Hair Restoration & Scalp Treatment
One surgical family, several harvesting and implantation methods
Hair transplantation moves a person’s own follicular units from a donor area to a recipient area. FUE removes units individually. FUT removes a strip from which grafts are prepared. DHI describes implantation with an implanter pen and is commonly paired with FUE harvesting. The right label matters because recovery, scarring, session length and quote basis can differ.
Start with the quote basis, not the smallest number
Medifinder does not yet have enough clean, like-for-like surgical hair transplant prices to calculate a reliable UAE range. Clinic listings remain available, but non-surgical PRP, PRGF, GFC and mesotherapy prices are excluded from the transplant comparison. Ask for a written quote based on an assessed graft count.
Medifinder does not show an aggregate range here because the published figures we hold are not yet clean, like-for-like surgical quotes. Clinic listings remain visible, but non-surgical injection prices are excluded. A useful quote states the technique, assessed graft count or graft band, included procedure stages, support treatments and whether the number is a starting price or a final total.
Per graft, package and starting price are not interchangeable
A hair transplant can be quoted per graft, as a package for a graft band, or from a starting procedure price. These figures answer different questions. A per-graft rate has no useful total until a clinician assesses donor supply and the area to restore. A package is comparable only when the graft allowance and inclusions match. A starting price is the clinic’s lowest entry point, not the expected bill. Compare the same technique and assessed scope, then ask for one written total.
| Quote type | What it means | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Per graft | A rate multiplied by the clinic-estimated follicular-unit count. | How the count was measured and the expected total. |
| Graft-band package | One price for a stated range or maximum number of grafts. | The included count and price if the assessment changes it. |
| Starting procedure price | The clinic’s lowest entry point, not a quote for an assessed case. | Technique, graft count and everything included in the final total. |
Ask for one complete written total
Confirm the consultation, donor assessment, graft estimate, blood tests, local anaesthesia, extraction and implantation, medicines, washing or aftercare kit, reviews and VAT. If PRP, GFC or another support treatment is promised, ask how many sessions are included and what later sessions cost. Ask how a larger graft requirement or a second surgical session changes the total.
- Technique and estimated graft count
- Who performs extraction and implantation
- Anaesthesia, medicines and aftercare kit
- Follow-up schedule
- PRP or other support treatment, if promised
- VAT and any second-session cost
Graft count and technique drive the scope
The planned recipient area, donor supply, hair characteristics, graft target, technique, session length, surgeon and support team all affect the quote. A hairline refinement and full hairline-plus-crown restoration are not the same product. Revision surgery, beard or eyebrow work and a second session should be identified separately.
Assessment, design, harvesting, implantation and follow-up
A consultation assesses the hair-loss pattern, scalp and donor area, then agrees a design and estimated graft count. The procedure is usually performed with local anaesthesia and can occupy much of a day. The clinic should explain washing, sleep position, activity limits, temporary shedding, review dates and when changes are expected. Recovery and growth vary, so use the treating team’s case-specific instructions.
Diagnosis and donor supply come before surgery
Not every form of hair loss is suitable for transplantation, and donor follicles are limited. A clinician should assess the diagnosis and whether loss is stable enough for a surgical plan. Discuss medicines, smoking, allergies, bleeding risk, scalp conditions and prior procedures. Ask who performs each surgical step and how the licensed facility handles urgent concerns after discharge.
Verify the facility, clinician and hands-on roles
Check the facility and clinician on the relevant UAE regulator’s register. Ask who examines you, designs the hairline, administers anaesthesia, harvests grafts, prepares them and creates recipient sites. Review a range of the clinic’s own results, ask how graft survival and complications are tracked, and compare the written total rather than a marketing range. A directory listing is not an endorsement of outcomes.
