Several products that claim to increase hair volume and make the hair grow longer are available, but most are ineffective or cause only a little hair change. The most effective treatment to increase and add hair is a hair transplant.

A hair transplant is becoming a more popular procedure for hair loss. Still, like other cosmetic procedures, many people want to know how much it costs before deciding whether to undergo the treatment.

While determining the cost of a hair transplant, you have to consider what it costs to recover and how the treatment and recovery will affect the total cost of a hair transplant.

How much does the treatment cost?

Hair transplant cost varies widely but generally falls between £3000 to £11,000. You will likely pay for the treatment out-of-pocket because many insurance companies do not cover this cosmetic procedure.

Your hair transplant cost in Turkey depends on many factors, including.

• Your location

The relative cost of living in your area and the number of hair transplant surgeons will affect the cost a surgeon charges for the procedure.

• Your chosen procedure

Two main types of hair transplants procedure are available: follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT). These procedures have varying costs.

• The surgeon’s skill

If a surgeon is one of the best offering the procedure in an area, their cost may be higher. However, a surgeon charging more for a hair transplant doesn’t guarantee higher skill. Ensure you carry out proper research before the procedure.

• The number of hair follicles you need to transplant

A hair implant in a small area will significantly cost less than having a hair transplant in a large area.

• Travel costs

The surgeon won’t charge for this, but you need to consider this cost because you may have to travel to find a suitable surgeon for the procedure. Your travel expenses and the procedure’s cost may be affordable for you or more expensive than you can afford.

How much does it cost to recover from a hair transplant?

In addition to the cost of treatment, you have to consider the costs involved for a smooth recovery. These recovery costs usually come from:

• Anti-inflammatory medication to reduce the swelling around the surgical area
• Pain medication to aid immediate recovery
• Antibiotics to reduce the risk of an infection

If complications arise, usually infection, you will spend some money on treatment. This will also account for additional expenses, including the cost of visiting the doctor and your medication.

Alternative treatments to a hair transplant

If you can’t afford a hair transplant or don’t want to undergo a hair transplant, you can consider some non-surgical alternatives. Although they can enhance hair growth, they are not as effective as hair transplants.

These alternative treatments include:

• Minoxidil (Rogaine) – You can buy this medication without a prescription. Both women and men can use it to treat hair loss.
• Low-level laser therapy – This treatment is suitable for women and men. It stimulates cellular activity, strengthens weak hair, and enhances hair retention.
• Finasteride (Propecia) tablets treat main and female pattern baldness within 3 – 6 months, provided you use it continuously.
