Hair Transplant Before and After Results

Most of our patients start seeing new hair growth after 4–5 months as this is after the shedding phase. It takes between 9-12 months post-surgery to see thicker and fuller results appearing. Final outcomes vary slightly depending on hair type, density, and the technique used but are typically at the 12 – 18 month period.

In the first few days, you’ll notice some mild redness, swelling, and small scabs in the recipient area and the donor area. These naturally heal within 7–14 days. We provide an aftercare pack that contains everything you will need post surgery as well as support and an aftercare portal with videos of what to expect and what to do.

Your first wash is on day 3. This is a contactless wash of the recipient area but contact wash of the donor area. We provide shampoo and saline spray in the aftercare bag. You can use the spray bottle to mix shampoo with water to then spray on for your first wash. We also provide instructions on how to wash for the first few days post hair transplant surgery.

This is normal and called “shock loss.” The hair shafts shed temporarily while the follicles remain intact beneath the scalp. New growth begins a few months later as part of the natural cycle.

The cost varies from person to person as each patient will have a different area of hair loss as well as donor area. Typically hair transplants with Harley Street Hair Transplant Clinics cost between £3,000 and £7,000. You will receive a tailored pricing plan during your initial consultation with one of our patient advisors. You are then invited to also have a surgeon consultation to discuss any remaining medical questions.

Yes of course. You can browse the current selection of before and after pictures. We are regularly reviewing the images and updating this page with more of them. You can also ask to view more images during your consultation as well as ask to be put in touch with some of our previous patients to have a discussion with them about their experience with us and ask any questions that you have.

This depends on your level of hair loss and what you wish to achieve as well as what is possible to achieve. Mild recession may require 1,500 – 2,000 grafts, while more advanced thinning could need 2,500 – 3,000 grafts or more. As we don’t price per graft but per area, the patient advisor and surgeon will be able to see and assess you during your consultations and give you a tailored price for your level of hair loss.

We advise having 14 days off work post surgery. This also Depends on what you do for work. If you work from home for example, you can pretty much go to work from day 3-5 depending on how you feel. If however you work as a construction worker for example, then you will need the full 2 weeks off to give your transplanted area and donor area a chance to heal and for the newly transplanted grafts to “bed in”.

You’re likely going to be a good candidate if you have a good/great donor hair with lots of hair, stable hair loss, and realistic expectations. This is one of the reasons that we ask for pictures before any consultations are booked in order to assess your eligibility and make sure you aren’t having a consultation unnecessarily.

Yes we can perform unshaven/partially shaven hair transplants. Our surgeons have years of experience in UFUE hair transplants where the recipient area isn’t shaven when there is a clear area of hair loss, such as temple or hairline recession. The donor area has to be shaven.

Typically 12 months for most hair transplants with the crown needing 18 months. The hair transplant timeline is:

• Shedding phase begins at 3-6 weeks
• Initial signs of growth at month 3-4
• By month 6-7 more than 50% of density should be visible
• Month 12 is full maturity and a final review
