Colorado Cost Per Graft Breakdown
Colorado's hair transplant market centers on the Denver metro area, where roughly a dozen dedicated hair restoration clinics compete for patients. The per-graft pricing breaks down by clinic type and location.
| Clinic Type | Cost Per Graft | Typical Location |

What Drives Colorado's Per-Graft Pricing
Denver's rapid population growth over the past decade has pushed commercial real estate costs higher, particularly in neighborhoods like Cherry Creek where premium clinics operate. Surgeon specialization also plays a role. ISHRS-fellowship-trained surgeons who focus exclusively on hair restoration tend to charge $5 to $7 per graft, while multi-specialty practices may offer $4 to $5.
Graft count is the single biggest factor in your total cost. Use our graft cost calculator to estimate your total based on your hair loss stage.
Most Colorado clinics accept CareCredit and provide in-house financing with 12 to 18 month interest-free terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
