If you have been losing your hair for a while now, maybe you have even gone bald on top, I am sure you have looked into all kinds of possibilities to get your hair growing again. You probably tried some natural remedies, and maybe a lotion or two, and possibly a foam but you realized that none of these will actually cause hair follicles that have gone dormant to come back to life. Once the follicles have stopped producing hair shaft material they are often times encased in a fibrotic material that basically renders them completely ineffective. At this point, the only option is to have new hair follicles transplanted into the bald spots on your scalp.

If you have looked into this procedure at all you know the hair transplant prices are very expensive. There is a good reason that hair replacement systems are expensive. Although the standard procedure is done in a doctor’s office or clinic there is a lot involved in the process. The surgeon first must remove a portion of scalp from the back of the head where there is still good hair growth. Next, a team of medical assistants must then remove the individual hair follicles along with all their support structure from this scrap of scalp and prepare them for implantation. Next the doctor needs to make very small incisions in the scalp for placement of each hair follicle graft. He or she is very careful to insert them in such a way as to match the directional growth of the surrounding hairs in order to give a result that looks as natural as possible.

It is no wonder that each hair transplant graft can cost anywhere from $3 to $7 or more. There is a lot of work involved in this method. One way to decrease the hair implants surgery costs is to visit a clinic that uses the Direct Hair Implant method of hair restoration. This method eliminates the step which requires a team of medical assistants and their cost. Instead, the surgeon uses a specially designed medical instrument to remove the hair follicles directly from the scalp and then place them into the bald area in one step. This method also allows for much less disruption of the scalp as there is no need to actually cut away part in order to remove the hair follicles.
