Hair Transplant In Denmark
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in hair transplants. Therefore, it is also natural that there is a great demand for what the price is for a hair transplant.
In fact, it is about many different factors - for example, how extensive the transplant is in Denmark and where you get it done.
Thus, there is no simple answer to questions. But read below and learn more about how the various factors affect the cost of a hair transplant.
Then it may be you can better narrow down to what the expense would be in different scenarios.
Expenses associated with a hair transplant
When a hair transplant is performed, it is a procedure that typically involves parts or the entire scalp, but in other and more rare cases also beard areas or a transplant of hair to the eyebrows. It is a procedure that involves local anesthesia and must be performed by a doctor.
Because it is a procedure, there will be several different expenses associated with a hair transplant.
The cost of transplant itself in Denmark
The cost of the hair transplant itself depends on the methods used, as well as how much hair needs to be transplanted and where you choose to have it done.
But no matter what, it is typically a very expensive procedure, where you will have to part with DKK 15,000 to DKK 100,000, depending.
Subsequent care
After the procedure, the area where you have had the procedure (typically your scalp) will be very tender and sensitive. Many also experience redness and slight swelling. Therefore, it is recommended to take regular painkillers such as paracetamol in the following days.
If the procedure has been in a large area, it may also be advisable to take 2-3 days off after the procedure.
In your price for hair transplantation, you must thus include expenses for painkillers, any days off from work, as well as other forms of self-care that you may want or need while you recover.
Any travel expenses
If you choose to have your transplant performed abroad, there can be a lot of money to be saved. But it also means that you have to include your travel expenses in your total costs.
Many people today choose to have their hair transplants performed in countries such as India, Hungary, or Turkey, where the procedure in many cases costs only a third or a quarter of the price. If you are one of those who want to have your hair transplant done abroad, remember to include the cost of both flight and hotel at your destination.
Even if you choose to have your hair transplant done in Denmark, there may be fewer travel costs involved. If, for example, you are going from Jutland to Zealand or vice versa, you must include transport costs.
It can be nice to relax after the procedure, so you can also consider an overnight stay close to the clinic that performs the transplant, or with friends or family who live nearby.
FUT? FUE? Different types of hair transplants and different prices
Within the science of hair transplantation, there are several different methods and which method you choose can affect the price quite significantly.
The two most common methods today are FUT and FUE, respectively. FUT stands for Follicular unit transplantation and is a method in which small pieces of tissue are removed from the donor area, which is inserted on the recipient's scalp.
After 2017, a new method (FUE) was launched, which among many is considered better and more gentle. FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction, where each hair is moved individually.
Thus, no tissue is transplanted, and this method is more gentle because there is no risk of ulceration and scars, as is otherwise the case with FUT. On the other hand, it is more time-consuming. However, many believe that it is worth both the time and the investment, and despite its recent arrival, it is already the preferred method of hair transplants.
Because FUE is more time-consuming, it will often also be more expensive. However, the vast majority choose this solution today as there are fewer side effects and they do not have to worry about scars afterward.
Prices for a partial hair transplant
The cost of a hair transplant will always depend on how many transplants you need to have done. These are popularly called grafts.
The price is typically calculated according to how many grafts you need to have made, and many clinics run with a fixed price per graft you get done. Typically, a single graft with the FUT method will cost $3- $7, while a single graft with FUE will often cost near $7-9 per graft.
However, there can be a very big difference in the price depending on where you choose to have your hair transplant done. For example, a single graft in India can be made in many places for less than a dollar per piece, while in several places in Eastern Europe it costs between one and two dollars per piece.
Prices for a partial hair transplant
The cost of a hair transplant will always depend on how many transplants you need to have done. These are popularly called grafts.
The price is typically calculated according to how many grafts you need to have made, and many clinics run with a fixed price per graft you get done. Typically, a single graft with the FUT method will cost $3- $7, while a single graft with FUE will often cost near $ 7-9 per graft.
It is, therefore, easier to talk about how many grafts you should have made than to give a fixed price. That way, you can get a pretty good idea of the difference between a small transplant and one that is more extensive.
For example, if you have high temples but otherwise do not suffer from hair loss, you can expect to need between 800 and 1400 grafts. The same is true if you have a bald spot or incipient bald spot on top of your head, but otherwise hair growth around here.
If you have a beginning moon on top of your head, you can expect to have between 1800 and 2400 grafts. The same applies if you have slightly greater incipient baldness on the top of the head, but otherwise have hair growth all around, or if you have, for example, very pronounced high temples.
If your hair loss is widespread on the top of the head, leaving only hair on the sides and neck, you can expect to have between 2500 and 3600 grafts.
However, many clinics today have chosen to make package deals where you pay one fixed price for up to the maximum number of grafts you need. It can be nice for many to choose this solution if they are not quite sure of approx. how many transplants do they actually need.
However, it is always recommended to visit a doctor with knowledge of hair transplants for an assessment of the extent of the problem before embarking on the project. It can also help give you an idea of how big your total cost of the procedure will be.
At the same time, based on the information you receive for such a meeting, you can decide whether you want to pay per graft or are more interested in a package deal.
Prices for an entire hair transplant
If you must have had an entire hair transplant, it is again beneficial to think in grafts when you need to form an impression of what the price will be. This is true at least if you want to take advantage of a clinic that has a fixed price per graft that they offer.
A full hair transplant typically involves close to 4500 to 5000 grafts. This is a major operation, where up to 5000 hairs are transplanted individually. It is especially because of the temporal aspects that a full hair transplant is expensive.
It may sound very violent if you are trying to convert the price of a single graft into the need for an entire hair transplant. But keep in mind that a hair transplant with the FUT method can quickly take between 5 to 7 hours, while an FUE can require several sessions and thus significantly more hours.
An entire hair transplant thus takes up a doctor a whole day - and in some cases, there will also be an assistant or two involved in the procedure. The time they spend on the transplant can be translated into the price they take per graft, which in turn must be translated into an hourly wage, which is not entirely abnormal for a doctor.
And after all, most people prefer skilled doctors to perform these rather personal types of procedures.
If you choose to have your hair transplant done at a clinic that has a fixed price per graft, there can sometimes be money to be saved when you need to have a full transplant done (for example, of the entire ice).
Many places also offer a form of volume discount, where each graft up to, for example, 1000-1500 has a fixed price, and then all grafts after 1500 become cheaper per piece.
Prices for hair transplantation in Denmark
There is a lot of money to be saved if you choose to have your hair transplant done outside Denmark. However, many still choose to have their hair transplant done in Denmark for several reasons.
Among the primary causes are:
It is closer to home:
You can thereby recover in your own bed afterward. Many people like to be able to come home immediately after having an operation. The home is a safe and comfortable base for many of us.
We may not have the desire or opportunity to travel at the desired time:
There can be many reasons why we do not have the opportunity or desire to travel away to have an operation. Some may not be able to get time off at the given time, are not physically able to travel, or do not like to have procedures like these done abroad.
We have general confidence in the Danish healthcare system:
Danes generally have great trust and confidence in Danish doctors and nurses. Overall, we feel that we get good treatment in the health system, and that is enough for many to choose to have their hair transplant done in Denmark.
We prefer that an intervention like this takes place in our mother tongue:
When we have an operation - whether it is big or small - it can be nice to understand everything that is going on. Many Danes are not as comfortable in English as they are in Danish, and therefore it can be attractive to have the operation performed by a doctor who can explain everything in Danish.
If you choose to have your hair transplant done in Denmark, the prices may still vary depending on which clinic you choose. However, a hair transplant will in many cases cost at least DKK 20,000 in Denmark, and this is a starting price, which may involve 300 micro-plugs (between 1 and 4 hairs per micro-plug).
If you need to get up and have made close to 800 micro-plugs, the price can be somewhat higher - typically between DKK 50,000 and DKK 60,000.
If you have decided to have your hair transplant done in Denmark, it may therefore be a good idea to obtain prices from several different clinics before you make your final decision on where the procedure should take place.
