Thinking about a transplant and wondering how much it costs — and why prices vary so much between centres? Here’s a clear global cost picture, the five factors behind the differences, the techniques and the results.
The main techniques
- FUT (strip): a strip of scalp is divided into grafts and implanted.
- FUE (extraction): follicles harvested individually — ideal for delicate areas like the brows.
- Nano/Micro-FUE: for the finest areas — brows, lashes, beard and moustache gaps.
- DHI (Choi pens): harvests and implants in one step, no pre-cut channels.
- Stem cell therapy: cells harvested (via fat, follicles or plasma) and injected into thinning areas.
Cost in Egypt
Egypt combines low prices with quality care; prices reach about USD 3,000, and at Sherif Clinic they range from USD 1,000 to 2,000.
Cost in the Arab world
The Gulf is the most expensive regionally — Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait range from about USD 3,000 to 7,500, driven up in cities such as Dubai, Riyadh and Jeddah.
Cost globally
Per the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the global average is about USD 4,000 to 8,000 (up to 11,000). The USA is the most expensive, from about USD 5,000 to 20,000.
5 factors that change the price
- The sophistication and precision of the technique.
- The size of the bald area and the length of the procedure.
- The surgeon’s experience, reputation and qualifications.
- The standard of care at the centre.
- The number of grafts (typically 2,000–4,000).
Results
Results become visible around the sixth month after passing through shedding (week three) and regrowth (month three); by month six most of the scalp is covered (~5 cm long), with the final result at 12–18 months.
