How Much Do Hair Transplants Cost? – Update 2024

Home » Blog » Hair Loss & Hair Transplants

We get quite a few calls asking about hair transplant prices and we know how important it is to a lot of prospective patients. In response, we wanted to let you know why we can only give out approximations prior to the consultation with one of our Hair Transplant surgeons.

What is the actual price of a Hair Transplant?

As a rough guide, we say that a FUE Hair Transplant procedure costs around £2.50 per transplanted hair. So this means that for someone with a moderate amount of hair loss, the procedure may be around £6,000-8,000. For more extensive procedures, the costs can increase considerably.

If you would like an Unshaven (U-FUE) hair transplant, the cost increases further. Many procedures end up costing between £6,000-9,000. More extensive hair restoration procedures may be split into multiple procedures.

Costs are calculated by the time taken, amount of hairs transplanted and the difficulty of the procedure. For instance, an unshaven (U-FUE) hair transplant requires considerable training and experience to achieve good results. It is particularly difficult and takes longer than a standard FUE hair transplant. This all adds to the cost. While it’s an exciting development for hair transplants, some patients will prefer the standard 3G advanced FUE hair transplant if they are looking to keep costs down.

Why are there price differences between clinics?

Price often reflects quality and experience. It’s not a guarantee though, so it’s important for patients to do their research. Have a look at the before and after photos available at consultations and ensure that you discuss the procedure thoroughly with your surgeon. For simpler hair transplant techniques such as the Strip FUT method, costs are lower and start at around £3,000. The Private Clinic strives to offer the best and most minimally invasive procedures available so we do not offer the FUT method and only offer the best services to our patients.

For top tier clinics and hair transplant surgeons, an advanced FUE procedure will start at around £6,000. If you are quoted a considerably lower price, please make sure you know why. You only have one body and you should treat it well. What may seem like a great deal, may not end up being one if you are left with bad results and significant scarring.

Here at The Private Clinic, we unfortunately often see patients who require hair transplants to repair poorly carried out hair transplants by inexperienced clinics and surgeons.

What can The Private Clinic tell you before a consultation?

We can give you a ‘starting from’ price with a cost per hair.
We can advise you on what medication you may benefit from taking before a hair transplant as well as general advice about the procedures.
We can talk to you about the aftercare, scarring, downtime and reported discomfort plus the potential risks and what we do to minimise them. Find out more about FUE Hair Transplant aftercare here.

At a consultation, you will be given a full scalp analysis and get to talk to one of our experienced hair transplant surgeons who would also be performing the procedure.

Our hair transplant surgeons are deeply passionate about their work and want the best for every patient.

Please do have a look at our blogs and website to gain lots of information and build up a list of questions to ask in a consultation.

How much does a Trichology appointment cost?

Unless you have bald patches and a receding hairline, you might not yet be at a stage where you need a Hair Transplant. That’s good news!

Your hair might just be thinning, which means that with the correct treatment, it could be restored.

A Trichologist will go over all the different factors that might affect your hair health and thoroughly inspect your hair and scalp, to diagnose what’s causing your hair to thin. It’s important to establish whether any underlying conditions such as an iron deficiency, or a B12 vitamin deficiency, are at the root of your problem.

The price for a full one-hour consultation ranges starts from £187. This appointment will enable you to find out the cause of your hair loss/thinning and how to treat it. They can also identify if you might benefit from a Hair Transplant.

How much do Eyebrow and Beard Transplants cost?

Thin eyebrows can be a result of genetics, a form of Hair Loss or over-plucking, and the same is true with beards – perhaps minus the plucking.

The price of an Eyebrow Transplant starts from £5,000.

Beard Transplants require a specific skill set and are more difficult and time-consuming than standard Hair Transplants. The skin of the lower face is different to that of the scalp. As a result, it cannot withstand sustained implantation at the same rate as the scalp. The different approach required for this procedure means that we charge around £5 per transplanted hair and our patients can typically expect the procedure to cost between £6,000 and £8,000.

All prices mentioned on this blog aren’t set and can be different depending on your choice of surgeon and your circumstances. We assess patients on a case-by-case basis and take into account their personal requirements, desired results, and the complexity of their case.

Hair Transplants at The Private Clinic

The Private Clinic of Harley Street offers the latest and most advanced FUE Hair Transplant procedures available. Including hair transplants to the face and eyebrows. Hair Transplants are the only permanent hair loss solution.

The Private Clinic prides itself on ensuring you have the best quality and most comprehensive care:
You will be treated by highly experienced Doctors. Our Hair Transplant surgeons are specialised in FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and treat hundreds of patients every year.
FUE is a minimally invasive treatment(meaning there is no cutting of a strip) carried out under local anaesthetic. Many patients either watch TV or even fall asleep during the procedure.
Unlike the Strip (FUT) procedure, you won’t require any stitches after your treatment. This means that the recovery time is also reduced when compared to the Strip surgery.
We use the finest instruments, resulting in as minimal trauma to your scalp as possible.
Thanks to our advanced skills and techniques, our team ensure that the donor area looks intact after the hair transplant procedure and you can keep your hair really short if you prefer without any obvious scarring.
We work by hair, not per graft. Only the strongest, healthiest follicles are selected for your transplant procedure.
Your results will look natural, with denser packing. The hair is implanted in the direction that matches your hair growth. The treated area will also look densely filled because we only select the healthiest follicles.
Our surgeons also offer the Unshaven Hair Transplant (U-FUE) to those who prefer not to shave beforehand. At your consultation, we will be able to advise you on whether an unshaven procedure is suitable for you.
Scars resulting from injuries or previous surgeries can also be corrected with our FUE for Scar Repair procedure.
You are entitled to as many post-operative care and appointments with your Hair Transplant surgeon and the nursing team as required.
We offer a 24-hour patient helpline to ensure you are always in the best of hands.
We have clinics nationwide in London Harley Street, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Northampton.
