There are also few who quote for “per graft” charges with some minimum quantity of grafts. The health care system both in the government and private sector is not in good shape in Albania due to deterioration of the economy after break up of Soviet Union. The hospitals, clinics, medical centers, all over the country, lack modern health facilities to some extent. And hair restoration setups are no different.

It involved charges of treatment, three nights stay at 3* / 4* hotel, transport, meals, interpreter, post operation kit & consultation, guided city sightseeing.

The cost of hair transplant in Albania is increased by USD 300 to 400 if anti-baldness treatment is supplemented with PRP (Platelets Rich Plasma) mechanism to energize the grafted follicle for healthy growth. It has been found through studies that human epidermis contains a niche of stem cells in the hair follicles. These are capable of producing hair progenitor cells that migrate to the hair matrix permitting the multiple cell types to strengthen the growth of hair. From these studies it has further been deduced that a number of baldness cases are due to the quiescent state of stem cells of follicles. This state successively minimizes the hair growth to a total stop, resulting in the appearance of substantial baldness overhead. So inbuilt phenomena are required to stimulate stem cells under the skin of the head for healthy hair growth.
The PRP technology has been developed after years of R & D that proved that platelets play a protagonist role in regenerative processes. That is why, PRP technique is now being used in a wide range of general medical and aesthetic areas of chronic surgery. In hair restoration, Plasma is injected into the skin prior to surgical procedure to fortify the regenerative process of hair. The mechanism has no threat of immune reaction or contraindications or rejection, since plasma is prepared from the patient’s blood and is rich in ions, sugar, Harmon, protein & mineral salts. Clinics in Albania have tested PRP method in combination with hair transplanting technique on many patients; no adverse incident had been reported so far. Rather patients found faster improvement in growth of healthy hairs.
