Surgery Fees
The cost of carrying out a quality hair transplant is considerable as the process requires a team of highly skilled medical staff and technicians. On any one transplant surgery there may be up to 18 technicians, nurses and surgeons working on each patient. There is no low-cost method of providing a permanent solution to hair loss by surgical means. Therefore, if cost is the principal factor guiding your decision about whether or not to have a hair transplant, we strongly advise that you do not have surgery but that you consider the medical treatments instead. Having an inferior quality hair transplant carried out can have serious, negative and long-term consequences.
As one patient put it: “You never remember the price of a good job and you never forget the price of a bad one”. The price per transplanted follicular unit graft is €10
Please note the cost per transplanted graft above does not relate to the transplant of scars, eyebrows and repair work. These patients will be quoted on a case by case basis and a quote will be provided at the consultation with the consultant surgeons.
We estimate the numbers of follicular units as accurately as we can in advance of surgery but, as the density of follicular units varies all over the scalp, the actual number of follicles transplanted may be slightly higher or lower than our estimates. A careful audit is kept during surgery and you will only be charged for the actual number of follicular units transplanted.
A breakdown of charges and an invoice for surgery fees will be provided after your surgery. All fees are payable on the day of surgery and it is our policy that all accounts must be settled in full within a week of surgery. New legislation included in the Finance Act 2010 indicates that it may no longer be possible to claim back a percentage of costs for hair loss treatment on the Med 1 form.
