Hair transplant vs. medications: Minoxidil ($$276/year) and Finasteride ($$166/year) can slow or halt hair loss but rarely regrow significant hair. Most South Carolina patients use medications to maintain results after transplant surgery. A hair transplant is a one-time investment; medications are ongoing.

How much does a hair transplant cost in South Carolina?
Hair transplant costs in South Carolina range $6,072–$17,664. FUE for 2,000 grafts averages $11,960.
What is the difference between FUT and FUE?
FUT leaves a linear scar and costs less ($3–$5/graft). FUE extracts individual follicles with no linear scar but costs more ($5–$10/graft).
How many grafts do I need?
Mild recession: 1,000–2,000 grafts. Moderate loss: 2,000–3,500. Advanced loss: 3,500–8,000+.
Is a hair transplant permanent?
Transplanted hair is generally permanent as it is DHT-resistant. Surrounding non-transplanted hair may continue thinning over time.
How long until I see results?
Hair sheds at 2–4 weeks (normal). New growth at 3–4 months. Good density by 6–9 months. Final results at 12–18 months.
