baldness: As you have a higher grade of baldness, of course, you need many numbers of hair follicles/grafts to cover the bald zone and the cost varies accordingly. As, for example, if a person grade VII NW class of baldness, then they require at least 5000 or more than that to cover their bald zone and the cost will be decided by the increasing number of grafts.
- The Texture of a patient’s hair: If a patient has a finer hair definitely they will need a greater
number of grafts/follicular units to cover the bald zone as compared to those
patients, who has coarse hair and therefore the cost of hair transplant will be
greater for individuals having finer hair.
- Type of techniques: There are two main types of hair transplant namely, FUT and FUE. In the FUT technique a surgeon can harvest and dissect a greater number of grafts and that is why the cost of FUT technique will be a bit bigger than the FUE, a major determinant of the cost of hair transplant.
In the nutshell, we can say that the cost
of hair transplant has the reciprocal relations with the hair transplant
procedure.
