Hair restoration involves rejuvenating hair growth through regenerative treatments, hair growth medications, or transplanting healthy hair follicles into thinning or balding areas. This process helps achieve a fuller, healthier, and more youthful appearance. For hair restoration and transplants in NYC, Dr. Kopelman is a trusted expert known for delivering exceptional results.
Hair transplants are medical procedures that move hair from one area of your body to another, typically to restore thinning or balding spots. This technique has become a reliable solution for individuals seeking natural-looking, permanent results to combat hair loss.
The two most common hair transplant methods are FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation):
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):
FUE involves individually extracting hair follicles from the donor hair area and transplanting them under local anesthesia.
This method is often chosen for treating hair loss. It leaves little scarring, which is great for people who like shorter hairstyles. Recovery time is quicker compared to FUT.
Â
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation):
FUT, also known as the strip method, involves removing a thin strip of scalp from the donor area and extracting follicles from it. While this method can transplant more hair in a single session, it may leave a linear scar.
Choosing between FUE and FUT depends on factors like hair loss severity, scalp condition, and personal preferences.
Hair transplant procedures take hair follicles from a donor area, usually the back of the head. These follicles are then implanted into areas that are balding or thinning. This process requires precision and expertise to ensure the transplanted hair grows naturally. Modern advancements in hair transplant technology have made these procedures minimally invasive, with faster recovery times.
The terms “hair grafting” and “hair transplants” are often used interchangeably, but they essentially refer to the same process: restoring hair by transferring follicles.
Understanding the costs of a hair transplant in NYC can help you plan your procedure and make an informed decision. With various factors influencing prices, it’s essential to know what to expect and explore all available options.
The cost of a hair transplant depends on the number of grafts required. For a procedure involving 3,000 grafts, you can expect to pay between $15,000 and $18,000 in NYC. This range varies based on factors such as:
Choosing the right hair transplant surgeon is crucial for achieving natural, lasting results. In New York City, a hub of medical excellence, there are numerous highly qualified professionals. Here’s how to find the one that best meets your needs.

NYC is home to some of the most renowned hair transplant surgeons in the country. Here are a few criteria to identify top-rated professionals:
Reputation and Recognition
Specialization in Advanced Techniques
Clinic Standards
Propecia (finasteride)Â is a prescription medicine approved by the FDA. It helps stop hair from thinning and may thicken hair that is already thin. It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, a process that contributes to hair loss. Potential side effects should be discussed during a consultation.
Rogaine (minoxidil)Â is a popular FDA-approved treatment. It is thought to help by increasing blood flow and nutrients to hair follicles. This happens through the widening of blood vessels in the scalp. Applied topically to thinning areas, it has been effective for both men and women. For those who struggle with topical applications, an off-label oral minoxidil option may be available.
Aldactone (spironolactone):Â This oral prescription medication is particularly effective for women experiencing hair loss caused by hormonal imbalances. As an anti-androgen, it reduces hair shedding and promotes fuller hair growth.
Vitamins:Â Nutritional supplements can strengthen hair, making it appear thicker, healthier, and more vibrant. Certain vitamins address underlying causes of hair loss by supplying essential nutrients.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma):Â PRP therapy uses growth factors derived from your blood to rejuvenate hair follicles and encourage healthier hair growth. It is particularly effective in the early stages of hair loss, helping to thicken and stabilize thinning hair. The plasma is prepared from your own blood and injected into the scalp for targeted results.
Dutasteride is a medication used off-label to treat androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). It works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Elevated DHT levels are a key factor in hair follicle miniaturization, leading to thinning hair and hair loss.
Mesotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves injecting a blend of vitamins, minerals, and medications into the scalp to promote hair growth and improve follicle health. It targets hair loss by stimulating blood circulation, reducing DHT, and providing nutrients directly to hair follicles. Results may vary, and multiple sessions are typically required.
We offer both medical and in-office procedures for hair restoration.
Yes, hair transplant surgery isn't limited to the scalp. At Kopelman Hair Restoration, led by Dr. Joel Kopelman and Dr. Ross Kopelman, we offer treatments for various areas to enhance your look and confidence. Our services include:
Hair restoration is usually considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. However, treatments for medical conditions like alopecia areata or trauma-related hair loss might be covered in some cases.
Some treatments, like low-level laser therapy, platelet-rich plasma, mesotherapy, and microneedling, offer temporary solutions. They need to be used regularly for lasting results. Hair transplants offer a more permanent solution, although additional treatments may be needed over time.
The price of a hair transplant mainly depends on how much hair is transplanted. It usually costs between $15,000 and $25,000. Insurance does not cover hair transplants because they consider them cosmetic surgery.
FUE Hair Transplant is the gold standard in hair restoration. It provides the most natural-looking results of all hair restoration methods with minimal side effects. With FUE, patients can wear their hair in any style without a long scar.
The cost of 5000 hair grafts varies depending on location and clinic. It typically ranges from $20,000 to $25,000 in the United States.
Yes, hair loss treatments are appropriate for both men and women. If you are noticing your hair becoming thinner, finer, or your part becoming wider and more visible, or you have balding areas, hair restoration treatments can help you look and feel younger and more attractive.
You can go out in public after a few days, but the signs of a hair transplant might still be visible for up to 10 days. By days 6 or 7, you can wear a loosely fitting baseball cap. After 10 days, the follicular grafts are securely in place, and any remaining scabs can be gently washed away.
