There is no doubt that Hair transplant is the best solution for hair loss because it is natural and permanent!

“You don’t have to live with hair loss! You have options!”

(The above paragraph is an excerpt from a Hair Restoration Clinic in Cape Town South Africa)

Hair loss can be caused by many factors, but it is now a common sense that a lack of blood flow to your scalp is not the main cause of hair loss. If this common myth were true, then every bald person would have gangrenous skin and their scalp would ROT! It is also logical that if there were not sufficient blood flow to the scalp, a bald person would not bleed if they cut their head.

Furthermore, not everyone can benefit from the hair loss medicines that are on the market.

Some people do find them useful, but most people don’t.

Some people rub Brandy on their scalps and it works, but most people don’t.

So are there any permanent solution to this common and depressing problem? Yes of course there is. Hair transplant is the way to go! But does the word “transplant” make you think this surgery is expensive? If yes, then You are wrong.

It was at one stage very expensive but the increase in demand for such a helpful surgery has made it much more affordable. And there is more! Some hair loss clinics even promise a 100% Guarantee which means they will replace any transplanted graft that does not grow! How cool is that!!!

If your hair loss problem is very serious, it will cost more of course. But don’t forget the wonderful world of finance whereby you can apply for a small loan for this type of operation; and as stated in my previous post, travelling abroad for surgery may also lower the cost but at the same time getting better service! Say Goodbye to hair loss now!

South Africa – $2000 – $2500

I also took into consideration other qualitative factors such as medical reputation and also the overall experience by looking at feedback from people who have been to one of these places for surgery. I also looked at other surgical procedures such as Hair Transplant are also cheaper in South Africa. Up to 50% savings!

I came to the conclusion that South Africa is relatively better than the other countries in terms of general and medical tourism. The underlying principle is simple: Which country gives you the best value for money? South Africa has an excellent reputation in the medical field with strict regulations and the highest standards of commitment; Surgeries are affordable especially with the favorable exchange rate (You get 10 South African Rand for every 1 US dollar!); and last but not least, the scenery in South Africa are simply breathtaking, especially in Cape Town. It is an ideal place for a person to recover because of its relaxing atmosphere and comfortable environment There you have it — an actual comparison of the costs. I hope this article can reach out to those who are interested in medical tourism.
