Hi Bill Many thanks! I promise not to go spamming... (unless its going to grow hair back!! Err.. dont worry.. I wont be testing the theory on that! Thanks.

Hi For some reason I cant private message you.. but Im really interested to know how much they charged you for the 1500 FUE?? any chance you can PM me.. or tell us on here? Many thanks

Guys (and Gals) Ive been speaking to a UK clinic about having FUE. Before I went for a consultation I asked them: - What is the price per follicle transferred? and seperately - How much would it cost for 1000 transfered follicle's? The answer I got both times was the same... 2 pounds per follicle, but you need to see us for a consultation... so I went for a consultation! The doctor in question said I would need between 1000 to 1200 follicle's for what I wanted to do, giving me around 2500 to 3000 hairs as the end result. As I understand, multiple hairs may grow from 1 follicle (Please correct me if Im wrong with this?) So, In my head, doing the maths... that would be: 2 pounds x 1000 follicle's = 2,000 pounds 2 pounds x 1200 follicle's = 2,400 pounds for the work (assumedly with a bit of extra cost for medication etc). So I was expecting tops something about the 3,000 pound mark. So... blow me... the cost I got for the work (and no there are NO complication with the work.. Im told its very very straight forward with me).... was 6,500 pounds. Now.. that doesnt even exactly work out to 2 pounds x 3000 (hairs rather than follicle's) = 6,000 pounds and so the cost they have given me works out about 5.40p per follicle. So Im looking at, what I think is a 4,000 pounds descrepency here... yes I am going to go back and check it. However, I was wondering, from peoples expericence and price quotes, - does this sound "right" for the UK on a per follicle basis? - And/Or Does anyone know if places are charging per hair, rather than per follicle? - Anyone else any experiences of "London" prices for 1000 to 1200 follicle's where theyve had work performed in the last year? Basically.. am I nuts to go back to them and say "how does this price match up, when Ive been told about 2 pounds". Any answers or thoughts much appreciated!
