For most people the cost of a product or service is taken into consideration when making a purchase. From the small items such as fruits and vegetables to largest purchase you will ever make, few of us are immune to prices. When undergoing surgery for a nonelective procedure, which is covered by insurance, price rarely enters into the decision, especially if it is life threatening. For elective surgery, chances are that our Health Insurance (NHS) does not cover the cost and we must pay out of our pocket.

More specifically, we will discuss the price of a Hair Transplant and the different prices that are available in the UK and Hungary, as well as other locations. For the purpose of this article we will also assume that you have explored other Hair Loss remedies and have decided that you will undergo a Hair Transplant in your home country or abroad.

What is the Cost of a Hair Transplant?

There is no straight answer to this question as the price can vary from one country to the other or one clinic to another. The price difference does not necessarily indicate a change in quality and a costlier transplant could certainly be of lesser quality. Much of the cost and quality have to do with the clinic, doctors, type of procedure and the country of the clinic. This might seem a lot to absorb, but fortunately there is plenty of information on the Internet about Hair Transplants. Also, many of the clinics have reviews on Google and/or their sites, which should provide some essential feedback.

When looking into a Hair Restoration and researching clinics and prices, there are never any “stupid” questions. Some clinics are a bit condescending and act as though they are doing you a favor. In this case I would advise to search for another clinic, as the competition is fierce in terms of price, quality and care.

The cost of a Hair Transplant will sometimes start with the consultation/evaluation. This is very important, although a live consult is usually not necessary. Because of the Internet and cameras/videos, a doctor can attain a good idea of your condition through this medium. Of course, there is a medical questionnaire which is essential in establishing any medical or health issues that might be of concern. Some consults are free, while others can be as much as £250.00 in the UK and Ireland as well as non-refundable. To put this in perspective, the £250.00 you pay for a consult will more than cover the cost of a roundtrip/return flight from both the UK and Ireland to Hungary. This will make sense further along in the article.

Are Hair Transplants costlier in specific countries?

Yes, there are a group of countries/regions where you can almost be guaranteed a costlier procedure. As we mentioned about, the UK, Ireland, Western Europe as well as the US, Canada, and Australia provide some of the most expensive procedures. There are many reasons for this although the two main ones have to do with cost of living in these countries as well as the average income of the populace. And because all of these countries and regions have a market economy with competitive options, if a clinic is too expensive for your budget, then you have plenty of affordable options.

The below prices are based on the FUE2 Safe System. This system is the most advanced and only provided by those clinics who have been certified on this specific procedure.

*Amount and Price in UK **Amount and Price in Hungary
1,000 Hairs – £1,700 1,000 hairs – £990 (save £710 or 42%)

6,000 Hairs – £8,400 6,000 hairs – £3,390 (save £5,010 or 60%)


* The Price quoted is based on an average and is conservatively low. Many Clinics charge more which does not include the consult which is usually on average
£250

** The Price quote for Hungary is what we charge and includes accommodations and as well as roundtrip transfers for the Airport as well as the Clinic.

As stated above the cost of the consult in the UK will cover the cost of the flight to and from Budapest. Also, many of these clinics do not provide pricing on their websites and state that when you have your £250 consult, the pricing will be discussed. When you are knocked over by the cost, the clinic will generously offer you a payment plan. Payment plans are for cars and houses not Hair Transplant procedures. The cost in Budapest with everything included will offer peace of mind without another monthly bill.

Will I sacrifice Quality for a less expensive Procedure?

With any transaction, especially one which involves your health, it is essential to ask about the quality of the procedure. In some Hair Transplant cases and countries, the quality of the surgery does suffer because of the price. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, although in the case of Hair Transplants in Hungary, there are no issues.

One of the main and most important reasons for the price differences, goes back to the cost of living in the specific country. Everything from rent, personnel, insurance, equipment, etc., are passed along from the clinic to the patient. In the case of UK and more specifically a clinic on Harley Street in London the rent could be twice that of a location outside of the city. A more beneficial example is Hungary, where the cost of living is more than 50% cheaper that of the UK and Western Europe.

The clinics in Hungary are staffed by many doctors who were formally students at the Medical Schools. With some of the top Universities in Europe and beyond, many students decide to come here for school and stay and work here after graduation. This provides a large pool of skilled Doctors who are multilingual and can support foreign patients.
