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.

Q: 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.

Treatment does not begin and end at the clinic door. For patients travelling from outside London — or outside the country — we coordinate the stay around the surgery, not the other way round.

IPartner hotels

Two of Marylebone's finest, at partner rates.

We have partnered with two hotels minutes from the clinic to offer exclusive accommodation arrangements — luxury, privacy and convenience, with preferential rates secured through us.

Grand hotel lobby (illustrative) — **The Landmark London** · 222 Marylebone Road, NW1 6JQ — grand Victorian landmark, eight minutes from the clinic by car.

Boutique hotel suite (illustrative) — **The BoTree** · 30 Marylebone Lane, W1U 2DR — contemporary five-star quiet, a short walk from Harley Street.

IIThe room itself

Dressed for recovery before you arrive.

When we book the room, the hotel knows why you are coming. Extra pillows for sleeping propped, housekeeping timed around your rest, water in the fridge, and your aftercare kit waiting on the desk when you walk in from surgery.

VThe table afterwards

Dinner, five quiet minutes on foot.

Marylebone eats better than almost anywhere in London, and does it without fuss. Fischer’s does grand Viennese comfort under low light; La Fromagerie does slow breakfasts worth getting up for; and the Village keeps a dozen quiet tables where nobody hurries you. Your coordinator books ahead where booking matters.

Marylebone Village in the morning (illustrative) — **Mornings** · coffee and the papers on the Village high street, five minutes from your room.

VIThe neighbourhood

Marylebone is a very civilised place to recover.

You will have a day or two with nothing clinical to do, and this is a good corner of London in which to have them. The village high street is five minutes on foot — independent bookshops, a proper cheesemonger, quiet restaurants that do not require a reservation made a month ago.

Regent’s Park is a ten-minute walk for the gentle air a fresh graft rather likes, and the Wallace Collection sits round the corner if the weather disagrees. What you will not find here is a crowd — which, in the first days after surgery, is the entire point.

VIIHow long to stay

Two nights is wise. Three is luxurious.

For a consultation alone, a same-day visit works — many patients pair it with a weekend. For surgery, we suggest arriving the day before and staying at least the night after, so your first wash and review happen five minutes from your bed rather than five hundred miles from it. Flying long-haul? Your surgeon confirms you are comfortable to fly at that first review — most patients are.

VIIIPracticalities

The small things nobody tells you.

1Bring a button shirtNothing that has to come off over your head for the first several days. It sounds trivial until the morning after.

2Book the extra nightFlying the same evening is possible and rarely wise. A night of proper sleep does the grafts more good than the saved hotel bill.

3Bring someone, or do notCompany helps, but nothing about the day requires it — the clinic handles you either way, and the car means you never need a lift.

4A hat for the journey homeLoose, clean, and given to you before you leave. Direct sun on new grafts is the one thing worth planning around.

IXTravelling with someone

Bring them, or come alone — both work.

Partners and family are welcome at the consultation, and the V-Class seats everyone with the luggage still out of sight. The hotels arrange adjoining rooms when asked, and on the surgical day itself — while you have the building to yourself — Marylebone, the park and the West End keep good company occupied until you are ready to be collected.

Coming alone changes nothing: the car, the coordinator and the 24-hour line mean there is no part of the journey that needs a second pair of hands.

Before you ask

Questions, answered honestly.

The things patients actually ask us — with straight answers, not sales copy.

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 keep growing for life. We may still advise on protecting the non-transplanted hair around them.

Does it hurt, and what's the recovery like?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so most patients are comfortable throughout — many listen to music or doze. You'll 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 before you commit to anything, never a starting-from number, and nothing is added on the day.

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. It's a year-long process, and we review you the whole way through.

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's 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?

Some Istanbul clinics do excellent work — 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 a messaging app. Compare like-for-like — surgery, medication, follow-up and travel — and the gap narrows considerably. The comparison table above sets it out honestly.
