Toronto Hair Transplant Cost

Toronto Hair Transplant Cost

The cost of a hair transplant in Toronto performed by Dr. Ashlin Alexander can vary significantly, depending on the type of transplant procedure, and the extent of the treatment. Prices can range from $3,500 for a small eyebrow transplant to $14,000 for extensive facial hair transplantation. The average cost of a hair transplant to treat male pattern baldness is $9,500.

Although hair transplantation carries a higher price tag than hair loss products and other treatments available today, it may be more cost-effective in the long run. A hair transplant performed by Dr. Alexander is an option that provides dramatic, successful, long-lasting results.

Cost varies from patient to patient, depending on the number of grafts required, as well as a series of other factors. Dr. Alexander provides free hair transplant consultations to evaluate your hair transplant needs and to determine whether you are good candidate for hair restoration surgery.

We encourage you to book a consultation with Dr. Alexander to explore all of your hair restoration options.

Types of Hair Transplants Performed by Dr. Alexander

Dr. Alexander is a dual fellowship-trained, board-certified plastic surgeon who has focused his practice exclusively on procedures of the hair, face, and neck. He performs a range of hair transplant procedures with varying prices, depending on the type of hair transplant and the extent of treatment.

Strip (FUG) Hair Transplant

To perform Follicular Unit Grafting (FUG) hair transplantation, Dr. Alexander removes a single strip of donor hairs from the back of the scalp and meticulously closes the incision where the strip was removed to leave a virtually undetectable, single fine line. Individual micrografts are then transplanted along the hairline to create a natural appearance of thicker hair, with long-lasting results.

Hair grows on the head in individual follicular units, each typically containing one to four hairs. Dr. Alexander uses follicular unit micrografts of varying densities to craft natural-looking, aesthetically pleasing hair restoration. He places single-hair grafts along the hairline in an irregular pattern, and places grafts with two to four hairs farther back on the scalp to create visual density.

FUE Hair Transplant

The advantage of the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant technique is that it completely avoids a linear scar at the donor site in the back of the head. This is accomplished by harvesting hair grafts one at a time using precise punch blades 0.8 to 1mm in diameter.

Rather than leaving a linear scar, the FUE technique leaves virtually undetectable pinpoint scars dispersed throughout the back of the scalp. If you undergo this procedure, once the tiny incisions are healed, you can shave your head or wear a very short hair style without concerns about visible scarring.

Eyebrow Transplant

Bold, thick eyebrows bring drama and interest to the face. Dr. Alexander performs eyebrow transplant in Toronto to restore definition and density to thin or missing eyebrows or to camouflage scars in the area. To achieve long-lasting results that look natural, he harvests hairs from the scalp, which are delicately transplanted, one at a time, at precisely the right position and angle to create thicker brows.

An eyebrow transplant typically requires 50 to 350 grafts per eyebrow, harvested from a donor strip taken from the scalp. Transplanted scalp hair continues to grow as it did on the head and requires regular trimming.

Beard Transplant

A thick, lush beard is an asset for a man, but not everyone is genetically programmed to grow a healthy beard. Using advanced technology, Dr. Alexander can perform a custom-tailored beard transplant procedure to create a thicker, fuller beard.

Beard transplant can be performed using either the FUG strip method or the FUE hair transplant technique. It is critical to have this procedure performed by a highly-skilled surgeon with extensive experience in procedures of the hair, face, and neck.

Facial Hair Transplant

Dr. Alexander performs hair transplant procedures to restore thicker, fuller facial hair in areas where hair growth is thin or missing altogether. Factors affecting the cost of the procedure include the area being treated and the number of grafts required. Dr. Alexander performs facial hair transplantation using grafts containing one to two hairs, skillfully and artistically placing the grafts at the precise angle and direction to create the most natural appearance.

In a facial hair transplant, Dr. Alexander can treat several different areas, each of which typically requires a different number of grafts on average:

• Cheek beard (300 to 700 grafts)
• Sideburns (200 to 250 grafts each)
• Goatee (600 to 700 grafts for a full goatee)
• Moustache (300 to 500 grafts)

Dr. Alexander uses tiny incisions and microscopically dissected grafts to minimize scarring and create natural-looking results. Transplanted hairs grow and can be shaved the same as your existing facial hair.
