At [Hair Transplants London](https://hairtransplantslondon.com/) your quote shows the total payable for the graft count your surgeon recommends. ## How much does a hair transplant cost per graft in the UK? Per-graft prices in the UK commonly range from about £2 to £5 per graft, falling as the session gets larger. Small sessions carry a higher price per graft because a large part of the cost is fixed: the surgical team's time, the theatre, anaesthetic, medication and aftercare are needed whether you have 500 grafts or 3,000. That is why 500 grafts can cost £3,500, about £7 per graft, while 5,000 grafts can cost about £2 per graft. Outside London, prices can be lower, though many established clinics in other UK cities charge similar amounts.

On per-graft pricing in London, 3,000 grafts typically costs around £7,400 to £7,600. On a fixed package, 3,000 grafts can cost from around £3,199 for FUE or £4,099 for DHI. Three thousand grafts is a medium to large session that can restore a hairline and the front third for many men. See our guide to [how many grafts you need](https://hairtransplantslondon.com/guides/how-many-grafts-do-i-need) for what different graft counts usually cover. ## How much is 2,000 grafts in the UK? Around £6,100 to £6,400 on per-graft pricing, or from around £3,199 on a fixed FUE package. Two thousand grafts is a common size for a receding hairline at Norwood 3. ## How much is 5,000 grafts in the UK? Around £9,900 to £10,500 on per-graft pricing, or from around £3,799 on a fixed FUE package up to 5,000 grafts. Five thousand grafts in one session is a very large procedure. Not everyone has enough donor hair for it, and many surgeons prefer to split large graft counts over two sessions at least a year apart. ## How much is 1,000 grafts? Around £4,500 to £4,900 on per-graft pricing. One thousand grafts suits temple refinement, a small hairline adjustment, a crown touch-up or beard and eyebrow work. On a package up to 3,000 grafts, you would be paying for capacity you do not use, so per-graft pricing is often fairer for small sessions. ## Per-graft pricing or a fixed package: which is better value? | | Per-graft pricing | Fixed package | | --- | --- | --- | | How it works | You pay for the grafts placed, often in bands | One price up to a graft limit | | Best for | Small or very precise sessions | Mid to large sessions near the limit | | Budgeting | Final figure set after assessment | Known upfront | | Watch out for | Final graft count rising on the day | Paying for capacity you do not need | The fairest comparison is the total payable for the number of grafts your surgeon recommends, including every fee. Our [hair transplant cost guide](https://hairtransplantslondon.com/guides/hair-transplant-cost-uk) covers per-graft and package pricing in more detail. ## Why do some clinics charge so much less per graft? Lower prices can reflect efficient packages, lower premises costs, or more of the work being done by technicians rather than the surgeon. In England, the clinic must be registered with the Care Quality Commission and the doctors with the General Medical Council. Ask who performs each step, how many procedures run each day, and what aftercare is included. Our guide to [choosing a hair transplant clinic](https://hairtransplantslondon.com/guides/choosing-hair-transplant-clinic-uk) explains how to check. ## What else affects the price beyond graft count? - **Technique.** DHI usually costs £900 to £1,200 more than FUE at the same graft limit. FUT pricing varies. - **Shaving.** Unshaven or partially shaven FUE takes longer and may cost more. - **Surgeon involvement.** Procedures where the doctor performs more of the work personally usually cost more. - **Extras.** PRP is around £500 per session where it is not included. - **Location.** Harley Street and central London are typically at the higher end. ## What should be included in the price? Check whether your quote includes the consultation, local anaesthetic, medication, a post-operative kit, the first wash, PRP if offered, and follow-up appointments during the 12-month growth phase. Ask about any booking or arrangement fees. ## Do clinics charge per graft or per hair? Almost all UK clinics charge per graft, not per hair. Each graft holds one to four hairs, about two on average. Be careful when comparing figures from clinics that quote hairs: 4,000 hairs might be only about 2,000 grafts. ## Does the final graft count ever change on the day? It can. Your surgeon estimates the graft count at assessment, but the exact number depends on what is found during surgery, such as how many grafts the donor area yields and how many are needed to reach the planned density. On per-graft pricing, ask for an upper limit in writing, so you know the most you could pay. On a package, check what happens if more grafts are needed than the limit allows, and whether any unused capacity can be carried over to a later session. ## How do you budget for a two-session plan? If you have extensive hair loss, the total cost is the price of both sessions, usually at least 12 months apart. For example, 3,000 grafts in a first session at about £7,400 to £7,600, followed by 2,000 grafts for the crown at about £6,100 to £6,400, would come to roughly £13,500 to £14,000 on per-graft pricing. Ask for an estimate of the whole plan at your assessment, including whether second-session pricing differs, so you can decide whether to go ahead with the first stage. ## Can you pay monthly? Many clinics offer finance, including interest-free options, subject to status. For example, a £6,400 procedure with a £1,000 deposit over 24 months at 0% would be £225 a month. Check the total amount payable. ## Get a personalised quote Your graft count, and so your price, can only be set after a doctor has examined your scalp and donor area.
