hair transplant In Riyadh(تكلفة زراعة الشعر في الرياض), Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), often called the "strip method," remains the most budget-friendly surgical option for hair restoration. Because it is less labor-intensive than the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, clinics in the city typically offer it at a lower price point per graft.

As of early 2026, here is a breakdown of affordable FUT options and what residents should expect.

1. Estimated FUT Costs in Riyadh (2026)

While prices fluctuate based on the number of grafts and the surgeon’s reputation, FUT is generally 20% to 40% cheaper than FUE in the local market.

Note: The "starting price" for FUT in Riyadh typically begins around SAR 7,000 to 9,999 at mid-range clinics.¹

 

2. Recommended Affordable Clinics & Specialists

Several clinics in Riyadh are known for balancing cost with quality results.² When looking for "affordable" options, focus on clinics that offer transparent package pricing.

• Adama Hair Transplant Center: One of the most established centers in the Kingdom. They offer both FUT and FUE and frequently provide "Buy Now, Pay Later" options through partners like Tabby.³

   

• Enfield Royal Clinic: Known for competitive pricing, often starting FUT procedures at approximately SAR 9,999.

• Bizrahmed Riyadh: Offers personalized FUT plans and is recognized for high-volume graft sessions which can be more cost-effective.

• Specialized Medical Complexes: Many local complexes in areas like Olaya or Tuwaiq have dermatologists (such as at Adawa Namar or Biolife) where consultation fees are as low as SAR 50–200, though the surgical procedure is billed separately.⁴

   

3. How to Make It More Affordable

If the upfront cost is a barrier, consider these local financial strategies:

• Installment Plans: Many Riyadh clinics now partner with Tabby or Tamara, allowing you to split the cost into 4 interest-free payments.

• Seasonal Promotions: Look for "National Day" (September) or "Ramadan" offers, where clinics often slash prices by 15-25%.

• Consultation First: Some clinics like Padra Clinic offer free initial consultations to provide a fixed-price quote, preventing "hidden fees" later.

4. Why Choose FUT for Budgeting?

• Higher Yield: You can often get more hair in a single session compared to FUE, which is better for advanced balding.⁵

   

• Lower Cost Per Graft: The surgical time is shorter, meaning you pay less for the medical team’s time.

• Quality: In Riyadh, FUT is still performed by senior consultants who prefer the technique for its high graft survival rate.
