Available Financing Options for Hair Transplants

Cosmetic surgeries have always been expensive and only affordable to the rich and those with celebrity status. Serious problems have been ignored by many because of the prohibitive costs. Same holds good for hair transplants although hair loss affects both physical appearance and emotional balance.

To make hair transplants more affordable several institutions have come forward to grant easy payment plans where they pay the entire amount to the surgeon or clinic which renders the service. The patient will have to pay back the loan in easy installments only.

Hair transplant costs are high because of the sophisticated instruments used, the specialized skill that the surgeon offers and the optimum conditions that have to be maintained in the clinic to make the entire treatment successful. The per graft cost is usually $5 and around 5000 grafts may be required in most cases.

Some clinics like Advanced Hair Restoration offer continued treatment at lower cost - only $3 per graft. Longer the service, cost per graft reduces. This type of financial arrangement is beneficial for most patients as extent of hair loss, its pattern, type of hair and density all affect the cost.

Some clinics give travel reimbursement for patients who opt for a big package besides also giving accommodation in good hotels for free.

Finance organizations like MedicalFinancing.com help patients by offering many financing programs and flexible payment options. The interest rates are as low as 5.99% and no prepayment penalties are imposed.

The patient has to find out the total cost for his hair transplant from a good consultant in a clinic and then get the financing. Special credit cards that are customized according to hair transplant patients are offered by some institutions. Like other medical financing services hair transplant patients also get cash/check facility, credit card, easy monthly payment plans, zero down payment, interest free options for 12, 18 or 24 months, zero payment penalty and so on.

Like Bosley Hair Transplant clinic some clinics also provide easy financing options following a no-obligation consultation at the clinic. The plan and cost depends on extent of hair loss, hair available in donor area, nature, texture and color of hair and results required.

Bosley arranges financing options via credit agencies although it is not affiliated to them and does not receive any benefits. The clinic makes arrangements for the benefit of patients who tend to ignore transplants because of huge expenses and instead opt for wigs and medical treatments.

Dr.Sean Behnam at Dermatology Hair Restoration offers a full day’s care for each patient and customizes the treatment method to get best results. The cost may seem high but his clinic offers easy financing like 6-18 months zero interest rate. The clinic offers longer term plans for 60 months also with low monthly payment options at low interest rates.

When patients feel a need for hair transplant it is better to do a thorough research of clinics, treatment methods and available financing options. With greater need and more interested patients, financing by clinics through credit agencies will get popular. This is the best method for easy financing.

Mild pain can persist over the course of postop treatment but he generally just resumes for a few days.

Who can deliver the best surgery?

Is this scarring noticeable?

In most cases an experienced professional can limit the look of scarring and noticeable marks from the surgery.

How long does it take for the hair to grow?

In most cases hair growth will start within eight months and you can start to see a full effect from the hair transplant after a full year. The initial signs of growth can usually start between 3 to 4 months after the surgery.

Are the results permanent?

Will I need another hair transplant?

The need for another transplant really depends on the individual. With a solid foundation surgery and working to potentially bolster results with drug therapy, you can improve the stability of the hair that was transplanted as well as prevent further loss.
