Hair Restoration Cost
Determining your hair restoration cost will depend on exactly how you intend to restore and stimulate new hair growth. There are a lot of different ways you can do this including hair grafts, topical applications and shampoos, or by utilizing certain medications. Another variable is the actual size in square centimeters of the balding area that needs treatment. All of these will affect the hair restoration cost calculation.
The hair restoration procedure where hair grafts or implants are inserted directly into the bald spot can be fairly costly and requrie a large initial outlay. Some doctors and clinics will set up a payment plan so you can spread the cost out over time. Some doctors will even allow you to make installment payments after you obtain the treatment. This option can work very well if you don’t have the money to afford a large hair restoratio cost all at once.
It has only recently been that this hair grafting process could be used for female pattern baldness treatments. The reason is that women not only develop pattern baldness they also usually have a thinning hair problem. With new techniques that have recently been developed this is no longer the case as donor areas with thick hair growth are no longer necessary. Implants are now a good hair restoration for women alternative.
Where as othe treatments seem less costly, over the years the total cost will add up to be quite a lot more. If you use either topical applications that are applied directly to your thinning hair, or hair restoration shampoos, you will have to keep this up continually in order for your hair to continue re-growing. Stopping use of these will allow your hair to start falling out again. One poplular over the counter shampoo product cost over $25 for a six ounce bottle and it should be used at least five times per wee. As you can see a single bottle of this product will not last very long if used as per the instructions. Therefore, the cost of this product for its recommended use will be quite costly.
Propecia is a brand name for the drug finasteride and is used by many men to inhibit further hair loss. Usually this drug costs about $60 for a supply that will last 90 days at the recommended dosage of one tablet per day. Over your life this could be an expensive hair restoration option.
By comparing the cost differences for hair restoration grafts, which is a one time cost, versus the ongoing cost of shampoos and medications you should be able to determine which hair restoration procedure is best for your budget.
