Where to start
Why choose Hair Transplants London
What is a hair transplant? A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves hair follicles from a donor area, usually the back and sides of the head, to thinning or bald areas. In England, any clinic carrying out hair transplant surgery must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Hair loss is personal, and the right answer is not always surgery. Every plan starts with a proper diagnosis: the pattern and cause of your hair loss, how stable it is, and how much donor hair you have. Only then do we recommend a technique and a graft count, with the total price in writing. If a transplant is not the best option for you yet, we will say so and explain the alternatives.
A hair transplant moves follicles from a donor area, usually the back and sides of the scalp where hair resists pattern hair loss, to areas that are thinning or bald. The transplanted follicles keep their original characteristics, which is why they usually keep growing long term. It redistributes hair you already have rather than creating new hair, so careful planning of your donor supply matters.
Techniques
FUE hair transplant in London, plus DHI and FUT
The right technique depends on your hair type, donor area, the size of the area to treat and how you wear your hair.
FUE
Follicular unit extraction. Individual groups of 1–4 hairs are removed one by one with a tiny punch and placed into small incisions. It leaves small dot scars rather than a line, so you can wear your hair short. The most common technique we perform.
DHI
Direct hair implantation. A form of FUE in which grafts are placed with a pen-like implanter that creates the channel and inserts the graft in one step. Often chosen for hairlines and adding density between existing hairs; usually costs more.
FUT (strip)
Follicular unit transplantation. A thin strip of scalp is removed from the back of the head and divided into grafts under a microscope. It can yield many grafts in one session and leaves a fine linear scar, usually hidden by hair.

Prices
Hair transplant cost in London (2026)
A hair transplant in London typically costs from about £3,500 for 500 grafts to £8,900–£11,900 for 4,500–6,000 grafts, and most full hairline and front restorations of 1,800–2,500 grafts cost £5,900–£6,900. Transplants are priced mainly by the number of grafts you need, so these typical ranges give you a realistic idea before your assessment.
| Approx. grafts | Typical price | Often used for |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | from £3,500 | Small hairline refinement or scar repair |
| 1,200 | around £4,900 | Temples or a moderate hairline |
| 1,800–2,500 | £5,900–£6,900 | Full hairline and front |
| 3,500 | around £7,900 | Front, mid-scalp and some crown |
| 4,500–6,000 | £8,900–£11,900 | Extensive hair loss over two sessions or more |
What affects the price
The main factors are the number of grafts, the technique (DHI usually costs more than standard FUE), whether the head is shaved, and what is included, such as PRP, medication and follow-up appointments. Treatment can usually be spread with monthly payments, subject to status. Your quote always shows the total payable. For a fuller breakdown, see our guide to UK hair transplant prices per graft.

Clinic
Our hair transplant clinic in London
Consultations and surgery take place in a CQC-registered clinic that is easy to reach for follow-up visits. Assessments can also start by video if you would like an initial view before travelling in.
Harley Street and the surrounding Marylebone streets have long been associated with private medicine. An address on its own is not a qualification, though: what matters is the clinic’s CQC registration, the surgeon’s GMC registration and experience, and a clear written plan. Our guide to Harley Street hair transplants explains what to check.
Standards
Choosing a hair transplant clinic in London
Hair transplant surgery in England is regulated. The clinic must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and the doctors must be registered with the General Medical Council (GMC). Beyond that, these are the things we think every patient should know before booking anywhere.
Who does what
In many clinics, technicians carry out parts of the procedure under a surgeon’s supervision. Ask which steps the surgeon performs personally (planning, hairline design, incisions, extraction), how many procedures the team does per day, and whether the surgeon is present throughout. We will tell you exactly who is involved at each stage.
What a good consultation looks like
Expect questions about your hair loss history, health, medication and family history, followed by a close look at the thinning areas and your donor hair, often with a magnifying scope. You should leave knowing the likely cause, whether surgery is suitable now or later, the recommended technique and graft count, the risks, and the total price in writing.
Before-and-after photos
Photos should be of the clinic’s own patients, unedited, in similar lighting and taken at a stated time after surgery, ideally 12 months. Results vary, so ask to see typical cases rather than only the best ones. Be wary of pressure selling, time-limited discounts and guarantees.
Suitability
Who is suitable for a hair transplant?
- Enough donor hair at the back and sides to cover the area you want treated.
- Stable or slowing hair loss. We are cautious with younger patients whose pattern is still developing.
- A diagnosed cause. Pattern hair loss responds well; some other causes need different treatment first.
- Realistic expectations about density, especially across large areas like the crown.
Hair transplants for women
Women’s hair loss is often more diffuse, so fewer women are suitable for surgery than men, but some are, for example with stable thinning in a defined area, a high hairline or hair loss from long-term tight hairstyles. Medical causes are ruled out first. Read our guide to female hair transplants.
Beard and eyebrow transplants
The same techniques restore patchy beards and sparse eyebrows. This work needs careful angling and fewer grafts, and eyebrow hairs taken from the scalp may need regular trimming. Choose the treatment in the form and we will plan your consultation around it.
The process
From enquiry to surgery day
- Tell us what you need. Two short steps about your hair, your timing and how to reach you.
- Assessment. A doctor examines your scalp and donor area, in person or starting by video.
- Written plan. Technique, graft count, the risks and the total price, with time to decide.
- Surgery and aftercare. Usually a single day under local anaesthetic, then follow-up visits.
Aftercare
Recovery after a hair transplant
Most people return to desk work within about a week. The scalp is tender for a few days, tiny scabs form around each graft and fall away within one to two weeks, and transplanted hairs often shed between weeks two and eight before regrowing. New growth usually starts around months three to four, with most of the result visible at 12 to 18 months. You will get written aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments. Our month-by-month recovery timeline covers each stage in detail.
Risks to be aware of
A hair transplant is surgery and carries risks, which we explain before you consent. They include infection, bleeding, temporary swelling and numbness, folliculitis, visible donor scarring, lower-than-expected growth and an unnatural look if a hairline is poorly designed. Over-harvesting can leave the donor area thin, which is why we plan graft numbers conservatively.
Your options
London or abroad?
Many people compare London prices with clinics in Turkey and elsewhere. Overseas prices are often lower, but a fair comparison includes travel, who performs each step, how many patients are treated per day, and how easy follow-up care is if something goes wrong. Having surgery close to home means CQC and GMC regulation apply and aftercare visits are a short journey away.
Questions to ask at your consultation
- Am I a good candidate, and what result is realistic for me?
- How many grafts do you recommend, and what is the total price in writing?
- Which technique do you recommend and why?
- Who will perform each stage, and what is the surgeon’s GMC number?
- How will you plan for hair loss that may continue?
