Hair Loss Treatments

There are multiple options for hair loss treatments.The most commonly used one is surgical hair transplants, and there are other options like medical hair restoration (drugs) and hair replacement systems (artificial hair attached to your head from outside).

Hair transplant surgery is the cheapest option in the long term. Other options of hair regrowth like medical hair restoration have side effects in the long run,you can check the details for those side effects in our Why not regrow hair question. Here we will only compare hair loss treatments in terms of costs. 

The main difference between the surgical hair restoration and other hair restoration options is that surgical hair restoration is permanent and natural, while results from others are temporary. For medical hair restoration, prices of hair loss medications easily accumulate over time in addition to the side effects. 

When you think about hair replacement systems,their average costs being around 1300$/year. In addition it needs regular attachment and grooming support bringing you a cost of ~60$/month, which sums up to an extra 720$ year.This means that the actual cost of this hair replacement system for you is ~2000$/year.

And there is this constant maintenance you have to work on those artificial systems. Yet once you have hair transplants (hair implants) in place it is completely natural and you will be actually wearing it for your life time. It is always best to investigate your options from all the angles possible to make informed decisions.
