First of all, it should be clear that the Hair transplan cost depend entirely on the area of your hair loss, that is, the number of hair follicles you need to transplant determines the final price of hair transplantation.
There is a calculation formula that you can remember:
Hair transplantation cost = number of transplants x unit price of transplantation.
Simply put, if the price of each hair follicle is the same, the larger the area of hair loss, the more hair follicles need to be transplanted, resulting in a corresponding increase in the cost of hair transplantation.
In addition, many people may not know that one follicular unit is not equal to one hair . In fact, there are 1 to 4 hairs in one follicular unit .
How to determine the transplant area? This is related to the ” three-court and five-eye “ measurement method commonly used in judging the proportion of facial features.
“Three sections and five eyes”
There is a concept that is often mentioned in the field of plastic surgery. Many people who know about plastic surgery are familiar with this term. It is usually use as a standard to measure whether a person’s facial features are in a harmonious proportion.
However, what you may not know is that this concept also has important applications in hair transplant surgery.
Before the operation, my assistant or I will determine the approximate scope of the implantation area based on the aesthetic standard of “three courts and five eyes” .
Next, transfer the copied description information to the hair follicle area measurement template .
Finally, the number of hair follicles that need to be transplant is calculate based on the area of hair loss on the measurement template and the data such as hair follicle diameter and hair follicle distribution density obtained through hair follicle detection.
Does the “number of transplants” mentioned above refer to the “number of hair follicles” or the “number of hair roots” ? There is a difference between the two.
Because the number of hair follicles, the number of hair roots and the area of hair transplantation required vary, there are three different billing methods.
A. Number of hair follicles
We learned that there are usually 1 to 4 hairs in each hair follicle . If the fee is based on the number of hair follicles, the price per hair follicle unit using FUE technology is 10 Chinese yuan .
For example, if you want to transplant 10 hair follicle units, the total cost of hair transplantation is 100 Chinese yuan.
B. Number of hair roots
If the fee is charged according to the number of hair roots, the price per hair is 5 yuan . When 3 hairs are taken out from 1 hair follicle unit , the fee is 15 yuan ; if 4 hairs are taken out , the fee is 20 chinese yuan .
Assuming that 10 hair follicle units are to be transplant , the total cost of hair transplantation is 150 Chinese yuan and 200 yuan respectively. If the total number of transplanted hair follicles is the same, the cost charged by the number of hair roots is twice that charged by the number of hair follicles .
C. Hair transplant area
If calculate base on the hair transplant area, the billing method is: base on the cost per square centimeter, multiply it by the total hair transplant area to get the total cost.
However, there may be a problem with this approach, namely how much hair is transplant per unit area.
Since the fee is charge by area, you only need to make sure that enough scalp area is cover, not necessarily completely.
For example, if the hair density is high, there may not be much difference in visual effect between transplanting 30 hair follicles and 50 hair follicles, but in fact, the effect of transplanting 50 hair follicle units will be better .
If only 30 follicular units are transplant , then although it will cost more, the actual effect may not be ideal.
Therefore, there is a lot of uncertainty in charging by area, which can easily lead to high costs but suboptimal results.
Taking all factors into consideration, charging by the number of hair roots is more expensive, charging by the area of hair loss is highly unstable, while charging by the number of hair follicles is relatively clear and cost-effective.
The price is roughly compose like this. Of course, the specific price depends on the hair loss situation and the technique used.
