Hair transplant is priced per graft, and the two main techniques — FUE and FUT (strip) — differ in approach and per-graft rate. This guide compares them.
Hair Transplant Cost by Technique
- FUE, per graft — Rs 36 - 45 per graft
- FUT (strip), per graft — Rs 30 - 45 per graft
- Typical session (1,000-1,500 grafts) — Rs 40,000 - 52,500
- Larger session (3,500-4,000 grafts) — Rs 1,25,000 - 1,45,000
Rates shown are as per the typical clinic ranges compiled from Indian hair-transplant sources (2025) and are subject to periodic revision. Always verify the latest approved rates on the official source.
How They Differ
FUE extracts individual follicles and leaves no linear scar, but it is more labour-intensive, so the per-graft rate is usually a little higher. FUT removes a strip of scalp and can be more economical per graft, but it leaves a linear scar. The right technique depends on your hair and goals; a specialist can advise.
