Hair Restoration
Hair restoration covers surgical transplantation, principally follicular unit extraction and strip harvesting, along with the medical treatment that supports the result. Pricing abroad is usually quoted per graft or per session, while U.S. clinics more often quote a total. That makes direct comparison harder than it looks, so ask how many grafts the plan assumes and whether the quote is capped. Also ask who performs the extraction and implantation — in some clinics the surgeon plans the case and technicians carry out much of the work, which is worth knowing before you decide.
