Types of Hair Transplant
The cost of the hair transplant procedure fluctuates depending upon the method used for the procedure.
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) - Hair follicles from the patient’s head are extracted for transplantation. The site from which the follicles are extracted is the donor site. The donor site is usually the back of your head or the side of the head. Each follicle is carefully extracted manually by the doctor. 2 to 4 follicles together form a graft which is transplanted in the recipient site. The recipient site is the area where hair loss has occurred. This transplant method is more expensive than the FUT method. $8,500 is the starting price for this.
- Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) - Instead of hair follicles, a thin tissue from the head to taken out which has hair follicles in it. This strip is taken from the donor area. The grafts are made by extracting the hair follicles from the strip under a microscope. Then these grafts are added to the recipient site. the starting price is $8,000.
