The question “how much does a hair transplant cost?” has two answers: one for someone with a receding hairline and another for someone who wants to restore hair across a large area of the head. The price depends primarily on the number of grafts, followed by the method and clinic. We compare prices from public price lists of Polish clinics and explain what else to include in your budget.
How much does a hair transplant for a receding hairline cost?
A hair transplant for a receding hairline most often costs PLN 14,000 in Poland, while half of the offers fall within the PLN 12,900 ‑ 16,000 range, according to 5 clinic price lists and articles collected by indekscen.pl. Treating a receding hairline is a smaller procedure, usually involving around 1000 to 2000 grafts, so it falls within the basic price range rather than the price for a whole-head transplant.
The cheapest offers in price lists start at PLN 8,000. Such prices usually apply to a small treatment area or are starting prices that the clinic increases after calculating the number of grafts. Details and quotations from price lists are available on the hair transplant page.
How much does a whole-head hair transplant cost?
A hair transplant covering a large area of the head, involving more than around 2600 grafts, typically costs PLN 31,400, which is considerably more than a procedure for a receding hairline. For this treatment area, clinics often recommend DHI or splitting the procedure into two sessions. Here is the comparison:
| Treatment area | Approximate number of grafts | Price at Polish clinics |
|---|---|---|
| Receding hairline, frontal hairline | around 1000 to 2000 | PLN 12,900 ‑ 16,000 |
| Typical procedure, median | up to around 2600 | PLN 14,000 |
| Large area, usually DHI | more than around 2600 | PLN 31,400 |
| Cheapest offers, “from” prices | small area | from PLN 8,000 |
| Hair transplant: option | Median | Typically | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic service | PLN 14,000 | PLN 12,900 ‑ 16,000 | 5 |
| Large graft hair transplant / DHI method (more than around 2600 grafts) | PLN 31,400 | PLN 29,500 ‑ 33,200 | 2 |
Median and typical range from public price lists, as at 5 October 2026. Each price includes a source and quotation on the service page.
The graft numbers in the table are a guide, not a quotation. A doctor assesses during the consultation how many grafts are needed and how many can safely be harvested from the back of the head.
How much does a 3000-graft hair transplant cost?
A 3000-graft transplant falls into the category of large procedures, which typically cost PLN 31,400. The sources do not give a separate price for exactly 3000 grafts, but clinics charging a fixed price for the procedure usually move to a higher price bracket at this number. A 2000-graft transplant is more likely to fall within the basic PLN 12,900 ‑ 16,000 range.
Some clinics quote a price per graft rather than per procedure. In this case, ask for a total quotation including the consultation, anaesthesia, medication and follow-up appointments so that you can compare it with the median of PLN 14,000.
FUE, FUT or DHI: what determines the price of a hair transplant?
The price of a hair transplant depends on three factors listed in clinic price lists:
- Number of grafts. This is the main factor: each graft must be harvested, sorted and implanted.
- Method. FUE (harvesting individual follicular units) and DHI (implantation with a special implanter without first making recipient channels) are more expensive than FUT, which involves harvesting a strip of skin. DHI is most commonly chosen for large procedures.
- Clinic reputation and location. Clinics in large cities and those with well-known doctors charge more.
A transplant without shaving the head may cost more because the procedure takes longer. We do not yet have local medians for Warsaw and other cities, so compare offers with the national median.
How much does a hair transplant cost in Turkey compared with Poland?
We do not include prices from Turkish clinics in the index because they are usually quoted in euros as packages including a hotel, transfers and an interpreter. The Polish median of PLN 14,000 provides a point of reference: when calculating the cost of travelling abroad, you need to add flights, several nights’ accommodation and follow-up appointments, which are usually included in the procedure price in Poland. Before travelling, ask who will actually perform the procedure, a doctor or a technician, how many grafts the package covers and what aftercare is available once you return home.
How much does a hair transplant for women cost?
A hair transplant for women costs the same as for men when the same number of grafts is used, usually PLN 12,900 ‑ 16,000. The difference lies in determining suitability: hair thinning in women is more often diffuse across the whole head, and its causes may be hormonal or related to deficiencies. Doctors therefore recommend diagnostic tests before a transplant. The median price of an appointment with a trichologist is PLN 275, while an appointment with a dermatologist costs PLN 270. Read more about diagnostic costs in the article trichologist: price list.
What is included in the price of a hair transplant, and what costs extra?
The price of a hair transplant at a Polish clinic, most often PLN 14,000, usually covers the procedure itself with local anaesthesia, the harvesting and implantation of grafts, and the first dressings. Before signing an agreement, ask what else is included because clinics charge for extras differently:
- Consultation and pre-procedure tests. Some clinics include them in the price, while others charge separately. An independent assessment by a trichologist costs around PLN 275.
- Medication and haircare products after the procedure. Shampoos, sprays and painkillers may be included in the package or charged separately.
- First hair wash and follow-up appointments. Ideally, these should be included in the procedure price.
- Complementary therapies. Clinics sometimes offer treatments after a transplant, such as scalp mesotherapy for around PLN 560 per appointment.
How do you choose a clinic and avoid overpaying for a hair transplant?
- Compare prices for the same number of grafts. An offer starting at PLN 8,000 and a quotation of PLN 20,000 may cover completely different treatment areas.
- Ask who performs the procedure. It is important to know whether a doctor determines suitability and supervises the procedure, and how much of it is performed by technicians.
- Ask for photos of results from patients with a similar type of hair loss, taken after a year rather than after a few weeks.
- Check the instalment and deposit terms. For amounts around PLN 31,400, clinics often offer finance.
How long does a hair transplant take, and when are the results visible?
A hair transplant usually takes from several hours to a full day, depending on the number of grafts. For very large procedures, clinics split the treatment into two sessions. Swelling and scabbing occur during the first few days, after which the transplanted hairs fall out and new hair begins to grow after a few months. The full results are usually visible after a year.
What can you choose instead of a hair transplant?
A transplant is not the only option, and for early-stage thinning a doctor may first recommend conservative treatment. Here is a cost comparison:
| Service | Median | Typically | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hair transplant | PLN 14,000 | PLN 12,900 ‑ 16,000 | 5 |
| Needle mesotherapy | PLN 600 | PLN 535 ‑ 725 | 3 |
| Trichologist appointment | PLN 275 | PLN 225 ‑ 275 | 3 |
| Private dermatologist appointment | PLN 270 | PLN 260 ‑ 285 | 3 |
Median and typical range from public price lists, as at 5 October 2026. Each price includes a source and quotation on the service page.
Scalp mesotherapy costs around PLN 560 per treatment and is usually performed as a course of several appointments. It cannot replace a transplant where hair follicles are no longer present, but it is sometimes used to strengthen the remaining hair.

Frequently asked questions
Is 5000 grafts a lot?
Tak, 5000 graftów to bardzo duży zabieg, zwykle na rozległe łysienie i często rozłożony na dwie sesje. Już przeszczepy powyżej około 2600 graftów kosztują typowo PLN 31,400, a to, ile graftów da się pobrać, zależy od okolicy dawczej i ocenia to lekarz.
How long does a hair transplant last?
Przeszczepione mieszki pochodzą z tyłu głowy, który jest mniej wrażliwy na łysienie androgenowe, dlatego efekt jest zwykle trwały. Rodzime włosy wokół mogą jednak dalej wypadać, więc część pacjentów po latach wraca na kolejny zabieg, co warto uwzględnić w budżecie obok PLN 14,000 za pierwszy.
What are the disadvantages of a hair transplant?
Przeszczep włosów to zabieg chirurgiczny: po nim jest obrzęk, strupki, okres wypadania przeszczepionych włosów i kilka miesięcy czekania na efekt. Do tego koszt, typowo PLN 12,900 ‑ 16,000, i ryzyko, że rodzime włosy dalej będą się przerzedzać. O przeciwwskazaniach decyduje lekarz.
