Cost is one of the most common queries asked by patients. Naturally, you should get the best value for your hard earned money and we understand that. In this article, we will be discussing some of the major factors which a Hair Transplant Clinic (like Athena HairNow) considers before charging.

How do we really charge?

When patients ask for a quote over phone, we encourage them to visit the clinic as cost in hair transplant depends on a variety of factors. Nowadays various clinics are charging really low rates but please remember nothing comes free. Hair transplant is a very complex surgery and requires years of practice and a well-qualified surgeon. While choosing a clinic, look into the credentials of the surgeon and before after results produced by the clinic.

Factors determining the cost

• The amount of hair loss that you have so far experienced.
• The quantity of the donor hair that is available.
• The characteristics of the donor that you are receiving the hair. These will include the factors such as the hair texture, the hair color and the curls of the hair.

So, we believe it would not be genuine if we provide an exact estimate over the phone as everyone has unique characteristics and unique requirements. While the individual needs of a particular patient go a long way in determining their grafting needs, the Hair Transplant Clinics typically offer a range of costs for some general transplant characteristics. Based on these, you can easily compare what your hair transplant procedure will eventually cost you.

Cost as per patient needs

Sometimes the needs of the patient are also an important factor in the cost estimation as he/she may require more than one grafting procedures. For example, if scalp hair is not enough to transplant, body or beard follicles would need to be extracted. The cost of body and beard follicles is different as more expertise is required in these cases.

So, if one is looking to have a Hair Transplant, it would be best to visit the hair transplant clinic once and then discuss their needs with the surgeon, let him/her examine and then you may have exact ideas on how much does a hair transplant procedure cost?
