The following graphic give you an approximate indication of the number of follicle units you should typically expect with any hair restoration work.

There are approx 2.3 hairs per follicle unit.

Hair characteristics vary and the follicle number per surface area does as well. Therefore, these are broad estimates for indicative purposes only.

A personal consultation with Dr André Nel remains your best option. For an accurate costing and the exact details of what the best treatment option for you would be, book a consultation.

What you should typically expect

The cost of a hair transplant is dependent on the number of follicle units transplanted and whether the donor and recipient areas are shaved or left unshaved for the procedure. The approximate basic cost varies between € 3,500 to € 16,000 depending on the number of follicle units. We use a sliding scale where the follicle cost varies from € 8.00/follicle unit for small procedures less than 500 follicle units to € 3.75/follicle unit for large procedures exceeding 5000 follicle units. There is a 20% premium added for not shaving the recipient area and for Long Hair FUE harvesting where the Donor Area is not shaved there is a 35% premium added.
