People interested in hair restoration often wonder how they can get the best value for their money.
Many start by searching for affordable hair transplant clinics, because cost is, understandably, a huge factor in the decision.
And there is no shortage of clinics advertising affordable hair restoration.
You’ll probably see a lot of billboards advertising low per-graft costs or internet ads trying to lure you to Turkey.
However, it’s what these ads don’t mention that you need to look out for.
Beware the Hidden Costs
Add-on Charges
While many hair transplant providers pride themselves on transparent pricing, not every clinic does this.
You should know that some of those low price per graft quotes don’t include add-on fees and charges.
Here are some common add-on costs for hair transplant procedures:
- Charges for anesthesia
- Facility and doctor fees
- Charges for aftercare products
- Medical supply and waste disposal fees
- Charges for follow up care
- Medication charges
- Taxes
These costs can easily add up to a lot more than you’d planned for, so be sure to find out what any price quotes you get include.
Then, you can properly compare “affordable” hair transplant clinic options and decide which ones truly are a good value.
Travel Costs
Focusing on the cost of the hair transplant procedure leads many people to forget the costs of travel.
While a weekend trip to another US city might not cost too much, travelling internationally for a hair transplant is another ballgame altogether.
Not only will you pay for that expensive ticket and lodging, you’ll also have to take several days off of work for travel and the procedure.
Those costs can really add up.
And once you finally get there and see the clinic, you’ve already spent a lot—so it’s not as easy to back out and choose another provider if you don’t feel comfortable with the clinic you chose or the situation.
The Cost of Fixing a Bad Transplant
We see a lot of people who went through with overseas hair transplants—because of their supposedly low cost—and weren’t satisfied with the results.
Our practice also gets patients looking for revisions after a sub-par transplant at a domestic hair clinic.
Many of them have had grafts that failed to take—usually due to poor technique—or results that just don’t look natural.
We also see a lot of patients whose donor areas were overharvested, limiting their options for corrective surgery.
The thing many of these patients tell us is that they went with the supposedly affordable hair transplant clinic option.
But paying for a hair transplant twice? That’s what you definitely don’t want to do, so be sure to vet prospective hair transplant providers well.
Know What’s Worth Paying For
There are three things to look for in a hair transplant provider:
- Medical expertise. Some clinics rely heavily on surgical techs and robots to perform these hair restorations. Look for doctor-led practices that carry board certifications from the ABHRS or ISHRS
- Advanced techniques. The latest surgical hair restoration techniques can provide permanent results that look incredibly natural. Find a clinic that specializes in FUE hair restoration, and look for expertise in Shave-less and long-hair FUE for even more discretion.
- Focus on patient care and outcomes. Your treatment doesn’t end with the hair transplant surgery—you need someone who can advise you through aftercare and regrowth, too. Read reviews and make sure patients felt well-supported after their hair restoration procedure and, of course, happy with their final results!
Don’t settle for anything less than safe, capable, patient-centered care–it’s not worth the money you’ll supposedly save.
The good news is that quality care can be quite affordable–you just need to know where to go.
