The fees for a hair transplant cost in Riyadh(تكلفة زراعة الشعر في الرياض) can vary significantly depending on the clinic's structure, the surgeon's seniority, and whether the clinic specializes exclusively in hair restoration.

Here is a breakdown of the typical consultation fee structures you may encounter:

💰 Hair Transplant Consultation Fees in Riyadh

1. Free/Complimentary Consultations (Common for Transplant Clinics)¹

Many clinics that focus on hair transplant procedures use the initial consultation as the first step in booking the surgical package.²

• Offer Type: Free Consultation (often advertised as "complimentary online consultation" or "no-cost expert evaluation").³

   

• Cost Rationale: The clinic absorbs the initial assessment cost, knowing that if you book the procedure, the consultation cost is covered by the overall package price. This is common at high-volume or aggressive marketing clinics.

• What it Includes: An assessment of your hair loss pattern (Norwood scale), a discussion of your goals, and a quote for the required number of grafts and procedure type (FUE/DHI).⁴

   

2. General Dermatologist Consultation Fees

If you book an initial consultation with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who also performs hair transplants (but hair restoration is not their only focus), you may be charged a standard consultation fee.

• Typical Fee Range: SAR 150 – SAR 350+

• Cost Rationale: This fee is standard for a specialist consultation in Saudi Arabia. It covers the doctor's time for a thorough medical history, physical scalp examination, and initial diagnosis of your hair loss cause.

• Key Distinction: This fee is usually for the consultation only and does not include the price of any further procedures. Some clinics may waive this fee or credit it toward the cost if you proceed with the transplant.

3. Premium Surgeon Consultation Fees

Consultations with very senior, highly specialized consultants (e.g., those with American Board or international fellowships) in exclusive aesthetic centers may charge a higher consultation fee.

• Typical Fee Range: SAR 350 – SAR 500+

• Cost Rationale: This reflects the higher demand and seniority of the specialist, guaranteeing that your initial assessment is conducted by the most qualified surgeon.

💡 Recommendation for Finding the Best Deal

When looking for a consultation in Riyadh, it is best to prioritize the Free or Complimentary Online Consultation options offered by specialized hair transplant centers.

1. Start Online: Check the websites of reputable clinics (like those that advertise DHI or Sapphire FUE) and look for a "Book a Free Consultation" button.

2. Confirm the Coverage: When you contact the clinic, explicitly ask, "Is the initial assessment fee-free, and does it include a personalized graft quote?"

3. Use it to Compare: Use the complimentary consultations from 2-3 different reputable clinics to compare their graft recommendations, proposed techniques, and overall package pricing.
