A transplant moves follicles from the back of the head, which resists DHT, to thinning areas[1]. It does not stop loss in the hair you still have, so most surgeons want pattern loss stabilized with medication first.
PH users cite ₱160,000 to ₱200,000 for about 3,000 grafts[2]. The regrets they describe are aesthetic: a hairline set too high, or density so even it looks "halata na tanim"[3].
What people worry about
In readers' own words, from Filipino Reddit threads. Then our answer.
Lifetime cost“Mahal, sakit sa bulsa.”
Clinic hard sells“I wasted 120k in Svenson and nothing happened.”
Several users describe free consults that turn into large packages with no lab tests and no doctor. A PDS board-certified dermatologist can diagnose the cause, order tests and prescribe first-line treatment for the price of a consult. Ask who will examine you and whether they are a licensed physician before paying.[7][8][9]
