What fue hair transplant actually does, what it costs in Spain, and what a clinic has to hold on the public register before it can legally offer it to you.
What it is
FUE hair transplant, known clinically as follicular unit extraction. A clinic offering it needs the matching unit on its entry in the national register of health centres, and the doctor performing it needs the qualification that unit implies. Both are public and both take five minutes to check.
What it costs
What the quote should include
A surgical quote in Spain normally covers the pre-operative tests, the theatre, the anaesthetist and the follow-ups. A non-surgical quote covers the product and the session. Normally is not always, and an itemised written quote is your right here.
What pushes it up
City, the seniority and specialty of the doctor, the product or device, the number of areas, and whether a general anaesthetic is involved. VAT at 21 per cent applies to purely aesthetic treatment; treatment with a therapeutic purpose is exempt. Ask which you are being quoted.
When a price is too low
A figure far below the bottom of that range usually means a diluted or non-original product, a practitioner without the qualification the treatment requires, or a quote that omits something you will be charged for later. Ask which, in writing.
Before you book
Ask who performs it and what their official qualification is, ask to see the registry authorisation, ask for the itemised quote including VAT, and ask what happens if you are not happy. A clinic that answers all four without hesitating is telling you something useful.
