Many people often ask why hair transplants are relatively expensive compared to using hair growth medications or even scalp serums. So, how much does a hair transplant cost? Today, I’ll take the opportunity to explain in detail about hair transplants Bangkok cost at Hairsmith Clinic. The pricing here is straightforward and won’t leave you confused.
How much does a hair transplant Bangkok cost? Pricing for 2024
At Hairsmith Clinic, the cost of a hair transplant is 75 baht per graft (2024 pricing), with a minimum of 1,000 grafts. If fewer grafts are required, the price increases to 90 baht per graft, with a minimum charge of 49,000 baht. For Non-shaven FUE (where the hair is not shaved), the cost is 140 baht per graft.
The number of grafts refers to the number of follicular units needed for transplantation. Each graft may contain 1, 2, 3, or even 4 hairs, depending on the individual’s natural hair growth. On average, most grafts contain 2 hairs. Some clinics count by individual hairs, while others count by grafts, so it’s important to clarify what is being charged for to avoid misunderstandings. You can learn more about what grafts are [here].
Example of FUE transplant pricing at Hairsmith Clinic for 2024
- 1,000–1,500 grafts: 75,000–112,500 baht
- 2,000–2,500 grafts: 150,000–187,500 baht
- 3,000–3,500 grafts: 225,000–262,500 baht
For example, if a patient needs 1,500 grafts, the total cost would be 1,500 x 75 = 112,500 baht. That’s it—no hidden costs, and nothing more to pay for the rest of the year while the hair grows. Unlike some clinics that charge 1,000–5,000 baht per month for medications, we provide everything necessary, including:
- Hair growth medications for 12 months (nobody offers more than this, trust me!)
- Follow-up visits every 3 months for one year
- Moisturizing spray post-transplant
- Unlimited use of a low-level laser therapy (LLLT) hair growth cap for one year
- Post-transplant cap
- Pillow cover
- Free post-transplant shampoo and scab removal
Additionally, we guarantee results. After one year, if there are areas where the hair hasn’t grown well or hasn’t grown at all, we will do a free touch-up without any extra charges. Some clinics may claim to offer a guarantee but later charge for surgical rooms or doctor fees. At Hairsmith Clinic, it’s all free, as it’s our responsibility, so patients can rest easy.
For those interested in Non-shaven FUE, we offer this service as well. The price is 140 baht per graft. For instance, if you need 1,500 grafts in a Non-shaven procedure, the cost would be 210,000 baht.
Why do hair transplant prices vary between clinics?
The price of a hair transplant depends on the clinic’s operating costs. Lower costs lead to lower prices, while higher costs result in higher prices. Factors influencing the cost include:
Doctor’s experience
It takes many years for a doctor and their team to gain enough experience to produce excellent results. This is why highly experienced doctors, especially those with an American Board certification, rarely offer low-cost or package deals, as the clinic wouldn’t be able to hire top-tier doctors otherwise.
Equipment used
Some clinics use cheaper equipment, while others invest in high-end devices, which can impact the effectiveness of the procedure. For example, some clinics use the Implanter Pen to minimize hair follicle damage, while others use regular forceps. Additionally, the solution used to store grafts varies, with some using saline and others opting for HypoThermosol, widely known as the best solution for graft storage, but also far more expensive.

Why doesn’t Hairsmith Clinic offer package deals?
If you’ve been following Hairsmith Clinic for a while, you’ll know that our philosophy is to use only the best, research-backed equipment. We were the first clinic in Thailand to fully implement the Implanter Pen, also known as the DHI method, and we were the only clinic in the country to invest
in the best graft preservation solution in the world. These factors, along with our highly trained medical assistants—some of whom we sent to the U.S. for specialized training—ensure that our standards are on par with international clinics.
From the beginning, our goal has been to be the best hair transplant clinic in the country, providing the best possible care to Thai patients. While we don’t offer the lowest prices, we also ensure that our costs are not so high that they are unaffordable. If you compare our clinic to others with similar standards—such as clinics with American Board-certified doctors and the same grade of equipment—you’ll find that our prices are 2–4 times lower. This is why we have patients flying in from over 40 countries worldwide, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the U.S., for hair transplants at Hairsmith Clinic.
Are cheap hair transplants worth it?
While not all clinics offer the same pricing, the general rule is that the price usually reflects the quality of the results. If you’re considering a clinic offering a transplant for 49,000 baht, check their website or social media to review their results. If you’re satisfied with the outcomes, then the price might be right for you.
However, don’t be swayed solely by the price. As I’ve mentioned in previous articles, the most important thing is the results, not just the price.
In conclusion, I recommend comparing results from several clinics and across various price ranges to find what best meets your needs. Once you’ve made your decision, you can start preparing for your transplant [here].
