This is the process of surgically moving hair from the back and side (donor area) of the head to an area where increased hair growth is desired. The transplanted hair follicles start to get adjusted to the new area 24 hours after the procedure and over the coming days and weeks become well established. After 3-4 months, the follicles begin to grow in their new area; after 12-18 months, the transplanted hair follicles have maximum quality and thickness.

During FUT, the surgeon removes a section of skin from the back of the head and obtains hair follicles from this for the transplant. However, the nature of this procedure means that it can leave a rather specific type of scar along the back of the head where the area of skin has been taken from. However, FUE hair transplants are a much less invasive procedure, with individual hair follicles instead being taken directly from the scalp. The best thing about FUE is that it leaves minimal scarring, with recovery time being days as opposed to the multiple weeks that it can take for FUT scars to fully heal. On the whole, many patients prefer the FUE hair transplant method to FUT, with it being a less painful, more effective and refined procedure and allowing clients to achieve a more natural result.

Hair transplants require a highly skilled team as well as time. That is why we only perform one major hair transplant procedure per day to provide the best care and attention. Costs and prices for hair transplant procedures depend mainly on your level of hair loss, your goal and the chosen method of hair transplant surgery. The only way to be precise on the number of grafts required and the total cost is through a consultation with one of our surgeons. The surgeon will carry out a detailed consultation to assess your hair loss and discuss the best treatment options. We always endeavour to provide the best hair transplant price in the UK as well as the best hair transplant. We pride ourselves on providing a superb experience and ‘always available’ follow up care. As a general guide, our Hair Transplant price starts at £3,495 and Beard / Eye Brow Transplant from £2,995.

Hair transplants are permanent in that transplanted hair follicles will maintain their quality even when transplanted to an area of hair loss. This hair can be treated the same way as the rest of your other hair in every aspect, from washing it to cutting it.

One of the reasons that FUE is so popular is because it is much less invasive than something like FUT. A local anaesthetic is administered for the procedure, with most clients experiencing little to no pain. While you may experience some minor discomfort during your first few days of recovery, this is minimal, and the potential for further health complications following FUE is very low.

The healing begins within 24 hours of surgery. The most critical time is the first 4-5 days since the area is at its most sensitive and fragile state. During this time, it is imperative to be extra careful not to touch the recipient site. Within one week, the scabs have fully formed, and the donor area has healed. After two weeks, the scabs will fall away, and it is okay to start exercising and return to everyday life. We are always available for any questions about post-transplant aftercare.

We say that you can expect to see the final results within 12-18 months. How fast the hair grows is different from person to person. Some people can start to see good results soon as six months after surgery. It is important to be patient when it comes to having a hair transplant because the hair does not grow all at once but over time.

While hair transplants are ‘permanent’, the main difficulty with hair loss is that it is typically an ongoing issue, meaning that while your transplanted hair will remain, other hair around this area may continue to thin. In these cases, you might then wish to have a further hair transplant to allow you to regrow these other areas of hair loss. The number of hair transplants a person can have depends on the density of the donor area. An average person can have up to 3 hair transplants. Naturally, there is individual variation here.

Most men and many women are suitable except for those with significant medical illness. However, some people are better candidates than others; this is something we discuss in detail at your consultation and provide clear advice.
