How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost in the Philadelphia Area?
Written by Dr. Griffin
Thinning or balding areas on the scalp can develop due to genetics, hormonal changes, certain medical conditions, chronological aging, or all of the above! Surgical hair transplant treatments offer many benefits for patients dealing with any of these conditions, including a more attractive appearance, improved confidence, and a natural looking hairline as the hair that is transplanted will have the same color and texture as existing hair. Advanced techniques also mean there will be no visible scar and less maintenance compared to non-surgical hair restoration treatments. With all of that in mind, patients seeking the best solution possible from modern techniques are also probably wondering about modern pricing. Here’s what anyone considering a procedure should know about hair transplant costs in the Philadelphia area.
First, there is no simple answer to the question, “How much does a hair transplant cost?” The surgery is customized to the individual patient and the total cost of a hair transplant is highly variable.
The ultimate price tag depends on a variety of factors, but mostly on the amount of hair that’s being moved. There will be a much higher cost involved in transplanting a significant amount of hair compared to treating small areas.
Where you live, the extent of your hair loss, the type of hair transplant procedure you choose, the skill of the surgeon, and travel costs (if you need to journey long distances to find a qualified provider) are some of the factors that may also affect the cost of your hair transplant surgery.
Note that since hair restoration is considered to be a cosmetic procedure by most insurance companies, these costs will usually be entirely out of pocket. On average, it may range from anywhere from $4,000 to $15,000—but even these are just ballpark figures.
Keep in mind that there may be additional expenses involved in recovery from a hair transplant, such as the costs of pain medications, anti-inflammatory medications, and antibiotics. Our team can discuss pricing with you during your consultation, as well as payment plans that can help to bring the often life-changing procedure within reach of people who may never have expected that they could have it done.
