Bosley is a company specializing in hair restoration treatments.
Bosley has clinics across the U.S. offering two different types of hair transplants: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), and we’ll cover the differences between the two. They also offer a type of hair transplant procedure called BioGraft, which is an FUE procedure paired with a non-surgical hair enhancement process called Xstrands, that weaves fibers into your existing hair for added density.
While Bosley is best known for its hair transplants, the company also offers scalp micropigmentation (cosmetic tattooing on the scalp that creates the illusion of short hair) and a line of hair care treatments.

The cost of a hair transplant is a deterrent for many people. Research from 2021 shows that the average cost of a hair transplant in United States is $13,610, a price that has likely risen in the years since.
According to Bosley’s website, the majority of their procedures cost between $6,000 and $12,000. The cost of a Bosley hair transplant procedure includes the transplant, as well as anesthesia, any necessary pain medication, postoperative hair, and scalp care products.
This is a very wide potential price range, and depends on a number of factors, which we’ll cover next.
Several factors affect the cost of hair transplants, generally, and more specifically, Bosley hair restoration treatments. We’ll outline those below.
Clinic | Cost | Treatments |
---|---|---|
Bosley | $6,000-12,000 | FUE, FUT, FUE with Xstrands |
Ziering Medical | Not disclosed on website | Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) and Microscopically Dissected Elliptical Excision (MDEE) (similar to FUT) |
Advanced Hair Restoration | $10,000-15,000 (general estimate) | FUE, FUT, and more |
Hair Club | Not disclosed on website | FUE, FUT, Xstrands, and more |
Turkish Hair Transplant | Average cost of $2,676 | FUE, FUT, and more |
A hair graft is a small piece of scalp tissue containing hair follicles, which is taken from a donor site (where hair grows normally) to a thinning or balding area. The cost of Bosley hair transplants is calculated per graft (this is common), so the extent of your hair loss (and, therefore, the number of grafts) dictates the overall cost.
The more extensive the hair loss, the more grafts are needed. However, the price-per-graft also tends to drop the more you need. For example, a hair transplant of 1,200 grafts should not be double the cost of one with 600.
Bosley does not advertise a public cost-per-graft but instead encourages potential patients to set up a free consultation to assess their specific situation.
There are two leading types of hair transplant procedures: FUT and FUE.
FUT is a slightly older method where a strip of skin is removed from the donor area, usually along the back of the head. The skin is placed under a microscope, where the surgeon divides the strip into tiny pieces, usually containing one to four hair follicles.
In the FUE method, a surgeon extracts singular hair follicles (also called follicular units) from the donor area. The follicles are put into groups of about one to four hairs and are then implanted into areas where there is thinning along the crown or hairline. The scars are very small and are often undetectable.
Some research suggests that hair follicles transplanted using the FUT method may have a higher survival rate than those transplanted using the FUE method; however, FUT leaves behind a more noticeable linear scar.
An FUE hair transplant tends to be more time-consuming than FUT and is, therefore, more expensive.
The price of a Bosley hair transplant will vary depending on the location you visit. This is because of regional factors such as the cost of rent and Bosley physician salaries.
