Harley Street Hair Transplant Clinics patient with crown recession before and after procedure

Baldness is a problem that can affect all areas on the face and head. Often caused by male pattern baldness, hair loss on the crown of the head can be one of the most infuriating issues men can deal with. Crown hair transplant surgery is the only long term solution that provides you with a long-term, natural looking result.

What Causes the Crown to Bald?

The “crown” is found at the top of the head, heading slightly towards the rear. When it comes to balding, one of the first areas to suffer hair loss is the crown. Hair loss inn this area is often caused by a process called “male pattern baldness” (androgenic alopecia). This is where excess dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is produced by the body and combines to the hair follicles on your head; this disrupts the growth cycle of the hair on your head, causing irreversible shedding.

What’s worse is that this process of hair loss becomes more prevalent as men age and there is nothing we can do to prevent it. Male pattern hair loss is a heredity condition and many men experience crown hair loss as early as 30.

What is a Crown Hair Transplant?

When it comes to hair loss, getting hair transplant surgery is the only option that offers a long-term, natural solution for patients. A crown hair transplant looks to take existing hair on your head, and implant this into your affected area.

Different patients often show different severity of balding and it is this that usually dictates the course of treatment required. For those experiencing thinning, a lighter course of PRP treatment may be all that is needed. Equally, for those who have suffered extensive balding, an FUT or FUE hair transplant may be required.

All hair transplants at Harley Street Hair Transplant Clinics are carried out by GMC registered doctors at CQC clinics. We want you to rest assured that our procedures are clean, safe, and carried out by experienced professionals.

How does a Crown Hair Transplant Work?

Before your surgery, Harley Street Hair Transplant Clinics offers a free consultation with one of our consultants. At this phase, your treatment course, costs, and location of procedure will all be determined.

During a typical hair transplant surgery, you will first be given a local anaesthetic by the surgeon so you won’t feel anything. From here hair follicles are taken from a donor area (typically the back of the scalp) and implanted into a recipient area (in this instance, the crown). Depending on the severity of your baldness, this will determine the number of follicles (or “grafts”) needed. Obviously, if the crown is completely bald, it will need more grafts than one showing early signs of hair loss or thinning.

After the hair transplant procedure, you will be provided with a full aftercare package that will guide you through recovery. Your recovery time will be based around your course of treatment, and number of grafts implanted. Less invasive treatments (such as FUE) should leave you recovering for 7-10 days whilst more invasive treatments (such as FUT) may leave a scar that takes a few weeks to heal. We typically perform FUE transplants on the majority of our patients.

When it comes to results, your should expect to wait between 4-6 months. This gives your new hair follicles to grow naturally. Your crown should start looking thicker and fuller in no time!

What Treatment options are Available?

There are a number of different hair transplants available to solve crown hair loss. Here, we’ve devised a quick list to help you along the way.

  • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) – Using brand new technology, a FUE hair transplant is minimally invasive and offers the highest yield of hair regrowth. Extracting individual follicles hair from a donor area and implanting them into your affected area, this treatment boasts a swift procedure, short recovery time, and a minimal amount of scarring.
  • Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) – Often called the “strip method”, a FUT hair transplant is the “original” hair loss procedure. Tried and tested over decades of use, this surgical procedure takes larger strips of hair from the back of your head, separates the strip into smaller grafts under microscope, and implants these onto your affected area.

When it comes to costing and prices, hair transplants can differ greatly in price. As stated above, this is dependent upon what treatment you have and how many grafts are needed. The average cost of a typical hair transplant is around £5,500.

At Harley Street Hair Transplant Clinics, we’re committed to offering a quality crown hair transplant procedure at a fair price. That is why we’ve also developed affordable payment plans over the course of 12 to 60 months. No one should ever be priced out of a crown hair transplant!

Why Get a Crown hair transplant?

When compared to other treatment methods, there is nothing else available on the market that restores hair and prevents further hair loss like hair transplantation. Booking yourself in for crown hair restoration surgery can be one of the best things you can do to boost your self-confidence and appearance.

When it comes to alternative hair treatments, most patients come to us having already tried drugs like minoxidil and finasteride. Whilst these help to maintain hair density whilst you take them as supplements, as soon as you finish taking them, thinning and hair loss will continue. This will leave you wondering why you didn’t just get a hair transplant in the first place.

Similarly, in terms of results, nothing quite compares to a crown hair transplant. Using your own hair grafts as a restoration effort, nothing else even comes close to a “real looking result”. As well as chemical treatments, some patients have even tried wigs or scalp micro pigmentation (tattooing). Whilst this may hide the effects of losing hair, patients often come to us complaining about these methods that they have gotten elsewhere.

All of these alternative treatment methods are not performed under the experienced eyes of a doctor either. Investing in a hair transplant for your crown ensures your hair restoration journey is being performed by a safe pair of hands, in a clean clinic – it’s a genuine medical procedure!

Very few can deliver a professional service whilst ensuring that all clients receive first -class personalised treatment, turning what can be a daunting experience into something of relative ease. Both Kevin, Dr Karla, and their surgical team certainly did this (and then some!) Once my mind was made up to have hair loss treatment, I was keen to get my transplant done asap. Kevin exceeded all my expectations with this - it’s hard to believe that my journey from first consultation to surgery happened in the space of one month. Efficiency did not stop there - on the day of surgery, my transplant was completed in less than 6 hours, all the while ensuring that I was comfortable and pain-free. Security is the best word that comes to mind to describe Dr Karla’s care -you know you’re in experienced hands! Now I can look forward to the results over the next few months, with the added peace of mind that the Harley Street Clinic team are only a phone call or email away to address any concerns. They will be the first name I will recommend to anyone looking for effective hair loss treatment, and I hope to make use of their service again in the future should I need it.

From my first contact with Kevin he has provided great customer service, responding quickly or questions, offering consultations and giving me time to make my decision (not a salesman like I have experienced before). He is extremely knowledgeable in this area and so far everything he has told me has been true! Dr Kalra is a fantastic doctor and he knows everything there is to know about hair loss, I trust him completely. The surgery went smoothly, some of the injections hurt at the start but after that it’s the sitting still for hours that is the hardest part. The nurses were also brilliant they were happy to talk to you if you initiated conversation but didn’t chew your ear off if you were quiet. It is 4 months since my surgery and the the hair in the top of my head is almost fully covered with a few thinner spots where I previously had no hair at all, it seems to be noticeably thickening up weekly so I think one more month and no one would ever know I used to be bald! The donor area was completely healed and unnoticeable after 4 weeks. The aftercare has also been great, I have followed the instructions and I am very happy with the results so far.

I got a hair transplant and PRP for my hair. Im 19 years old and it’s the best decision I made so far. Manchester hair transplant clinic have been amazing. They were brilliant at welcoming me into getting a hair transplant and amazing at doing the job right. I will defiantly be going to them later on in my life if/when another is needed due to my age. I would highly recommend their service to anyone interested 😊

So after years of thinking about having a hair transplant i finally phoned up Harley street hair transplant clinic and spoke to Kevin who was extremely helpful answering all my questions.The transplant was on the 29th Jan 2022 by Dr Kalra and his team who made me feel really relaxed and comfortable. They were all very professional and very friendly. The procedure went great, no pain at all and I was extremely happy with the results. I can’t thank Kevin, Dr Kalra and his team enough, even the after care was unbelievable, thanks again guys. Highly recommend, 5 star service all day long. Cheers Richie

Had my FUE hair transplant on Saturday 5th February 2022 for receding hair line and balding crown. I’ve been thinking about a hair transplant for the last 2 years, I’ve heard bad stories and good stories as you do when you look through the internet or watching YouTube videos. I spoke with Kevin in January, great with explaining everything and putting me at ease (as I naturally worry about anything and everything). I wanted the surgery done as soon as possible after speaking to Kevin as everything felt right. Kevin arranged this for me and before I knew it here I am after surgery thinking what was I ever worried about and why didn’t I get this done sooner, however, things happen for a reason and that reason I hadn’t had it done sooner was I hadn’t found the right place or team to do the transplant and I’m glad that happened as I found Harley street hair transplant. I would highly recommend Kevin - Dr Kalra and his team. Thank you all for giving me my confidence back and making me feel like a different person. I am 4 days into my recovery and feel great. If you are reading this review and are like me with worrying about everything then please stop worrying, you are in safe hands before, during and after the procedure with Kevin, Dr Kalra and his team, just go for it. Thank you all again 😁

Massive Thankyou to all the team . After months of indecision as to wether to have a hair transplant or not ,i finally made the decision to make that first call,im so glad i did,im so pleased i went with Dr Khalra and his team. I first spoke to Kevin he come across as a very honest and genuine guy who was certainly very knowledgable about all the procedure ,after speaking to him i decided that these were the people i wanted to go with. On the day of the procedure i was very nervous,but on meeting Dr Kalra and his team i was immediately put at ease ,he was very reassuring and such a lovely friendly guy as was his team,It was all very proffesionally done in a lovely clean and modern clinic in Bury. Throughout the day i felt i was in really good hands with Dr Khalra and his team Naz and Raz ( hope ive spelt it right). Im now 7weeks into my Fue hair transplant and looking forward to the coming months to see the results . Ive no hesitation in recommending Dr Khalra Kevin and the team ,they are definitely the right people to go to if you are considering having a procedure done . Again i cant thank you enough . Mark..
