US Hair Restoration Management,

Q:

Dr. Mohebi,

Is it still possible to do the procedure on standby to save on the cost of hair transplant? That’s what I did the last time and my schedule is flexible, so that would be my preference if possible.

A:

Yes, being put on the standby list is completely doable. That saves a lot of money for you on your hair transplant costs if you have a flexible schedule. The standby rates has made our hair restorations very affordable this season. You must first check with our staff at US Hair Restoration to notify them on when you would like to have your hair transplant. Although standby rates are subject to change, you will always receive 10% off the cost of your hair transplant since you had a procedure done with us in the past.

Please check our website for more on the costs of hair transplantation.

The costs of hair transplant is one of the critical factors for many hair loss sufferers who need a hair restoration procedure. The economic turmoil of the last few years keeps many people from spending on the items that are not essential or that might be considered luxurious.

Cosmetic procedure and hair restoration costs could be considered one of the luxury items for some people, while for others it is a necessity that can improve their self worth and directly enhance their career, personal and social life. An interesting observation is that many people visit US Hair Restoration in the consideration of having a hair transplant procedure right after they lost their jobs.

The reason to prioritize a hair restoration for them has been clear; they need all help they can get to stay competitive in the job market. Some of these people were able to pay for their hair restoration procedure or they financed the entire hair transplant cost. While others were not able to qualify to finance the cost of their hair transplant simply had to keep up with their balding, knowing that it might hurt them in market place and in their social life.

US Hair Restoration recognizes the need and the responsibility of making our medical service in hair restoration accessible to people from all walks of life. Understanding this social need is magnified by the tough economic times. Our affordable hair replacement costs is indicative of our commitment to meet that need while continuing to provide the highest techniques of hair transplantation to our family of patients.

Visit our website and find out how you may qualify for these affordable prices with 0% interest financing. In addition to our 0% interest financing, US Hair Restoration offers its generous standby program which provides an opportunity for many more people to elect to restore their hair at affordable hair transplant prices.

Our standby program allows us present way more affordable costs of hair transplantations to the patients who can be flexible with the timing of their hair transplantation. For more information on how the most advanced technology and medical procedures in hair restoration are being made available to you and to learn more about our summer special affordable prices please visit our main website: ushairrestoration.com or call our offices at (888) 302-8747.

We all agree it is a rough time for most people with the current economic state we are living in. At US Hair Restoration we hear many stories of individuals who greatly need to get a Hair Restoration surgery and want to do it with us, but are worried about Hair Transplant surgery costs. It is funny to tell you I have heard questions like “Doc, what is the hair transplant cheapest scenario?” from some of my young patients who know they need something done but are not sure if it would be affordable for them.  Every practice will have its own individual hair transplant price range, and here we want to emphasize the importance of not trading quality simply to appease the desire to find a cheap hair transplant.

What is the cost of my hair transplant:

Men and women hair transplant costs are the same and determined by the technique used to harvest grafts (FUE vs. Strip FUT) and how many grafts need to be transplanted. This is different for every patient. To give a precise estimation for the patient’s hair transplant costs, it requires a consultation by a hair transplant surgeon.

Quality vs. Affordability?

We believe in quality and patient satisfaction first and cannot provide one of those elements without the other. Even with all the competition in America and elsewhere, finding the most value for hair transplant cost in the USA is critical. We have plans which are catered toward meeting this need by giving an opportunity for financing a hair transplant.

Financing, Discounts, Other affordable rates for hair transplants!

Hair transplant financing is an opportunity we provide to all eligible patients. A patient who qualifies for hair transplant financing can receive a two year, 0% APR deal which makes paying their hair loss transplant cost an available option. Many have, and continue to take advantage of this affordable option for their hair restoration surgery.

Lastly, in our goal to provide an affordable cost of a hair transplant in the USA during this time of economic struggle, we have our stand-by program. We are excited to announce that if a patient is put on the stand-by list, they will get significant discount on total surgery costs.  We might also have special rates for students and group discounts if two or more member of a family or friends want to do their surgery within a month.  These additional offers have been a bridge to many who desire the procedure, in a time when money has been scarce.

Hair loss in men is a very common condition.  However, it may affect a man’s life style, career, self confidence and sex life. It seems a bit shallow, but this is the reality of how many men describe their experience.

Today, modern hair transplantation can help millions of people who have been struggling with hair loss. Many people who suffer from hair loss may hesitate to restore their hair due to hair transplant costs which seem outrageous! Should it really cost an arm and a leg to have a new and improved hair line you ask?

Hair transplantation costs can vary from $3,000 to $18,000.This is solely determined by the extent of hair loss, type of hair restoration procedure, and skill of the hair transplant surgeon. It is important for a hair loss sufferer to educate him or herself regarding the available options for hair restoration – transplant. It is also very important to learn about the procedure and find a knowledgeable hair transplant surgeon to proceed with the process of  hair restoration.

The truth of today is, despite the wide range for the cost of hair transplant surgery, you might find a doctor who offers an affordable hair transplant, who doesn’t charge an arm and a leg, and still maintians a quality standard. The surgery will be cost effective, and the results should last a lifetime!!

Check our site regarding further information on our affordable rates  for hair transplants with our “standby” list option.

Below are some responses to a few basic questions we received from a patient online:

How many grafts/hairs would I require for a good restoration? Could you please point to some examples.

Although for most cases with only frontal hair loss we recommend 1500-2000 grafts on average, your personal recommendation can be above or below that number depending on your eligibility, extent of balding area, history, donor density and scalp laxity.

An example of a female who received 1609 grafts with us can be seen here: http://www.ushairrestoration.com/hairrestorationbeforeaftergallery-view.php?album=93

What is the cost for hair transplants (including everything – procedural cost, fees, everything)? I understand you will not be in a position to get me the exact figures without a personal meeting but I need to have some rough idea to estimate my costs.

A hair transplant procedure performed at US Hair Restoration is calculated based on the number of grafts recommended to you. To determine what is recommended for your specific case, we recommend attending a free consultation with Dr. Parsa Mohebi at your earliest convenience. To view additional information on our general hair transplant costs please visit our hair transplant cost page.

There are times that US Hair Restoration offers Standby Rate discounts available to those with flexible schedules for booking the procedure.  Our stand-by option can offer you an additional discount (for discount rates and availability of this option please call 1-888-302-8747). You can also use our financing option in addition to that for your hair restoration.

Can the whole procedure be done in one sitting?

Yes. Overall, most hair restoration procedures performed by at US Hair Restoration will be completed in one day.  Occasionally patients may need more density that is not possible to create in one session or they have extensive hair loss that requires more than one hair transplant session.

Does FUE still have shock loss risks?
Yes, regardless of the technique of harvesting hair we recommend some sort of medication to prevent shock loss after hair transplant surgery.

In regards to your in-depth questions on exact number of grafts, donor hair growth, care after hair transplant, etc:
I recommend calling to schedule a free 30-60 minute consultation in which we can explain more detailed information to you personally and recommend an accurate number of grafts for your specific case.

Q:

Dear Doctor,

I am 14 years old and I have hair loss in form of CTTA and my parents agreed to let me get the hair transplant, but will it actually take months for my hair to grow and I need to know how much it cost for the operation please.

A:

Congenital Temporal Triangular Alopecia (CTTA) is a congenital condition that is noted by parents at birth or soon after that.  CTTA could easily be treated with hair transplantation at any age.  At US Hair Restoration, we charge patients with the number of grafts and since patients with CTTA only need a small number of grafts, the cost falls into our minimum charge category. Having said that you need to have a consultation with us so we can confirm the diagnosis and make sure you are a good candidate for a hair transplant surgery.

Transplanted hair will grow in 2 to 3 months after hair restoration surgery and will become even better than that for the following months after that.  Since the location of the transplanted hair is only in the temple areas, it may not show as much since most people can easily comb their hair to cover the hair loss area.

Please feel free to call our office at 1 (888) 302-8747 and schedule your complementary consultation at one of our Southern California offices. If you are contacting from other states, you can send us an inquiry through our website and we contact you to complete your online consultation.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

According to a recent L.A. Times article, people in our current economy are scaling back on elective cosmetic treatments, and finding ways to negotiate costs and figuring out what’s really necessary (e.g. Botox) and what’s not (e.g. massages and body scrubs).  We have posted on Recession and hair transplant cost before.

US Hair Restoration understands that people have found themselves in challenging economic circumstances. Our goal has always been, “offering quality hair transplant for everyone”. We want to relieve the pressure on people by responding to patients’ needs for more affordable hair transplant prices.

Every year, we have a summer hair transplant special, but this year, we’re going to offer it several months in advance as part of an unprecedented and huge hair transplant cost reduction. And we promise it will be the lowest price ever for our hair transplants using our standby program.

For those who are seriously considering getting a hair restoration procedure, the best time to get one is when we have this reduced-price offer. This is a limited offer and the price might not ever be this low. Now is the time to take advantage of it.

Offering hair transplant cost discounts in our standby program helps us to fill all openings in our operating room schedules. On the other hand, for those people who can be a bit more flexible with the timing of the surgery, it helps them get a US Hair Restoration-quality hair transplant done at historically low rates, at one of our Southern California offices: Beverly Hills, Encino, and Orange County.

The bright side to the recession is that retailers and companies are offering lower-than-usual prices for their products, knowing consumers have become increasingly tight-fisted about their cash. Our earlier-than-usual summer special is our way of saying we are sensitive to our patients’ financial circumstances.

Recently, the Senate proposed a health legislation which includes a 5% tax on cosmetic procedures. The cosmetic surgeries include hair restoration procedures and many other surgeries for men and women.

The potential 5% tax on cosmetic surgeries is a no-win situation for American citizens and potential hair transplant patients. By levying a tax on cosmetic procedures throughout the United States, it may further cripple our stumbling economy and reduce the much-needed funding states receive from cosmetic surgeons in order to build, for example, a high-speed train in California, create more innovative after-school programs for teenagers, poverty intervention programs for inner-city residents, more efficient forms of public transportation (e.g. metro rails).

But, at the heart of the issue, I believe, is the obstruction of an American citizen’s right to the pursuit of happiness. Through an orthodontist, people have the right to get their teeth straightened out; by undergoing a vasectomy, a married couple no longer has to deal with an unwanted pregnancy; through the purchase of an electric hybrid Honda Civic, a motorist can fight sky-rocketing gas prices.

The government doesn’t tax citizens for making these types of decisions. People do them because they believe these things will improve their lives. But why impose a tax only on cosmetic surgeries? Where do we draw the line? Who can be the judge of whether a hair transplant is a luxury for a 25-year-old man who started to lose hair and looked less attractive, which led him to struggle with social anxiety and feel depressed a lot of the time?

I believe this young person ought to be given the same opportunities as the other non-bald peers in his life, especially when we are talking about dating, relationships, and employment prospects in this increasingly-competitive time. Who knows, if this legislation passes, maybe in the near future, people who wear contacts will be taxed an additional 5%.

At US Hair Restoration, we perform hair transplants for lots of patients who travel from other countries, such as Canada, Europe, and the Middle East. Many of these patients visit the United States because they want, for their cosmetic surgeries, to be exposed to the most modern techniques; but many of them may consider the cost of cosmetic procedures, too. Increasing costs for these surgeries may deprive us from a potential source of income and deprive them of potential patients.

Currently, some states impose a tax on cosmetic procedures. According to doctors who work in these states, the results haven’t been pretty. The plan has fallen 59% short of its projected revenue; it’s proven to be an administrative pain-in-the-behind, and it was forcing many prospective clients to obtain cosmetic surgery services in surrounding states, resulting in reduced tax revenue collected from plastic surgeons from cosmetic-tax-imposing states.

For myself, as the medical director of US Hair Restoration, I’m against this legislation for the simple fact that people ought to have the freedom to do what they think will make them happy–without imposing additional costs on them. Our motto at US Hair Restoration has always been: “quality hair transplants for everyone.” Some of my patients have told me that they have lost a lot of life opportunities because of their baldness. Why not allow these wonderful people to get back what they deserve: their hair.

Let’s be fair to all people. After all, we live in the land of liberty.

Hair restoration cost is one of the main questions that is on the mind of most people who want to go through the process of hair transplantation. There is a wide range when it comes to the cost for hair restoration surgery nationwide.

The cost of hair restoration has never been better considering the quality of hair restoration surgery that could be offered these days. When you shop around for hair transplant surgery, you have to be aware that it’s not like shopping for a car or a shampoo that could be found with the same quality in different location. There is also a wide range for the quality of service that you receive.

Hair transplant has been evolving the last 10 years. Some hair restoration centers kept on with the new techniques and technology, but many stopped at some point in between.  I still see patients who received micrograft surgery one to two years ago in a hair transplant clinic in Beverly Hills. That is not all and you may see procedures done without proper attention to the patient’s facial aesthetics. Missing some of the details in the process may make the results disastrous. Little changes in direction and distribution of transplanted hair may be the difference between a happy camper and an unsatisfied client.

Aside from the artistic aspects of a hair transplant, preparation and maintenance of the grafts are very crucial and are not to be taken lightly, which is another cause of poor growth.

Having said that, getting a hair transplant by an artistic hair restoration surgeon could be done affordably these days. Medical hair restoration cost has been at the lowest since the birth of hair transplant surgery. Due to the current economy, many hair restoration centers have special packages and promotions that wouldn’t be available in a more stable economy. We at US Hair Restoration have our special promotion: 20% discount on standby rate and we also give 0% financing for two years or low interest financing for five to six years.

Cost of hair restoration being so little is a good excuse for many people to take advantage of the situation and get their hair restoration surgery done with significant discount. There is a big warning, though. When it comes to hair restoration cost, you have to understand that this is a customer beware market.

We are giving 20% off our high quality state-of-the-art hair transplant surgery costs. That brings the rate down to $3.2/grafts from our original cost ($4/graft). Still you can find hair restoration centers that offer cheap hair transplant surgery at $2/graft, but you are not comparing apples to apples.

You are getting a procedure with permanent effect on your face and your life. You do not want to take this lightly. If a center used the best standard in their surgeries and the most qualified personnel, they still cannot go lower than a certain price or it won’t be profitable for them. So beware of huge discounts and unreasonably low rates. Go meet the doctor or several of them. Educate yourself and ask proper questions about the technique and services being provided.

Never do cost shopping when it comes to cosmetic surgery. There are many hair restoration centers that offer cheap hair restoration. Remember, there is one thing about hair restoration surgery that can be both good and bad: the result is permanent, good or bad!
