If you want to know how much hair restoration costs in Ann Arbor, schedule a consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon and hair transplantation expert Dr. Pramit Malhotra by calling Balance Hair Restoration at (734) 913-5100.

What Variables Should You Consider?

Hair restoration is a highly individualized process. Your surgeon will create a personalized treatment plan based on the type and extent of hair loss you’re experiencing and your treatment goals.

Prices for hair restoration vary significantly from one provider to the next. Many surgeons use a cost-per-graft model as a primary determinant of hair restoration pricing. In Michigan, the cost per graft is typically $5 to $7.

Factors that can affect per-graft pricing include the following.

Your Surgeon’s and Team’s Skills

Highly educated, trained hair restoration surgeons and teams typically charge more than less knowledgeable providers. That’s because they are confident in their abilities to give you a more natural-looking hairline and longer-lasting results. Dr. Malhotra and our hair restoration team have more than 50 years of combined experience working at top hair restoration practices. Our team knows how to expertly extract grafts and how to create a healthy, artistic hairline. Our advanced surgical and recovery protocols minimize graft loss and ensure an even, aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Type of Hair Restoration Surgery

Various approaches to hair restoration have different costs. In general, FUE hair restoration costs more than FUT, aka the strip method. Advanced hair restoration practices like the hidden donor technique can increase the amount of time needed for hair restoration surgery and may increase the cost of your procedure.

Number of Grafts

If your surgeon uses per-graft hair restoration pricing and you have an advanced degree of hair loss, you can expect to pay more. The number of grafts needed can vary significantly depending on your gender and the extent of your hair loss. Women typically need fewer grafts than men. An average female hair restoration generally includes 1,000 to 2,000 grafts, while men with male pattern baldness often require 2,000 grafts or more. Nationally, the typical cost for hair restoration can range from $6,000 to $12,000.

Number of Procedures

Hair transplant surgery can be a single-day or multi-step process. Dr. Malhotra creates a long-term plan for each patient, so they can enjoy great results now and for decades to come.

Additional Expenses Associated with Hair Restoration Surgery

In addition to your surgical costs, there are also expenses for the medications needed during and after surgery. While your health insurance will likely pay for some or all these, you can also look for lower-cost, generic versions to save money.

Optional medications, including topical medications, sprays, and ointments, are also available, but with our advanced hair restoration protocols, you might not need these supplementary treatments. Dr. Malhotra will help you determine if any additional therapies are necessary to maintain your results.

Is FUT Hair Restoration Cheaper than FUE?

Advances in FUE technology have considerably reduced the price for this sophisticated hair restoration method. For many patients, pricing for FUE and FUT are now similar, especially when patients need fewer than 2,500 grafts.

If you need a significant number of grafts, FUT may be a more affordable hair restoration option for you. However, FUT leaves a long, linear scar at the back of the head and is much more invasive than FUE.

FUT hair restoration costs: With FUT, a surgeon removes a strip of hair-bearing skin from the back of the scalp, then technicians divide it into grafts. FUT allows for faster harvesting of many grafts – up to 4,000 in about an hour. With FUT, a 2,000-graft case would cost approximately $8,000 to $9,000.
FUE hair restoration costs: With FUE, a surgeon removes grafts individually. The process can take three to five hours or longer, depending on the number of grafts needed. A 2,000-graft case with FUE typically costs about $10,000.

Dr. Malhotra only performs FUE hair restoration. If you’re a good candidate for FUT and interested in this treatment option, we can happily refer you to one of our trusted colleagues.

Does Female Hair Restoration Cost Less than Male Hair Restoration?

Women typically require fewer grafts than men to treat hair loss, so female hair restoration often costs less. Typically, female hair restoration with 1,000 to 1,200 grafts will cost between $6,000 and $8,000. Hair restorations to treat male pattern baldness may require upward of 2,000 grafts with a typical cost of $9,000 and $12,000.

Don’t Price Shop for Hair Restoration

If you shop around, you will likely find hair transplant providers that charge less than Balance Hair Restoration. However, before you commit to hair restoration at a cut-rate price, we encourage you to take a few minutes to research what you’ll be receiving for this lower rate. Hair transplantation is a time-consuming and challenging process.

A clinic that quotes you a cheaper price probably reduces expenses by using outdated methods or creating less-than-ideal results. Many patients ask about the affordability of procedures in Turkey. The majority of our patients have concerns about equipment sterility, re-used instruments, and control over who is involved in their procedure. Typically, the risks and uknowns are not worth it.

Lower-cost providers may also skip safety steps that reduce complications or lack the skill to treat complications in-house. Many patients who choose low-cost hair restoration providers end up with longer recoveries, more risks of problems, unexpected out-of-pocket expenses after surgery, and disappointing results.

When choosing a hair restoration provider, remember there’s no substitute for experience. Investing in your appearance by choosing a skilled team for your hair restoration results in a higher value for your hard-earned money.

What Is the Cost of a Hair Transplant?

Many factors contribute to the cost of hair restoration, including your location, the surgeon’s experience, the number of grafts, the method used to obtain the grafts, and whether you will require a single-stage or multiple-stage procedure. During your consultation at Balance Hair Restoration, Dr. Malhotra will consider these factors and perform a thorough examination of your hair and scalp to develop your unique hair restoration plan and determine your cost.

It’s important to remember that, while costly, hair transplants offer a successful long-lasting solution to hair loss for both men and women. Hair transplants provide long-term value and represent a significant investment in yourself, your self-image, your confidence, and your happiness.

How Much Should I Save for Hair Restoration?

The cost of hair restoration surgery is typically determined by the number of hair grafts necessary to achieve your goals. With the average cost of hair restoration surgery at Balance Hair Restoration ranging from $7,000 to $10,000, it’s important to create your budget considering the cost of the procedure, travel expenses, and your recovery time away from work.

It’s also important to note that to ensure you get the best results possible from your hair restoration procedure, it’s essential to select a reputable provider rather than choosing the least expensive option. Hair restoration procedures are not a time to discount shop.

Is Hair Restoration Worth the Cost?

Hair restoration takes a bit of patience. Healthy hair regrowth in the recipient site may take up to a year to show full results. But based on our experience with successful procedures and satisfied patients, hair restoration is well worth the expense. Many patients wish they had chosen it sooner.

Typically, hair transplants are far more successful than over-the-counter hair restoration treatments. The average cost of an FUE hair transplant is $7,000 to $10,000. However, we offer our Graft Growth Pledge, ensuring a success rate of at least 80% with most patients exceeding 90% growth. So, while hair transplants are not cheap, they provide long-term value as you won’t require other hair loss treatments, saving money spent on other ineffective therapies.

Does Insurance Cover Hair Transplant Costs?

Unfortunately, no. Most insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures like hair restoration. At Balance Hair Restoration, we are a cosmetic practice and do not accept insurance for any procedures.
