Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant?

Most men with a stable donor area are. The honest answer comes at your consultation: KE-Bot measures your donor density and your surgeon tells you plainly whether surgery is right for you — and will say so if it isn't.

Is the result permanent?

Yes. Transplanted follicles are taken from areas that are genetically resistant to hair loss, so they behave like the hair they came from — that is why the donor area is chosen so carefully. We may still advise on protecting the non-transplanted hair around them.

Does it hurt, and what is the recovery like?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so most patients are comfortable throughout. You will look a little pink for a few days; the majority are back at work within a week.

Will there be visible scarring?

FUE leaves no linear scar. Each follicle is extracted through a tiny individual point that heals and fades to near-invisible — even if you later wear your hair very short.

How many grafts will I need — and what will it cost?

It depends on your pattern and your goals. Our estimator gives a realistic range in seconds, and your exact figure is confirmed by KE-Bot at consultation. Your quote is fixed and all-inclusive — confirmed at consultation before you commit to anything.

Who actually performs the surgery?

Your surgeon, from first consultation to final placement. The hairline design, the extraction, the implantation — one patient a day, all performed by his hands. At no point are you passed to an unsupervised technician.

How long until I see the result?

Transplanted hairs shed first — this is normal. New growth appears at around three to four months, and full density arrives at nine to twelve months.

Do you offer finance?

Yes. 0% APR finance is available over 6 or 24 months, always subject to the lender's assessment. A deposit may be required, and we agree that with you before you apply. City Clinics Group Limited is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Ideal Sales Solutions Ltd, t/a Ideal4Finance — they are the credit broker, not us, and the lending decision is theirs. We show you the exact figures before you commit to anything.

What is included in the price?

Everything: the surgery, KE-Bot mapping, all medication, and the full £2,000 aftercare programme — four surgeon reviews and four PRP sessions across your first year. Nothing is added on the day.

Why choose Harley Street over a package trip to Istanbul?

The difference is what surrounds the surgery. Here, the surgeon who consults you is the surgeon who operates, in our CQC-registered private hospital, and your £2,000 aftercare year happens face-to-face rather than over messaging apps. Compared like-for-like — surgery, medication, follow-up and travel — the gap narrows considerably.

Real cases from our files — hairline, crown and beard. Patient photographs are published exactly as received, and every caption tells you who held the camera.

Drag to compare — photographed in the same light, nothing retouched

Our authenticity pledge. Same lighting, same angle, no retouching, real graft counts. Patient photography is being prepared for this page — the plates shown are illustrative.

The authenticity pledge

Two kinds of photograph. One rule: untouched.

Clinical photographs are taken in the clinic to one standard — same light, same angles. The rest are our patients’ own: taken at home, on their phones, in whatever light their bathroom had that morning. We publish both exactly as they are — no filters, no retouching, no exceptions — and every caption says which is which. If a gallery looks too consistent to be true, it usually is.

Hairline & mid-scalp — FUE

Four files from the FUE ledger.

Before-and-after plates from our patient records. Where the after was taken at home, the caption says so — and nothing is retouched either way.

Beard transplants

A beard, from drawn line to grown line.

A beard is designed before it is placed — the line is drawn by hand, agreed with you in the mirror, and only then built follicle by follicle. The five frames below are one patient’s file, from first pen stroke to grown result.

The crown is the hardest area to restore well — grafts must follow the spiral, and the result is judged over twelve to eighteen months, not weeks. Photographed from above, honestly.

Eyebrow & female restoration

Documented privately, by request.

Eyebrow transplants

Brow work is intimate by nature — single follicles, placed one by one to a drawn line, on the most looked-at part of a face. Most of our brow patients decline publication, and we protect that without exception. At consultation, your surgeon walks you through comparable brow files privately.

Female hair restoration

Female restoration is the most private file we keep. Our female patients almost always choose confidentiality — so those cases are shown one-to-one at consultation: parting density, hairline softening and crown work, with the numbers attached. And when a patient chooses to speak publicly, we film it properly.

Reading a result honestly

A result is grown, not revealed.

Any clinic showing you a “one month miracle” is showing you something else. This is the honest curve:

Months 0–3Transplanted hairs shed first — normal, and temporary. Healing completes quietly.

Months 3–6New growth begins — fine at first, thickening month by month.

Months 6–9Density builds visibly; the design starts reading as your own hairline.

Month 12The result is judged — at your twelve-month review, with your surgeon.

How this gallery works

We publish with consent, or not at all.

Every case on this page is a real City Clinics patient, published with permission. Some categories show fewer photographs than others — because many patients choose privacy, and we think a clinic that respects that is one you can trust with your own photographs. The gallery grows only as consents are given.

Want to see more cases like yours? At consultation your surgeon walks you through comparable results privately, including the files we’ll never publish.

About results

Fair questions about any gallery.

Are these photographs real patients?

Yes — the case files on this page are real City Clinics patients, drawn from our records and published with consent. Photographs marked patient-submitted are shown exactly as received, in whatever light and camera they were taken with; clinical photographs are taken in the clinic to one standard. The interactive preview at the top of the page remains clearly marked illustrative while further consent releases are completed.

Will my result look like these?

Your result depends on your donor capacity, your pattern and your plan — no honest clinic promises you someone else’s head. At consultation your surgeon shows you comparable cases and tells you honestly what your hair can support.

Why don’t all cases show a graft count?

Because we only print numbers we can tie to theatre records. Where a count is published — like Abdul’s 1,500-graft file — we show it; for the rest, your surgeon confirms comparable counts at consultation, against the records. A number that can’t be verified is marketing, not evidence.
