Terminologies: there are different types of hair surgery. First off, let's clarify the typical terminologies for hair surgery. In the US, hair surgery is typically called hair transplant or hair transplantation procedures. In Europe and other parts of the world, it may be called hair replacement surgery or even hair implants procedure. They all basically mean the same thing, ie: surgical procedure to restore one's hair loss. That being said, please note that sometimes especially in the US, hair replacement can mean non-surgical procedure such as hair systems or hairpiece, toupees etc.  So to avoid confusion, sometimes it is helpful to clarify whether it is surgical or non-surgical technique that you are referring to.

Hair Surgery Cost - cost can vary greatly. It depends on the extent of your hair loss, the number of grafts you need, which technique you choose, the doctor you choose and even the country where the procedure is performed can all affect the ultimate cost of the procedure. We will discuss further in the section devoted to this topic.

New Technology in Hair Restoration - Very soon, hair surgery may become a thing of the past. The reason is that many companies are now working on cutting edge hair restoration techniques that require no surgical procedures. Many are researching cell based therapies for hair loss, such as using our own stem cells to cultivate new hair follicles. Some of the companies working on these clinical trials are Intercytex, Aderans, and Histogen, to name a few.
