How To Budget for Your Dallas Hair Restoration

Have you put off pursuing hair restoration because you think it is out of your price range? You’re not alone. Many people delay hair transplant procedures because of the cost. Don’t keep making your desire for hair restoration a someday item. Instead, learn how to easily budget today so you can enjoy a full head of hair in the near future. We’ll walk you through several important factors to consider when you begin budgeting for hair restoration.

Explore Your Options

The most important consideration when researching hair restoration is locating a clinic with a strong reputation and skilled surgeons. Do your research, consider the education and experience of the surgeons and testimonials from patients. Ask about the length of a surgeon’s transplant career as well as how many procedures they have done.

Medical experience does impact cost, but it is worth paying for. Do not cut corners to save money, there is no cost savings that is worth a poor outcome. Successful hair transplants can deliver both a fair price and your desired results.

When searching for reputable hair transplant clinics, consider how far you are willing to travel. If you are willing to consider a larger area you may find a better price.

The amenities offered by a clinic as well as pre- and post-operative care offerings can all impact the bottom line. Ask if the clinic would recommend any additional therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen, exosomes, or red-light therapy and how this would impact the total cost. Ask also if you would benefit from repeated procedures and how much that would add to the cost.

Learn About Types of Treatments

Hair restoration has evolved. Treatment is not one size fits all or one and done procedure. The best outcome is usually a combination of individualized treatments to address your unique needs. There are different approaches that vary in cost including SmartGraft hair restoration, using micro-transplants of your own hair and exosome therapy utilizing stem cell exosomes for regeneration. The number of sessions, hair grafts, and screening tests can all impact the cost of your treatment.

When budgeting for your procedure, it is important to gather all costs, including any associated medical or administrative fees as well. A trusted hair restoration expert will consider your goals and share information on options and associated costs.

Understand Pricing Structure

Since many insurance providers consider hair transplants cosmetic procedures, they may not be covered by insurance. On average, transplant surgery can range from $3,000 to $15,000^[1]. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area the average cost for hair transplant surgery is $10,000^[2]. Don’t let this amount scare you off. Many factors impact the final cost for your unique treatment plan.

The cost of a hair transplant is often largely priced based on the number of grafts, with each graft costing a certain amount and discounts available. A graft can cost on average $5 – $10. Typically, a hair transplant will use between 500 and 3,000 grafts^[2]. Smaller sessions of up to 1,000 grafts could total between $4,000 and $6,900^[2]. More involved procedures may use up to 2,500 grafts and cost up to $12,000^[2].

Surgeons prefer not to exceed 3,500 grafts in one session^[2]. Hair grafts for body or facial hair (such as beards) are priced differently and may average up to $15 per graft^[2]. Usually, the price per graft will decrease as the number of grafts increases.

Factor in Financing

If you don’t have the full amount for your procedure in your bank account, financing is an option. Financing plans often let you pay for your hair transplant in installments. Some clinics offer flexible repayment options and competitive interest rates thanks to in-house financing options. Personal loans and healthcare credit cards are also options. Both can offer funds and flexibility. 

If you choose to use financing, be sure to consider the impact of interest and how and when you plan to pay back any borrowed funds to avoid penalties. Just as you gather information to decide on your unique treatment plan, you should gather information on financing. 

Create a Timeline

Once you decide which surgeon and procedure to pursue, and understand the costs and financing, you should create a timeline. A medical professional can help you determine the optimum time for a hair transplant. You may decide to move forward right away to pursue the best result, or you may take some time to save before your hair transplant surgery. Only you know what is right for you.
