Senior Member MachoVato Posted April 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 15, 2021 Sadly, the US has a lot of expensive clinics in fancy cities like Beverly Hills. High price definitely is not an indicator of high quality. On the flip side, the very best clinic are not cheap. Deep pockets only for Konior and Hasson/Wong.

Senior Member Britanium Posted April 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 15, 2021 In the Uk I think Dr Arshad is very affordable and at the same time still a very good quality clinic. We have precious few decent options here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 15, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted April 15, 2021 Cheap is probably $1 and under a graft. That's where you start to see significant changes in quality. In my opinion, $2-3 is affordable, the sweet spot for quality and affordability. A normal person with an average income can pay a hair transplant at that cost. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member Britanium Posted April 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 15, 2021 Some amazing affordable Drs in Spain/Portugal who are around €2.50 per graft. Still very good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MachoVato Posted April 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 15, 2021 Price is a real factor, though. It's hard to ignore the appeal of a €2500 "unlimited graft, all inclusive" package. 1 HLC Ankara | 4261 Grafts | Nov 7, 2020 (Hairline) Dr. Bisanga, BHR Clinic in Brussels | 1528 Grafts | Aug 12, 2021 (Crown and Temples) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago I have seen nasty FUT scars.Which to a degree can be revised/hidden and improved upon. With such large FUE sessions taking place in more recent times whole donor areas are being over harvested/trashed.

People only see the best case scenario, some guy on Instagram smiling, but they don’t see the truth and the reality. I was so shocked when I saw that picture. The difference between paying 2-2.50 per graft at HDC and paying 3,000 all including “unlimited grafts” is night and day.

The Dr and the staff are so nice ... and the hotel and car was amazing... along with the “lifetime guarantee/warranty” how could it go wrong ?
