An increasing number of clinics in Ireland are offering the procedure as a way of compensating for the falls in the number of locals having cosmetic surgery. For some in Ireland the cost is just far too expensive. Economic troubles have seen a reduction in the number of Irish people flying to Budapest for dental work and cosmetic surgery at low prices, but the previous success in attracting local patients to Hungary sees clinics there now offering low price hair transplant procedures for foreign patients in Budapest.
Hair transplants in Ireland range from €3.95 per follicular unit extraction graft up to €10 per FUE graft in Dublin clinics. People can have the same procedure done in Budapest for as little as €1.70 per FUE graft.
Thomas Dunleavy has launched a new Irish company. Growhair.eu has partnered with Sikos Clinic in Budapest, a cosmetic surgery and hair transplant clinic run by Dr Gèza Sikos who has 22 years experience in hair transplants. Dunleavy has worked in dental tourism in Budapest and saw the need for the same service for hair transplant treatments. Thomas Dunleavy says, “With low cost airline fares on offer to Budapest and hotel prices very cheap it is a win-win for anyone wanting to have the procedure done but who simply cannot afford it in Ireland.”
Potential customers have a free online consultation in Ireland where they speak with Dr Gèza Sikos. Growhair.eu then takes care of the rest; flights, hotel and transfers. For most it is just a one-day procedure where Dr Sikos uses a technique with minimal to zero scaring, transplanting up to 2,800 FUE grafts in one day. This means it is just a two-day visit to Budapest to have treatment carried out. The agency claims that within 7 to 10 days the procedure is unnoticeable and within 9 to 12 months customers will have achieved full re growth of their hair. For an average balding person needing 2,500 FUE grafts the cost in Ireland ranges from €9,875 up to €25,000 depending on which Irish clinic they use. The same treatment in Budapest costs €5,400 with a 10% discount via Growhair reducing it to €4,860.
