Have You Considered Having a Hair Transplant?
Everything You Need to Know Before Taking the Next Step
Hair loss can have a profound impact on your self-esteem, confidence, and even the way you present yourself to the world. At The London Hair Clinic, we meet people every day who are exploring options to restore their hair and regain their confidence. One of the most effective and permanent solutions is a hair transplant — but is it the right option for you?
In this blog, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know if you’re considering a hair transplant.
What Is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves moving healthy hair follicles from one area of the scalp (usually the back or sides) to areas where the hair is thinning or balding. The goal is to restore a natural-looking hairline and fill in bald patches.
There are two main types of hair transplant techniques:
- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
Both techniques are highly effective, but your suitability depends on factors like hair type, extent of hair loss, and your medical history.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You might be a strong candidate for a hair transplant if:
- You have stable hair loss (typically due to male or female pattern baldness)
- You have enough donor hair on the back or sides of the scalp
- You are in good general health
- You have realistic expectations about results
During a consultation at The London Hair Clinic, our trichologists and surgeons assess your scalp, hair quality, and goals to help determine your eligibility.
What Are the Benefits?
✔️ Permanent results – Unlike topical treatments or medications, hair transplants offer a lasting solution.
✔️ Natural appearance – Skilled surgeons can recreate your natural hairline with precision.
✔️ Low maintenance – Once the transplanted hair grows in, it can be washed, styled, and trimmed like normal hair.
✔️ Improved self-confidence – Many clients report feeling more confident in both personal and professional settings.
What to Expect During and After the Procedure
A typical hair transplant is performed under local anaesthetic and can take several hours, depending on the size of the area being treated. You can expect:
- Consultation and Planning – We design a custom hairline and select donor sites.
- Procedure Day – The grafts are extracted and transplanted with precision.
- Recovery – Most clients return to work within a few days. Shedding is common at first, but new growth begins in 3–4 months, with full results at 9–12 months.
What Does It Cost?
Costs vary based on the technique used and the number of grafts required. At The London Hair Clinic, we offer transparent pricing to make treatment accessible. A fixed price will be agreed after the consultation.
