How much does a hair transplant cost?

As each patient is different in terms of: the amount of thinning, the amount of donor hair available, the amount of scalp to be treated in each session, and the type of graft to be used; it is impossible to give an exact amount per session, without seeing the patient first in consultation. Alternatively, some physicians charge per graft. The patient is charged for each graft whether it is a 1 hair graft, 2 hair graft, or 20 hair graft. I charge per session, however the fee may be more or less depending on the general size of session. It is important to know when deciding on the cost that a physician has given you, not only how many grafts, but also how many hairs are being transplanted in each session. As I have mentioned previously if a physician is to charge ‘x’ amount of dollars per graft for transplanting 2,000 one to two hair grafts you may be actually getting less hair than say a physician who transplants a combination of 700-800 grafts ranging in size from 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6 hairs per graft, which can total 2,500 – 4,000 or more hairs.

I charge per area for each session. A full session to the front half of the scalp will cost approximately $5,000.00 to $7,500.00 plus taxes, ( 3000-4000 plus hairs in varying sizes of follicular unit grafts). If the crown (back half of the balding area ), is transplanted, in addition to the front I charge $7,500.00 to $9,500.00 plus taxes, ( 6000-7500 plus hairs in varying sizes of follicular unit grafts ). ALL COSTS ARE IN CANADIAN DOLLARS.
