FAQ

The likelihood of an unsuccessful hair transplant is relatively uncommon, as the success rate is around 98%. Typically hair transplants are the better alternative to hair restoration products and in many cases longer lasting too. Currently thriving, the FUE hair transplant is a contemporary approach that results in minimal scarring.

Each patient will have different requirements so we cannot claim a fixed price. Hair transplants can value between £3000 up to £7,000, such fluctuations in price are due to individual factors.

A hair transplant works by, a surgeon removing follicles from the donor area – this is a dense area of hair, usually found at the back of the scalp. The hair follicles are then prepared and transplanted into the recipient area of the scalp.

The transplant will take place at our clinic, where all the necessary facilities are available.

In most cases, we require the patient’s hair cut short; to ensure the maximum number of quality grafts. However, some transplants have occurred without cutting the hair short as the number of grafts required were minimal.

Not all patients are ideal candidates for treatment and hence why a personal consultation is essential before surgery. Factors such as age, the type of hair loss and family history of hair loss are all taken into consideration before concluding suitability for treatment.

Most patients require a total of two procedures in their lifetime. However, depending on the individual’s personal goals, level of hair loss and future changes, this may vary.

We expect the newly transplanted hair to shed by 3-6 weeks post-surgery and a further 2-4 months to begin regrowth. We approximate growth to be at the halfway stage by six months, then the completed result achieved within 12-14 months. Inevitably a definite time frame cannot be guaranteed, as all individuals vary. Nevertheless, we have seen the above to be a general pattern for many. We recommend that you have your progress reviewed by attending an appointment with the doctor six months post-surgery.

No, as we use the Hamilton-Norwood scale to classify male pattern baldness. It is not possible to cover the entire head without over-harvesting, which will lead to patchy donor area and consequently poor results.

We have a strict protocol that ensures we only have doctors completing the placement to ensure the naturalness of the final result. The FUE hair transplant procedure requires excellent surgical skills and natural artistic flair and we encourage you to view our gallery to see how we achieve the natural results which are the hallmark of a great hair transplant.

Lunch is no longer to be provided, although we have done so in the past. Due to the current pandemic, we will not stock food on our premises. We found that when patients lay down for a prolonged period and then consume a meal, this has often lead to choking or vomiting. Therefore it is at patients discretion to bring their packed lunch.

It is common to experience a sharp scratch whilst injecting the local anaesthetic, but once settled, you shouldn’t feel any pain at all.

A hair transplant procedure can vary from patient to patient. Duration of the surgery depends on several factors; i.e. the number of grafts, excessive bleeding, etc. Typically, hair transplants should last approximately 6 hours.
