2000 grafts for $3500? $1 per graft hair transplant pricing? Low Price Leaders...

When you start getting involved with clinics that offer you rock-bottom pricing... RUN!!!

$1 per graft pricing does not equal quality or quantity...  They are going to skimp on something...trust me.  Either they are taking 3 hair grafts and splitting them and charging you by the hair... which will cost you $3 for a 3 hair graft or they are hiring unskilled technicians.  In the world of hair transplants you want very skilled technicians.

Call me crazy but I wouldn't by hair transplants based on price, nor would I buy Lasik Eye Surgery that way either. 

It's one thing to get a cheap haircut, as bad as the haircut is, it will grow back.  It's another thing to buy a cheap hair transplant. 

Here are some photos of grafts and hairs so you understand the games that the low price leaders can play. 


Are you really paying $1 for the above



Or are you paying $3 for this...

If you have any questions...feel free to post them.

Is Bald Beautiful? To Hair Transplant or Not to Hair Transplant?

In a recent article in the NY Times titled "Making the Most of Nothing" the author discusses how he decided to handle his hair loss by shaving his head.  There are other options however.  This is how we see it...

The Problem of the Shaved Head

For many men suffering with hair loss, shaving their head is an option they didn’t necessarily have years ago.  After all, men with shaved heads were once viewed as menacing looking, rogue types that mothers wouldn’t want their daughters anywhere near.  The shaved head in the business world was either a very old man, though even they tended to keep the horseshoe of hair despite it having withered to nothing, or someone trying to make a statement, trying to stand out.  In the conservative corporate world, the shaved head might just limit career prospects.  All that has changed as baldness has become a fashion statement.  Numerous celebrities essentially made the shaved head look acceptable, cool even.  There’s just one catch:

Not all men look good with a shaved head.

Head shapes are as varied as fingerprints and some just shouldn’t be seen.  Hair serves a function beyond keeping the head warm.  It also hides some misshapen skulls.  Trust me. Those men know who they are.  They dread the idea of losing hair or shaving their heads because what lies beneath ain’t pretty.

Hair Restoration might help hide some of the things that lie beneath. Check out some of the options at Samson Hair Restoration at www.samsonhairrestoration.com.
