Isn’t that irrelevant? They only used 5200 grafts on him, most people can spare 5200 grafts no problem, even if they are very bald.

Are you saying that FUE will be very expensive at your clinic? Why not offer both FUE and STRIP and let the patients decide.

Stitch,

While that would be the case (no more expensive than other top clinics) my point was that patients expect optimal growth AND naturalness, etc. etc. and they want to have the best chance for success. For each graft that does not grow from any procedure the average cost per graft rises not to mention you’ve lost a graft that you can never get back.

My point is we wish to offer the best value for the patient and that is why we continue to do what we do. Our patients want a hair transplant to get hair and understand that there is a trade-off in that they cannot shave their heads. At the same time though these patients are not interested in shaving their heads to begin with. They’re interested in styling their hair.
