Treatments & prices in Bangkok
ImportedEvery treatment this condition maps to, cheapest first — diagnostics before treatments. Each links to its full price comparison. One pathway per patient; we never sum options into a fake total.
| Treatment | Type | Local price | from ≈USD | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRP for Hair Loss | treatment | THB 10,000–THB 10,000 | $297 | unverified |
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks hair follicles, causing sudden smooth, round patches of hair loss on the scalp, beard or body. It can occasionally progress to total scalp or body hair loss, and hair often regrows.
How it is diagnosed:
- Examination of the patches (and the tell-tale 'exclamation-mark' hairs)
- Sometimes a scalp biopsy or blood tests for associated autoimmune conditions
How it is treated: steroid injections into the patches, topical medicines, light therapy and, for severe cases, JAK-inhibitor medicines; PRP and regrowth therapy support recovery. Compare the priced procedures in the treatment menu above.
Clinical facts: MedlinePlus (U.S. National Library of Medicine), 2026. Procedure ranges are unverified 2025 market imports until re-checked.

When flying pays off — the break-even line
Modeled previewThe go/no-go math everyone does on a napkin, done transparently: price here plus trip costs from United States (change in the header) — flying beats staying when your quote at home is above the line.
| Treatment option | Price here | + Trip (est.) | Flying pays above |
|---|---|---|---|
| PRP for Hair Loss 5-night modeled trip | from $297 | ≈ $2,150 | ≈ $2,450 |
Trip = flights, hotel, transport and medication from the same model as the all-in estimates — labeled estimates, not quotes. If your quote at home is below the line, staying home wins on pure price; quality, waits and urgency are separate calls — see the MCI index above.

Second opinion first — before you commit
Not yet sourcedHaving your existing diagnosis re-read here is the cheapest way to test a hospital's quality before booking anything. Prices land per hospital with sources — never estimated.
- Remote records review — written second opinion your existing scans, pathology and reports, reviewed without flying Not yet priced
- Video consultation with a specialist live case discussion after the review Not yet priced
- In-person specialist consultation reference price if you're already here Not yet priced
A second opinion changes the plan often enough that specialists expect to be asked for one — it's a normal request, not an insult. Remote-review prices are being collected per hospital.
