Hair transplant vs trichopigmentation: cost and what each does
A hair transplant starts at $2,200; trichopigmentation is listed at $1,700. The transplant moves your own hair and the result grows in over months, while trichopigmentation creates the look of density, and what it includes is explained at the consultation.

Two hair services, two prices
Search results often mix a hair replacement operation and trichopigmentation into one topic, but they are different services with different prices and different expectations. At our medical centre a hair transplant (FUE) starts at $2,200 (€2,000), and trichopigmentation is listed at $1,700 (€1,550). Both amounts sit in one table so you can see the gap before any conversation. The dollar figures are the base prices and are the same for every patient; the euro column is an approximate conversion at the European Central Bank reference rate of 2 October 2026, rounded up.
What a hair transplant does for that price
The transplant is an operation. FUE takes your own grafts from the donor area at the back of the head and places them into the thinning zone without incisions or stitches on the donor side, and the service page lists the method for androgenetic alopecia. It runs under local anaesthesia, you spend one day at the clinic and then go home. The result is real growing hair, which is why it follows a growth calendar rather than appearing at once: the area heals in 0-10 days, transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks as a normal stage, growth begins at 3-4 months, density shows at 6-9 months and the final result lands at 12-18 months.
What trichopigmentation is listed as
Trichopigmentation appears among the other hair services at the centre, with its price of $1,700 on the same list. Our service page does not describe the technique in detail, and we will not dress it up here beyond what the page says: it is a separate service line, not a method of moving hair. What exactly is included, how a session is structured and what result you can expect are explained by the coordinator and the doctor at the consultation, which is the right place for those questions anyway.
Where the two paths genuinely differ
The table shows the money, and the process shows the rest. The transplant is surgery with an operation day, local anaesthesia and a growth timeline measured in months, and the surgeon decides the number of grafts and the method for your case. Trichopigmentation sits outside that track: it is booked as a hair service, and the doctor explains its scope at the consultation. Anyone comparing the two prices should therefore compare two different kinds of work, not two quotes for the same job, and the consultation is where the doctor helps place your situation on one track or the other.
How the choice is made
Neither the table nor this page picks for you. You send photos of the area, and at the free consultation the doctor explains what each service would mean for your case: the transplant side, with graft count and method decided by the surgeon, and the trichopigmentation side, with its contents described by the coordinator and the doctor. If a case does not need an operation, the consultation is where that becomes clear, and nothing is booked until you have heard both explanations and the confirmed figures.
Getting a price and arranging the visit
Both services start the same way: a message to a coordinator in Telegram or WhatsApp, both available around the clock, and a free initial consultation where the exact price is given and fixed in the contract with no hidden extra charges. Whichever line of the table you end up on, the figure you sign for is the figure you pay. The hair transplant page covers the operation in detail, and the price page shows how the amounts are built up.
