Bangkok · Hair
Hair transplant is performed in Bangkok by dedicated hair-restoration clinics and by hospital departments. It is a long single session rather than a series of appointments.
Price is usually driven by the number of grafts, so a like-for-like comparison between clinics means comparing graft counts and the technique used — not headline figures.

Pricing is indicative and never a quote.
A hair transplant moves follicles from the back and sides of the scalp — where hair is generally not affected by pattern loss — to thinning or bald areas at the front and crown.
It is one long session, often eight hours or more. Transplanted hair sheds within weeks and regrows over the following months, so the result is judged at nine to twelve months, not at week two.

The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.
Follicles are extracted individually with a small punch. No linear scar; the donor area is shaved.
A strip of scalp is removed and dissected into grafts. Leaves a linear scar, and can yield more grafts in one session.
Extraction and implantation using a pen-like implanter, placing grafts without pre-making incisions.
Sapphire-tipped blades for the recipient incisions, intended to allow denser packing.
Grafts kept at length so the result can be previewed on the day. Slower and more expensive.
Used where scalp donor supply is limited. Different hair characteristics from scalp hair.
These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.
The number that determines both the price and the coverage. Any figure given before an examination is provisional.
Some clinics use technicians for parts of the work. Ask specifically who does what, and what the surgeon does.
The single most visible decision. Agree it, and see it drawn, before anything starts.
Pattern loss continues. Ask how the plan accounts for what you may lose in ten years.
About 5 days
Clinics vary, and your clinician’s plan overrides anything on this page. The shape is consistent.
Photographs and a video consultation to estimate graft count and confirm suitability.
Assessment, hairline design and agreement on graft count. Confirm the final price at this point.
A long day, often eight hours or more. Most clinics do this in one session.
Usually done at the clinic a day or two later, with instructions for continuing at home.
Donor and recipient areas checked before you fly. The trip is around 5 days for this reason.
Growth is gradual and takes many months. Ask when the clinic expects to review your result.
A clinic name is not a clinician. Ask for the individual, their registration, and how often they do this procedure.
Facility fees, anaesthesia, materials, medication, follow-up appointments and take-home items are often quoted separately.
Including if the clinic reschedules, or if the in-person assessment changes the plan.
Ask for the policy in writing: who pays, within what window, and whether it covers a return trip.
A name, a channel, and an expected response time. Aftercare that ends at the airport is not aftercare.
Clinics that perform this in your city see your enquiry, without your details. Up to three take it and come back to you with real quotes. You decide who — if anyone — you talk to.
Everything worth settling before you book, before you fly, while you are in Bangkok, and once you are home — including how this goes wrong and how to avoid it. Tick it here, or take it with you.
All of this is settled on paper, before money moves.
Avoidable problems, mostly caused by booking in the wrong order.

No. It is a starting price. Graft count decides the real figure.
Only an assessment can answer that. Treat any number given before one as provisional.
Around 5 days — the procedure itself is one long day, plus the first wash and a final check.
Gradually, over many months. Ask the clinic for its own review schedule.
Ask the clinic what the donor and recipient areas look like at day three, day seven and week two, and plan your travel around the answer.
