This Hair Trust Pilot from the Hair Transporters Association of America received a $50.000 cash payment from a hair transplant pilot program.
The hair transplant was conducted on a male patient, who had undergone hair transplants in 2013 and 2014, and was awaiting hair transplant surgery, according to the Hair Trust’s press release.
The pilot is the first of its kind in the United States and the first hair transplant in the state of California.
The patient received about $8,000 in cash from the pilot, and the remaining $8.5 million was earmarked for treatment of the other patients, the release stated.
The Hair Trust pilot is a pilot program that allows Hair Transpersons to purchase and administer hair transplanted at a hospital, rather than through a hair removal center.
Hair transplant surgery is the only hair transplant procedure that can be performed in-hospital, and typically costs up to $12,000 per patient.
