Per-Graft Pricing Breakdown
Most Medellín clinics price hair transplants on a per-graft basis. A "graft" or "follicular unit" contains 1-4 individual hairs — the average is about 2.2 hairs per graft. So 2,500 grafts typically yields around 5,500 transplanted hairs.
| Technique | Per Graft | 2,000 Grafts | 3,000 Grafts |
|---|---|---|---|
| FUE (Standard) | $1.00 – $2.50 | $2,000 – $5,000 | $3,000 – $7,500 |
| Sapphire FUE | $1.50 – $2.75 | $3,000 – $5,500 | $4,500 – $8,250 |
| DHI | $1.50 – $3.00 | $3,000 – $6,000 | $4,500 – $9,000 |
| FUT (Strip) | $1.00 – $1.50 | $2,000 – $3,000 | $3,000 – $4,500 |
Why the Price Range?
Prices vary based on surgeon experience, clinic reputation, technique complexity, and whether you're getting procedure-only or an all-inclusive package. Premium clinics with ISHRS-certified surgeons typically charge at the higher end — but you're paying for verified expertise and quality assurance.
