Our Fixed Price Policy

Estimating the cost is a complicated factor, and cannot be done just by a phone call or email. The cost depends mainly on the number of grafts required to achieve the expected result. We are the first center in Hong Kong to advocate a Fixed Price Policy.

•   Final cost determined only after doctor assessment
•   FUT & FUE are different so charges are also different: 
      FUT – Charge Per Graft
      FUE – Charge Per Hair
•   Per Job Fixed Price, no more to pay
•   Free Post-op visits up to 12 months
•   12 months interest free installment

After consultation the doctor will advise you the minimal number of grafts required for your procedure. We calculate your surgical fee according to this number of grafts. This is all you have to pay for!

What Happens to Extra grafts?
  • No graft will be wasted – All extra graft will be planted for free.
What Happen with Less Grafts?
  • If we cannot get the promised number, the difference will be refunded.

    Example :

  • You pay for 1,000 grafts. If we get 1,100 grafts, you have the extra 100 for free.
  • If we only get 900 :  1,000 – 900 = 100 grafts, so we refund the cost for 100 grafts
  • All oral or topical medication required for local anesthesia and procedure
  • Surgical fee
  • Anti-swelling headband
  • Specially-made baseball cap to protect grafts
  • Shampoo safe for immediate use
  • Vitamin and dutasteride for selected cases
  • Transplanted area crust-removing spray
  • Wound care and postop visit free-of-charge up to 12 Months
  • All medication and consumable required for proper aftercare

Because There’s No Such Thing as a Free Lunch — Especially in Medical care

In healthcare, quality advice comes from years of training, experience, and responsibility. When you sit down with a qualified doctor for a consultation, you’re not just getting casual advice—you’re receiving a professional medical opinion tailored to your unique needs, based on clinical judgment and ethical standards.

Offering free consultations may sound appealing, but it often leads to rushed assessments, biased advice, or a sales-driven approach. At our clinic, we believe in doing things differently.

Why We Charge:
  • Your time is valuable — and so is ours. A thorough consultation requires time, focus, and medical expertise.

  • You receive unbiased, honest guidance. We’re not here to sell you a procedure, but to help you decide what’s truly right.

  • It ensures professional standards. A paid consultation reflects a doctor’s role, not a salesperson’s.

In short, there is no free lunch, especially when your health and appearance are on the line. A small consultation fee is a wise investment for making an informed, pressure-free decision.

How We Estimate Hair Transplant Cost

Estimating the cost is a complicated factor, and cannot be done just by a phone call or email. The cost depends mainly on the number of grafts required to achieve the expected result. 4 factors must be considered:

1.    AREA of bald area to be transplanted

2.    DENSITY of graft desired per sq.cm

3.    Amount of available DONOR HAIR 

4.    Patients’ EXPECTATION

During the consultation the patient and doctor need to first agree on where to transplant. Obviously the patient may want to fill up every empty spots. However the following factors must be considered:

  • Extent of current hair loss
  • Potential and extent of future loss
  • Is patient taking medication to prevent further loss
  • Budget of the patient

Priority

The purpose of hair transplant is to create a visual illusion of not being bald. When there is not enough donor hair or the budget limited, the patiens must decide which area should be transplanted first, the hairline or the crown.

Key Area Transplant

During consultation our doctor may suggest transplanting certain areas to receive the maximum coverage and best visual improvement.

The Basic – Appearance of Fullness

A full head of hair appearance is Maintained until approximately 50% of the original hair volume is lost. Thinning is apparent when light is reflected from the scalp, creating a “see-through”. There is a critical density below which no visual impact will be perceived. Those with a limited budget or donor hair should make a compromise on area but not density.

Recommended Follicular Unit Density

Different density will be requires to achieve expected result in different ethnic groups.

 
Caucasian
Africans
Asians
Normal 200 Hair / sq.cm 160 Hair / sq.cm 170 Hair ⁄ sq.cm
Minimal 80 Hair / sq.cm 63 Hair / sq.cm 66 Hair / sq.cm
Average 90 Hair / sq.cm 93 Hair / sq.cm 85 Hair / sq.cm
Dense Packing 110 Hair / sq.cm 120 Hair / sq.cm 104 Hair / sq.cm

The following factors of donor hair must be considered when planning number of grafts:

  • Diameter of hair shaft
  • Color contrast between hair and scalp
  • Straight hair, wavy hair, or curly hair
  • Laxity at the Donor Area
  • Previous hair transplant, especially FUE
  • Density and Quality of donor hair
  • Size of Safe Donor Area, and amount of available donor hair for the life-time

During consultation, the doctor will determine the final cost according to:

  • Your expectation – average vs. high density
  • Level of the re-designed hairline
  • Hairline Restore vs. Add-on Density
  • The Recipient Area – shaved or not shaved

Why Pay For Grafts That Won’t Last?

Donor supply is the ultimate limiting factor in hair transplantation for male pattern baldness (MPB) patients.

Even in late stage of balding there is still have a rim of hairs at the sides and back of the head. This is labelled as the “Safe Donor Area” that is expected to be permanently covered with hair for a lifetime. Grafts must be harvested here in order to provide permanent coverage when transplanted to the recipient area.

  • The boundaries generally extend from in front of the ears, around the temples, and to the back of the head.
  • Exact mapping of this permanent donor area is still not possible.
  • A rule of thumb is to forecast the maximum extent of alopecia progression). This may help to limit and confine the donor area.
  • In young patients hair loss is progressive and unpredictable.
  • Hair at the temples may recede back toward the ear, while balding area of the crown may dip quite low into the back of the head.
  • A more conservative approach should therefore be adopted in defining the Safe Donor Zone.
  • The most crucial of the safe donor area is the superior border. It was estimated to be about 5.5 to 6 cm from crown whorl (1).
  • Hairs above this border are not recommended for transplant.

Quantity over Quality

In pursuit of low prices, many black market clinics operate like high-speed factories — performing multiple FUE procedures a day using unsupervised technicians, often without proper medical oversight. To maximize profits, they focus on quantity over quality, cutting corners where it matters most: your donor area.

Unlike FUT, which harvests from a narrow, genetically permanent zone, FUE (including ARTAS robotic) requires a much larger donor surface to extract the same number of grafts. Ethical surgeons limit extraction to the Safe Donor Zone — the area most likely to retain hair for life.

Donor Depletion

Unfortunately, to achieve a high graft count quickly and cheaply, some centers extract far beyond this zone, harvesting fragile follicles that are not genetically stable. These hairs are destined to thin or fall out over time, leading to disappointing results and irreversible donor depletion.

This reckless approach violates the true purpose of hair transplant surgery — to provide long-lasting, natural, and medically sound results. Worse still, once the permanent donor follicles are wasted, they cannot be replaced. Even the best surgeon cannot undo this damage.

Before committing to a cheaper offer, ask:
  1. “Do they guarantee extraction only within the Safe Donor Zone?”
  2. “Will a doctor personally oversee your surgery — or just technicians?”

 

At our clinic, we treat every graft as precious and every patient as unique. That’s the real difference.

Take as an example – to achieve the same result in hairline restore using FUE for a AGA Class III patient.

Center A proposes to transplant 2,800 hairs for repair. The average charge is HKD 15 per hair. With an expected graft survival rate of 90% ( 2,520 hairs will finally grow ), the actual cost of transplanting each surviving hair in Center A is therefore 2800 x 15 / 2520 = HKD 16.6

Center B  charges HKD 10 per hair but graft survival rate is only 60% . To achieve the same final effect as 2,520 hairs, 4,200 hairs ( 2,520 / 60% ) must be extracted. The total cost is:  42,00 x 10 = HKD 42,000 or HKD 16.6 per hair

As a result, the actual cost of Center A and Center B is the same, but Center B waste you an additional 1,400 precious hair follicles for nothing. Is it worth it?

Many clients asked about hair follicle cloning. Unfortunately there has been no progress in the past ten years.

Even if cloning is available in the future, it won’t be cheap. So why not put more thought into how to properly utilize your limited number of permanent hair follicles and avoid waste.

This is our mission! Most of the fees we charge are spent on training, scientific research, developing new techniques, buying the latest instrument, and maintaining the largest team in hong Kong.

Yes, we are not the cheapest, but we are no doubt the Best Value for Money.

Is Dr. Bertram’s hair transplant  expensive?

Not when you consider the true value behind the price.

Instead, we offer exceptional medical care, natural results, and the peace of mind that comes with being treated by a world-class doctor — all within a fully accredited medical facility in Hong Kong.

Hair transplant is a one-time investment with lifelong benefits.
Unlike wigs, salon treatments, or temporary solutions, transplanted hair is permanent, requires no ongoing maintenance, and grows just like your natural hair. Over time, it’s more economical — saving you both money and effort.

While some clinics in China charge based on the surgeon’s ranking, our pricing remains transparent and fair.

  • Dr. Bertram completed full-time ISHRS Fellowship training and has performed all surgeries personally for over 19 years — not delegated to junior staff

  • Based on Chinese medical standards, his qualifications are equivalent to Professor Level

  • In 2024, only three doctors in Greater China received the AAHRS-CAHRS Gold Follicle Award — and Dr. Bertram is proud to be one of them

When comparing true expertise and outcome, our pricing offers unmatched value in Hong Kong and beyond.

  • In order to provide “cheap” hair transplant in order to attract clients, many centers set their cost-per-graft very low.
  • To make up for for this, more grafts would be taken in making a profit.
  • An excessive number of hair follicles will be extracted at the shortest time, in order to do many cases  a day like a hair transplant factory.
  • As a result, it leads to a very serious problem: Donor Depletion with a significant reduction in the number of permanent hair follicles in the Safe Donor Zone for future use.
  • At the back of head hair becomes very sparse and covered with unsightly white spots.

Hair or Watch — What Truly Reflects You?

The cost of a mid-priced luxury watch can get you top quality hair transplant service.

One is mechanical, the other is living.

A luxury watch may impress others. But natural hair changes how you feel about yourself.

Watches symbolize status. Hair reflects identity.
A watch sits on your wrist. Your hair is part of your face, your smile, your everyday self.
You wear it in every photo, every meeting, every mirror glance — it’s you, not just something you put on.

A high-end watch can cost more than a hair transplant.
Yet hair gives you what no object can:

  • Confidence when speaking in public

  • Authenticity in casual moments

  • Youthfulness that no accessory can imitate

The Final Question – Hair or Watch?

One reflects what you own. The other reflects who you are.

Hair grows with you, never needing winding

  • You wear it in the gym, pool, and on stage — no effort, no hiding

  • It doesn’t go out of style or need replacing

  • And most of all — it’s truly yours

Doctor’s Comment

In order to provide “cheap” hair transplant to attract clients, many centers set their cost-per-graft very low. To make up for for this, more than necessary number of grafts might be taken to make a profit.
