### Cost Variation by Technique
The chosen surgical technique can significantly impact the overall cost:
| Technique | Description | Estimated Price Range (SAR) |
| :--- | :--- | :---: |
| **FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)** | Generally the least expensive method. | **SAR 5,999 – SAR 15,000** |
| **FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)** | A common, widely used method. | **SAR 9,999 – SAR 30,000** |
| **DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)** | Often the most premium method due to specialized tools (e.g., Choi Pen). | **SAR 15,000 – SAR 35,000** |
### Price Per Graft (Estimate)
While many clinics offer package pricing, some older data suggests a price per graft in the range of **SAR 6 to SAR 10** for FUE in Riyadh. However, modern packages often include extra services that make calculating a simple "per graft" rate less straightforward.
### Important Considerations
1. **Package Inclusions:** Many clinics offer promotional packages that include essential services, such as:
* Blood tests
* Multiple **PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)** sessions
* Post-operative medications
* Laser hair regrowth sessions
For example, a package of **2,500–3,500 grafts** might start at **SAR 7,999 + VAT**, but confirming all inclusions is essential to avoid hidden fees.
2. **Clinic and Surgeon Experience:** A highly reputable clinic and an experienced, board-certified surgeon will almost always be at the higher end of the price ranges provided.
3. **Overall Range:** The overall market price for a hair transplant in Riyadh can range from a low of **SAR 4,999** to over **SAR 37,500** depending on the variables above.
For the most accurate and personalized quote, you should always book a consultation with the specific clinic of your choice in Riyadh.
