In Riyadh, a 3000-graft hair transplant in riyadh(تكلفة زراعة الشعر في الرياض) typically costs between SAR 12,000 and SAR 24,000 (approximately $3,200 to $6,400 USD).

While some high-end luxury clinics may charge upwards of SAR 35,000, many established centers offer competitive packages that include post-operative care and follow-up sessions.

Average Cost Breakdown by Technique

The price often varies based on the extraction method used:

 

Technique Estimated Cost (3000 Grafts) Key Feature
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) SAR 14,000 – SAR 22,000 Most common; minimal scarring.
FUT (Strip Method) SAR 12,000 – SAR 18,000 Generally cheaper; requires a linear incision.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) SAR 18,000 – SAR 28,000 High precision; often the most expensive.

Factors Influencing the Price in Riyadh

  • Clinic Reputation: Top-tier clinics in areas like Olaya or those featuring internationally-certified surgeons (ISHRS members) usually command a premium.

     

  • Package Inclusions: Many Riyadh clinics bundle the surgery with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy sessions, which can add SAR 1,000–3,000 to the value but improve results.

  • Technician vs. Surgeon-led: A procedure where the lead surgeon performs the incisions personally will cost significantly more than one where technicians do the bulk of the work.

  • VAT: Don't forget to account for the 15% Value Added Tax in Saudi Arabia, which is sometimes excluded from the initial quote.

A Quick Reality Check on "Per Graft" Pricing

While some clinics advertise a "per graft" rate (often SAR 5 to SAR 10), most in Riyadh prefer "all-inclusive" session prices for 3000 grafts. Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true (e.g., under SAR 6,000), as these may sacrifice hygiene or use less experienced staff.

Note: 3000 grafts is a substantial amount, usually enough to cover a receding hairline and a significant portion of the mid-scalp. It typically requires a full day (6–8 hours) in the clinic.
