Picking the right clinic for your Hair Transplant procedure is a tricky one as there are a lot of options available. It is really important that you spend time researching hair transplant surgery as your donor hair is the key factor to getting a good result and you don’t want to damage these precious hairs by picking the wrong procedure or clinic.

We have been consistently developing our hair transplant techniques over the years and we have been able to achieve the most natural results with almost undetectable scars. Many of our patients seek FUE (follicular unit extraction) procedures to avoid the long linear scar associated with FUT (follicular unit transfer) surgery.

What is the FUE hair transplant?

FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction and is an innovative hair restoration procedure which involves making tiny entry points in the scalp to extract the hair follicles from the donor area. These follicles are harvested and are then implanted into the treated areas.

This method of hair restoration is minimally invasive and is performed under local anaesthetic. The trauma to the scalp is minimal due to the fine instruments that are used. There is also no linear scarring involved making the procedure almost undetectable; with other hair transplant procedures such as FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant), a linear scar is left across the back of the head making this procedure more noticeable.

We are also able to offer the Micro FUE with Implanters technique in our London Harley Street clinic which offers virtually undetectable natural-looking results with minimal trauma to the scalp. Find out more here.

Hair Transplant FAQs

Do I need to shave my hair before a hair transplant procedure?

When you undergo the FUE hair transplant procedure you are required to shave around the treatment area as well as at the back and on the sides. The hair can be shaven before you arrive at the clinic for your hair transplant procedure, or we can shave it for you before the procedure is due to take place.

We can offer partially shaven hair transplant procedures where only a small section of the donor area is shaved.

At The Private Clinic, we can accommodate hair transplant cases where someone does not want to shave the area being treated at all. The unshaven hair transplant (U-FUE) is not overly popular but for some in the public eye, a public speaker or a high-profile director they may choose this option.

It is best to book a consultation with our Hair Transplant surgeons to discuss your requirements and suitability for a U-FUE procedure.

When can I see the results of my FUE hair transplant procedure?

Patients can see an outline of their newly restored hairline directly after their procedure. After the treatment the hair will start to grow immediately however, you will experience an initial shedding period where the transplanted hair falls to then grow back stronger and healthier. You will be able to start seeing the initial hair growth around 4-6 weeks after the procedure and the final results are seen within 6 to 12 months.

Does the FUE Hair Transplant treatment hurt?

The FUE procedure is not painful as it is performed under local anaesthetic. Patients have reported a slight rubbing sensation on their scalp. The only time where patients usually feel the most discomfort is a few hours post-procedure but this can be managed with painkiller medication.

Will I need more than one Hair Transplant procedure?

The FUE procedure is meant to be a one-time procedure; however, this can vary from patient to patient depending on the level of hair loss and the results that you want to achieve. Some patients require a second procedure due to further hair loss; this usually helps cover those new areas adding fullness and density.

At The Private Clinic, we recommend waiting 12 months between procedures to allow the new hair follicles to fully grow so your surgeon can better asses the areas that require further treatment.

Hair Transplants Abroad vs Hair Transplant UK

Why choose The Private Clinic of Harley Street for your Hair Transplant procedure?

• We have highly experienced Hair Transplant Surgeons who are members of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS).
• Highly experienced Doctors will treat you. Our Hair Transplant surgeons specialise 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), and is 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 short if you prefer without any obvious scarring.
• We work by hair, not per graft – this ensures that 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, and because we select healthy follicles, the treated area will look densely filled.
• Our surgeons also offer the Unshaven Hair Transplant (U-FUE) to those who prefer not to shave beforehand. At your consultation, we can 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.
• Expert aftercare advice and regular post-operative appointments with your hair transplant surgeon.
• 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.
