Clinic quotes
How is hair transplant cost calculated in Kolkata?
Clinics commonly estimate a graft count, then quote a per-graft rate or a procedure package. A transparent quote should state the technique, estimated grafts, who performs the surgery, tests, medicines, taxes and aftercare. Dated published Kolkata clinic prices and links remain TODO until verified.
| Clinic cost input | What to request |
|---|---|
| Graft estimate | Number and clinical reason |
| Rate or package | ₹ per graft or total ₹, with taxes |
| Procedure team | Named doctor and who performs extraction/implantation |
| Included care | Tests, medicines, washes and follow-ups |
| Source record | TODO: dated public clinic URL |
Five years
How should you compare total cost over 60 months?
Use an itemised worksheet, not one headline number. A patch total includes systems, 3–4-week service planning and repairs. A transplant total includes the operation, tests, medicines, travel, recovery and any later treatment or procedure. Unknown inputs must stay blank rather than become invented estimates.
| Cost over 5 years | Hair patch | Hair transplant |
|---|---|---|
| Initial | From ₹6,000 fitted | TODO: dated written clinic quotes |
| Routine | Service from ₹1,000; actual interval applies | Follow-ups and any advised medicines |
| Replacement / further work | TODO: verified studio lifespan record | Possible later procedure depends on progression |
| Reliable total | Personal system and service record required | Personal medical quote required |
Recovery and risk
How do recovery and risks compare?
A patch fitting is non-surgical but can involve irritation, traction, residue or maintenance problems. A transplant is surgery, with healing, temporary appearance changes and procedure-specific complications that a doctor must explain. Growth is gradual over months and density is limited by donor supply and future loss.
Verdict
When is a transplant the better choice?
A transplant may be better for a medically suitable person with adequate stable donor hair who accepts surgery, recovery, gradual growth and the possibility of ongoing treatment. A patch may suit someone prioritising immediate, reversible coverage or lacking donor capacity. Diagnosis and surgical advice belong to qualified clinicians.
Common questions
What else should you know?
These answers cover practical starting points in 40–60 words. A stylist can explain fitting and care; a dermatologist should assess symptoms, allergies, scalp disease or unexplained hair loss.
How often does a bonded hair patch need servicing?+
Most bonded systems are checked, cleaned and reattached every 3–4 weeks. The interval can shorten with heavy sweating, oily skin, frequent helmet use or Kolkata’s humid monsoon weather. Your stylist should set the first interval after seeing how your scalp and chosen attachment behave.
Can a hair patch be removed again?+
Yes. A bonded system is reversible and is removed during servicing with products suited to the adhesive and base. A clip-on system can usually be removed daily. Pulling or using household solvents can damage the base, natural hair or scalp, so ask for a removal demonstration.
How do clinics calculate transplant cost?+
Many clinics multiply an estimated graft count by a rate or offer procedure packages. Technique, surgeon, team, facility, tests, medicines, aftercare and whether taxes are included can change the total. Ask for a written itemised quote and the clinician’s reasoning, not only a per-graft headline.
Which option costs less over 5 years?+
It depends on the transplant quote and whether further procedures or treatment are advised, versus the patch base, replacement frequency and service schedule. This page leaves clinic figures as TODO until dated public sources are linked, rather than presenting an invented total as a Kolkata market fact.
