Hair Transplant Costs in Cape Town

Investing in a Lifetime of Confidence

When considering a hair transplant in Cape Town, it’s natural to compare prices, but cost should never be the only factor guiding such a life-changing decision. Hair restoration is a permanent procedure, and the quality of your results depends heavily on the skill, precision, and care with which it’s performed.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a modern hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are removed from a donor area—usually the back or sides of the scalp—and implanted into thinning or balding spots. It’s minimally invasive, leaves tiny dot scars, and offers a quicker recovery with natural-looking results.

FUE costs are based on grafts (several hairs per graft) and calculated at R40 (excl. VAT) per graft. A consultation is essential in obtaining a more accurate hair transplant cost.

FUT Hair Transplant Costs In Cape Town

• 1700 to 2300 Graft FUT hair transplant costs R55 000. This should cover zone 1, 2 and 3 OR zone 4, 5 and 6.

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is a hair transplant method where a thin strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, and individual hair follicles are then separated and transplanted to balding areas. It typically leaves a linear scar but allows for the transplantation of a large number of grafts in one session. This method is often chosen for patients needing extensive coverage.

Higher graft numbers are dependent on the density of the donor area. A consultation is essential in obtaining a more accurate hair transplant cost.

Dr Ryan’s top four for fabulous follicles

1. A transplant is only one part of a hair restoration and maintenance plan. 

2. A single procedure usually gives cover, and a second gives density.

3. Although hair transplants are relatively easy to perform, they’re difficult to perform well, so choose

your surgeon carefully.

4. Most men who have had a transplant wish they’d done it sooner!
