Many people who suffer from baldness opt for a hair transplant in Mumbai. Many of them are unaware of the hair transplant. In this article, we will discuss the cost of different types of hair transplants.
Cost of Follicular unit extraction(FUE)
FUE hair transplant is a surgical procedure that both men and women can opt for concealing a significant amount of baldness. Hair grafts are removed from the back of the head (donor area) and inserted in the bald area. The FUE hair transplant cost in Mumbai is largely determined by the number of grafts needed for implantation.
The per graft cost of FUE hair transplant surgery in Mumbai is Rs. 20 and Rs. 25, depending on the donor area's health. Two to four hair strands make up a single hair graft. The FUE hair transplant cost for 1000 hair grafts is expected to be between Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 25,000. Accordingly, 6000 grafts hair transplant costs will be decided by your surgeon.
Cost of Bio-FUT
Bio-FUT is a method that combines traditional FUT with biotherapy. It's a nearly painless solution that doesn't require you to shave your hair. Bio-FUT aims to achieve long-term natural results while also stimulating the stem cells of transplanted hair.
The surgeon will inject growth cells into both the donor and transplanted areas during the surgery to speed up the regeneration and healing process. Triclosan is then used to assess the precise length and width of the donor strip. Some clinics like Rejoice use the most advanced Trichophytic Closure technique to reduce the longitudinal scar.
A Bio-FUT hair transplant procedure costs between Rs. 25 and Rs. 30 per hair graft. Two to four hair strands make up a single hair graft. It will cost about Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 30,000 for 1000 hair grafts.
Activated DHT
DHT (Activated Direct Hair Transplant) is a more sophisticated technique in which the grafts are not immediately removed from the scalp after punching. It assists in the protection of the blood supply and the health of the grafts. In-vivo preservation is the name for this technique.
After your surgeon extracts the grafts, they are soaked in a Platelet-rich-plasma solution. The hair transplant surgeon then implants them into the bald area. Soaking the grafts in a PRP solution ensures long-term growth and nourishment.
For implantation, surgeons use the No Root Contact approach because it improves the follicle survival and growth rate.
Activated DHT costs between Rs. 30 and Rs. 35 per hair graft. Two to four hair strands make up a single hair graft. As a result, 1000 hair grafts would cost between Rs. 30,000 and Rs. 35,000.
Factors affecting the cost of hair transplant surgery
Following factors affect the per graft cost of hair transplant surgery in Mumbai:
- Baldness level
The extent of your baldness will play a significant role in deciding the cost of a hair transplant. Baldness is rated on a scale of 1 to 7. The first stage of baldness is level 1, and the seventh stage is the most advanced. The hair transplant cost rises as the degree of baldness rises.
- Number of grafts
Your surgeon will find out how many grafts you'll need to cover your baldness completely during the appointment. The higher the number of grafts needed, the higher the cost of hair transplant.
- Additional therapies
Some patients need additional PRP or mesotherapy sessions in addition to hair transplant surgery to obtain better outcomes. If you need additional treatments or drugs, the cost will rise accordingly. In these cases, your specialist will provide you with a customized kit.
- Hair transplant technique
Depending on your baldness level and the outcome you want, you could need a surgical or non-surgical procedure. You may need a mix of the two. As a result, a hair transplant cost is calculated by which procedure can provide you with the best hair transplant results.
- Donor area
The back of your head is usually the donor region from which hair grafts are extracted. It's likely that the hair follicles on the back of your head aren't healthy enough to survive the surgery. In such situations, the hair grafts will be extracted from your chest or beard. Since removing hair follicles from these areas needs more precision, the cost may rise.
Before deciding on a hair transplant, bear in mind that several factors determine the cost.
For example, some hair transplant surgeons offer free consultations and only charge the hair transplant's actual cost. However, some surgeons charge consultation fees, which increases the cost of a hair transplant.
