The hidden ongoing cost patients underestimate: Finasteride to protect non-transplanted hair from ongoing DHT-related loss costs approximately £25–£50 / AUD $35–$80 / USD $20–$60 per month indefinitely. Over 5 years this adds £1,500–£3,000 / AUD $2,100–$4,800 / USD $1,200–$3,600 to total cost of ownership. Factor this into your comparison with home country clinics.
