Exceptional Results, Great Value!
When considering a hair transplant or hair restoration surgery, cost is naturally one of the first questions on a patient’s mind. However, it’s important to recognize that cost alone should not drive your decision. A successful hair transplant is an investment in your confidence and quality of life, and selecting the right clinic is crucial to achieving exceptional results.
Experience and expertise should be at the forefront of your evaluation. The skill and reputation of the physician, along with the proficiency of the medical staff, are just as critical as the price. Your chosen clinic should share your goals and priorities. If something feels off or your expectations don’t align, seeking a second opinion can be a valuable step in your decision-making process.
Individualized Pricing for Lasting Results
Hair transplant costs vary based on several factors, including the number of grafts required, the type of procedure (such as Advanced FUE®, No-Shave FUE™, or FUT), and the clinic's expertise. While only a personalized consultation can provide an accurate cost estimate tailored to your needs, the information below offers a comprehensive guide to help you understand the variables and make an informed choice.
At Advanced Hair Restoration, we pride ourselves on combining exceptional results with transparent, fair pricing to maximize the value of your time and money. Whether you're looking to restore your hairline, fill in thinning areas, or achieve full scalp coverage, our team is committed to helping you reach your goals.

The More You Get, the Less You Pay
We offer flexible pricing that scales with the number of grafts needed, making larger procedures more cost-effective. Depending on the chosen procedure—such as Advanced FUE®, No-Shave FUE™, or Hybrid No-Shave FUE—the Cost Per Graft decreases as the graft count increases, providing an affordable way to achieve optimal results. This approach allows our patients to enjoy greater value while receiving the highest quality in hair restoration.
Typical Cost Range of a Hair Transplant
The average cost of a hair transplant procedure is around $12,000, but the costs can range from $8,000 to $15,000 or even more, depending on the factors mentioned above.
Your Advanced Hair Restoration specialist will provide you with an accurate quote based on your specific needs during your consultation.
Hair Transplant Financing Available
Hair restoration is an important investment — and while it’s not typically covered by health insurance, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to restore their hair and confidence. That’s why we offer several convenient financing options, including interest-free plans through LendingClub, CareCredit, and Cherry Financing.
These trusted third-party providers specialize in financing for hair transplants and cosmetic procedures, making it easy to find a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Key Factors Influencing Hair Transplant Costs
Procedure Type
Number of Grafts
Patient Goals
Geographic Location
Clinic Reputation and Expertise
Procedure Type
The type of hair transplant procedure you choose plays a significant role in determining the overall cost. Advanced Hair offers several options, each with unique benefits and cost structures:
Advanced FUE®: This specialized form of FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) incorporates the latest technology and refined protocols to maximize graft survival and minimize procedure duration while providing an affordable hair transplant solution.
Advanced No-Shave FUE™: Designed for those who wish to keep their hair restoration journey discreet, this method allows hair transplantation without shaving the donor or recipient areas, preserving the natural look of your hair during and after the procedure. It is ideal for individuals who prefer minimal visible changes and a more confidential approach to their treatment.
Advanced Hybrid FUE: Combining the benefits of traditional FUE and No-Shave FUE®, this procedure involves shaving only the donor area while keeping the recipient area unshaved. It offers a balance of ease and discretion, making it suitable for those who want to maintain a more natural appearance without the need for a full shave.
Advanced FUT: Also known as the Follicular Unit Transplantation or the strip method, FUT involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area, from which individual follicular units are dissected and transplanted to the recipient area.
Number of Grafts Needed
Your hair restoration goals play a major role in determining the number of grafts needed for a transplant, which is one of the biggest factors affecting cost. Larger procedures often reduce the cost per graft due to economies of scale. The total graft count is influenced by several key factors:
Extent of Hair Loss: The degree of hair loss and the size of the area needing coverage directly impact the number of grafts required. Patients with extensive hair loss will need more grafts, which can increase the overall cost of the procedure.
Desired Density: The patient's desired hair density also affects the number of grafts needed. Achieving a fuller, thicker look requires more grafts, which can raise the cost. During the consultation, your Advanced Hair physician will discuss your goals and create a plan that balances your desired density with the number of grafts needed.
Donor Hair Availability: The availability of donor hair is another critical factor. Patients with a limited donor hair supply may require more advanced techniques or multiple sessions to achieve their desired results, impacting the overall cost.
Hair Characteristics: The thickness, texture, and color contrast of your hair can significantly influence how many grafts are needed to achieve your desired appearance. Thicker hair shafts and curlier textures tend to provide more visual coverage, meaning fewer grafts may be required. In contrast, fine or straight hair may need more grafts to achieve the same look of density, which can affect the overall cost and strategy for your procedure.
Patient Goals
Each patient's goals and expectations play a vital role in determining the cost of a hair transplant. Personalized treatment plans are designed to meet individual needs, and these plans can vary significantly in scope and complexity.
Coverage Area: The size of the area to be treated is a primary consideration. Smaller areas, such as the hairline or temples, may require fewer grafts and, consequently, lower costs. Larger areas, like the crown or full scalp restoration, will require more grafts and a higher investment.
Aesthetic Goals: Patients seeking specific aesthetic outcomes, such as a particular hairline shape or density, may require more detailed and customized procedures. These specialized approaches can influence the overall cost.
Geographic Location
The cost of hair transplant procedures may vary slightly based on the geographic location of the clinic.
Clinic Reputation and Expertise
Choosing a reputable clinic with experienced surgeons can impact the cost of your hair transplant. Established clinics with a proven track record of successful outcomes may charge higher fees. However, investing in a clinic with skilled professionals and a history of excellence can ensure better results and a higher level of patient satisfaction. Advanced Hair employs the most skilled talent in the field, from physicians to medical staff, but we do not participate in the practice of over-inflating costs. Patient experience and results are what motivate us and why we have earned the reputation for being among the best in the business.

Cost Related FAQS
How much does a hair transplant cost?
The cost of a hair transplant varies depending on the number of grafts needed, the technique used (FUE vs. FUT), and the experience of the surgeon. At Advanced Hair, we provide personalized consultations to determine the most cost-effective and natural-looking solution for your needs.
How is hair transplant pricing calculated?
Hair transplant pricing is typically based on the number of grafts required to achieve your desired result. Factors like your degree of hair loss, donor area quality, and hair characteristics all play a role. We offer clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
How many grafts will I need?
Most patients need anywhere from 1,500 to 3,500 grafts, but every case is unique. During your consultation, we’ll assess your hair loss pattern and design a customized plan to determine the exact graft count needed for a natural, full look.
Is financing available for hair transplant procedures?
Yes. Advanced Hair offers flexible financing options to make treatment more accessible. Many patients take advantage of monthly payment plans with approved credit.
Is a more expensive hair transplant better?
Not always. Price doesn’t guarantee quality. What matters most is the skill of your surgeon, the technique used, and the naturalness of your results. At Advanced Hair, we focus on delivering maximum value with permanent, natural-looking outcomes.
Why do some clinics charge more per graft than others?
Some clinics charge inflated per-graft prices simply because they lack the ability to harvest a higher number of grafts efficiently or safely. Others may use pricing as a way to offset lower experience or limited results. This kind of price gouging doesn’t mean better quality—it often just means less value and poorer results.
Are low-cost hair transplants too good to be true?
Sometimes. If a clinic advertises ultra-low prices, it’s important to ask who’s actually performing the procedure and what experience they have. Inexperienced teams or technician-led clinics may cut corners—leading to poor growth, visible scarring, or unnatural results. Always check the credentials, results, and reputation of the medical team.
Are there any hidden fees with hair transplant pricing?
No. At Advanced Hair, transparency is key. Your consultation outlines the total cost based on your personalized treatment plan—no surprises, just clear and honest pricing.
Does insurance cover hair transplants?
Hair transplant procedures are considered cosmetic and are typically not covered by insurance. However, we offer several financing options to help make your procedure affordable.
What’s included in the price of a hair transplant?
Our pricing includes the full procedure, surgeon’s expertise, medical team support, post-operative care, and follow-up. You’ll also receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
Why is Advanced Hair a better value than other clinics?
We specialize exclusively in hair restoration, offer patented techniques like No-Shave FUE™, and provide transparent pricing with guaranteed results. Our surgeons perform thousands of procedures annually—giving you experience, results, and value you can trust.
