The cost of a hair transplant in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, varies significantly based on the chosen technique, the number of grafts required, and the clinic's reputation.

The total cost generally ranges from SAR 7,000 to over SAR 30,000.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the costs by procedure, graft count, and the typical components of a transplant package in Riyadh.

1. Cost Breakdown by Hair Transplant Technique
The technique used is the primary factor in determining the base price of your hair transplant.

Procedure Type Typical Cost Range (SAR) Notes on Technique & Cost
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) SAR 10,000 – SAR 30,000 The most common and popular method. It is generally more expensive than FUT due to its meticulous, time-consuming nature and minimal scarring.
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) SAR 15,000 – SAR 35,000 Often the most expensive method. It uses a specialized tool (Choi implanter pen) to implant grafts immediately, which can result in higher density and precision.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) SAR 8,000 – SAR 18,000 The strip method. Generally the cheapest option, but it leaves a linear scar, making it less preferred today.

2. Cost Breakdown by Number of Grafts
The severity of your hair loss directly determines the number of grafts needed, which is a major cost driver.

Number of Grafts Degree of Hair Loss Estimated Price Range (FUE/DHI) (SAR)
1,000 – 1,500 Mild loss (hairline refinement) SAR 7,500 – SAR 12,000
2,000 – 3,000 Moderate loss (frontal/crown thinning) SAR 10,000 – SAR 24,000
3,500 – 4,500+ Extensive loss (large area coverage) SAR 15,000 – SAR 30,000+

Note on Per-Graft Cost: Some clinics quote a price per graft, which can range from SAR 5 to SAR 10+ for FUE/DHI at reputable facilities. However, most modern clinics in Riyadh offer a fixed-price package model for a high number of grafts to give the patient a final, predictable cost.
