A hair transplant in the UK costs £4,820 on average for 1,500 grafts, or about £3.25 per graft, based on quotes from 58 UK clinics. Your price depends mainly on how many grafts you need: around £2,600 for 800 grafts and £8,100 for 2,500.
Hi, my name’s Matt Devlin and I’m a hair loss consultant for the Wimpole Clinic in Harley Street, London. And today I’m going to be talking to you about understanding the cost of a hair transplant.
How expensive is a good hair transplant?
So the cost of a hair transplant essentially depends on how many hair follicles need to be extracted and replaced in your head. A typical number to be extracted during a hair transplant might be between 1500 and 2200 follicles. It’s very hard to give an average cost as it’s totally dependent on the individual person and how severe or advanced their hair loss is. But our procedures range from three and a half thousand pounds to seven and a half thousand pounds.
There are no hidden costs — that covers everything from pre-care to after care and the surgery itself. Our initial consultations are free. During that consultation we’ll examine the scalp to establish its condition and the density of the hair follicles.
This is all in the name of being as clear and upfront as possible. We’ll give you an idea of what you can expect if you go ahead with a hair transplant. It’s not a case of instantly having the rejuvenated hair density of a 10 year old; we work with the follicles you have on your head so we want to make sure you totally understand what the procedure involves and what the likely results are.
You see a lot of adverts for cut-price hair transplant clinics, often located abroad. My advice would be to avoid these deals that offer the world at bargain prices. You need expertise for these procedures to truly look natural. This is our world. We understand how sensitive and important hair can be to self-confidence, self-image. So we’ll make sure that you have everything you need to make the right choices and come out feeling fantastic about your decisions and the results.
Losing your hair is difficult, which is why hair transplant surgery is so transformative. Hair loss is a natural part of ageing, and it affects millions of people around the world. In fact, two-thirds of men — and around a third of women — will be affected by hair loss at some point in their lives.
But that doesn’t make it any easier to deal with when it happens to you.
Hair loss often leads to low confidence, loss of identity, and even anxiety and depression. It can put a serious dent in your joie de vivre, causing problems when it comes to socialising, dating, and even progressing at work.
Hair transplants have been increasing in popularity for many years now as more people turn to cosmetic surgery to restore their confidence. But the UK has seen a recent rise in the number of shady hair transplant clinics in operation. These clinics are inexperienced at best and unlicensed at worst. They take advantage of the low confidence and high anxiety that stem from losing your hair, promising huge results at extortionately high or suspiciously low prices.
A hair transplant in the UK costs £4,820 on average for 1,500 grafts, based on quotes from 58 UK clinics, though prices ranged from £1,995 to £15,000. At Wimpole, FUE and FUT start at £3,499, at the same price across all our locations.
