There is a common misunderstanding of hair loss occurring only in men and aging being the main cause of it all. Women may also be subject to hair loss with multiple causes seen in both men and women. Hair Loss may be caused by genetics as well as a side effect of stress or certain medications. The good news is with all the advancements in medicine, hair restoration is now possible and recommended for hair loss patients.
Hair restoration may be completed on all areas of the body lacking or losing hair as there are many hair restoration procedures more commonly referred to as a hair transplant procedure. A hair transplant generally refers to taking hair from a “donor area” and transplanting it into an area of the body that requires hair restoration. There are different types of hair transplant procedures that use different transplantation techniques, each providing their own unique benefits.
For prospective hair transplant patients, hair transplant cost may be a concern in receiving the procedure. Many hair transplant centers offer financing, and may charge per hair graft averaging about $5/graft so the cost may depend on how many grafts are needed per procedure. Financing options are even offered at 0% interest, or have low interest rates so cost isn’t typically a deciding factor for prospective hair transplant patients.
Another concern for hair loss patients is finding an experienced and trusted hair surgeon to complete their procedure. During the initial consultation a patient should feel confident and optimistic about their procedure with their hair surgeon and come prepared to discuss concerns.
