What it costs in Georgia
Georgian clinics price two ways, and the difference matters more than the headline number. Per-graft rates on published lists run about $1 for FUT, $2 for FUE and DHI, and up to $3 for long hair FUE. Fixed packages start around 2,200 euros for up to 4,000 grafts. A 2,500 graft case therefore lands anywhere between roughly 2,200 euros and $5,000 depending purely on which model the clinic uses.
Non-surgical work is priced separately and more transparently. PRP sessions publish around $100, mesotherapy around $70, tricopigmentation around $2,000 and eyebrow transplants around $1,500. Surgical aesthetics at the hospital-attached clinics costs considerably more and is almost never listed publicly.
Compare the total, not the graft rate. A clinic charging $2 a graft with three hotel nights and transfers included can come out cheaper than a $1.20 clinic once you have booked your own hotel.
How to choose
Get the surgeon's name before you pay
Ask who operates, in writing. Then check that name against the ISHRS directory. Clinics that publish surgeon names and society memberships make this a two-minute job. Clinics that talk only about "our experienced team" make it impossible, and that is information in itself.
Ask what the graft count is based on
Graft count drives price. A count agreed from photos before you fly is provisional. Ask what happens if the surgeon revises it on the day, and whether a fixed package price moves with it or absorbs it.
Check the inclusion list line by line
Nights, transfers, blood tests, the medication pack, the first wash, the follow-up. These vary between clinics that all describe themselves as all-inclusive.
Red flags
- A firm price quoted before anyone has looked at your donor area.
- No named surgeon, only a clinic name and a coordinator on WhatsApp.
- Guaranteed graft survival percentages. Nobody can promise those.
- Before and after galleries with no timeframe attached to the after photo.
- Pressure to pay in full to hold a date.
- Refusal to say who does extraction and who does implantation. Technician-led work is standard practice, but you are entitled to know.
When you do and do not need to pay for this
Hair loss is not always treated surgically, and a transplant is not appropriate for everyone. If you have not had a diagnosis yet, a dermatology or trichology consultation costs a fraction of a procedure and is the sensible first spend. Several clinics on this list, DeaMed among them, run that consultation without requiring you to book surgery afterwards.
Combining trips is where Georgia genuinely saves money. If you are already coming for dental work or a check-up, adding non-surgical aesthetics to the same visit costs nothing extra in flights.
Do not pay for a package you cannot use. If you already live in Tbilisi, the hotel-and-transfer bundle is dead weight. Ask for the procedure-only price; several clinics quote both once asked.
