Many people out there are suffering with hair loss, baldness or thinning hair. This can affect one’s appearance and self-esteem, and that is where hair transplantation comes in. Hair transplant is a procedure that extracts hair grafts from a donor area of the head and transferring them into the thinning or balding areas of the scalp. The procedure is more effective compared to the use of supplements and topical products to encourage hair growth on the target areas. Read on to learn more.
Basic Hair Transplant Methods
Hair transplant can be done in two main ways; FUT or Strip Method and Follicular Unit Extraction Method. The FUT method is a relatively older technique where a strip of skin with hair is extracted from the donor area and the follicular units are harvested from the strip and implanted in to the target area. However, this method leaves huge scars in the donor area. On the other hand, in the FUE method, individual hair grafts are harvested from the donor area and transplanted to the thinning or affected area of the scalp. This technique is faster and less invasive compared to FUT. Thanks to technological advancements, there are different tools and systems surgeons use to make FUE method better.
Robotic Hair Transplant is an improved FUE technique that uses advanced computer vision algorithms and robotics. There are different systems that can be used for the procedure, and HARRTS Automated Hair Transplant System is one of them. This system is result-oriented and ensures healthy hair grafts are harvested and transplanted to the balding area of your scalp. The system gives a clear view of the donor area, calculates all the healthy grafts that can be harvested and harvests them safely. Besides, the system also prepares the target areas for the procedure and implants the follicular units in the right way and that increases chances of survival.
Costs of hair transplantation
Hair transplantation is considered a relatively expensive procedure but it is not if you really want to restore your hair. Traditional FUT or strip method of hair transplant costs from as low as $4,000 to around $15,000 on the higher end. However, the cost will depend on the surgeon, facility, and the amount of hair extracted and transplanted. For the FUE technique it can cost between $3,500 to $15,000 USD. If you want a result oriented technique like robotic automated hair transplant, you should get ready to spend between $12,000 to $21,000 USD. The procedure is relatively expensive as it costs at least $6 per graft. Some facilities can ask for more. Therefore, before you choose a facility, you should first research and do price comparison. The procedure can be expensive but it is very effective and there are high chances to see best results in the end.
What affects cost of robotic hair transplant
There are many factors that can affect the cost of robotic hair transplant. The number of hair extracted and transplanted is the main determining factor. Also, the experience of the surgeons and their demand. In most cases, experienced surgeons will ask for more. Also, if a surgeon is in high demand in your area, they are likely to charge more money for the procedure. The cost will also be determined by the number of sessions. If you go for multiple sessions, you will definitely pay more.
Final Words
You should not let hair loss or baldness affect your self-esteem. If your budget allows, you can consider Robotic Hair Transplant procedures to restore your hair. The procedures are effective, safer and more result oriented compared to traditional hair transplant techniques.
