What is a crown hair transplant?


A crown hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles from the back or sides of the scalp to the crown area, where hair growth is thinning or absent. The crown area, also known as the vertex, is the area located at the top and back of the head. Hair loss in this area can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, age, hormonal changes, and medical conditions. A crown hair transplant aims to restore a natural-looking and dense hair growth in the crown area, improving the overall appearance and boosting the patient's confidence. The most common technique used for crown hair transplants is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), which involves extracting individual hair follicles using a micro-punch tool and transplanting them into the crown area. The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia, and patients can return to their normal routine within a few days of the procedure. The results of a crown hair transplant can take several months to fully develop, but with proper aftercare and maintenance, the transplanted hair can last for a lifetime.

What causes the crown to go bald?


Balding around the crown area is a common type of hair loss that affects many people, particularly men. The main cause of this type of hair loss is genetics. The genetic factors that lead to balding around the crown area involve the sensitivity of hair follicles to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that is derived from testosterone. DHT causes the hair follicles to shrink, which eventually leads to the hair becoming finer and shorter until it stops growing altogether. Over time, the affected hair follicles may become completely dormant, resulting in a completely bald crown area. Other factors that may contribute to hair loss around the crown area include age, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions. Stress, poor nutrition, and certain medications may also contribute to hair loss. In some cases, hair loss around the crown area may be a side effect of chemotherapy or radiation therapy. However, genetics remain the primary cause of balding around the crown area.

Planning for a Hair Transplant?


Planning for a hair transplant is an important step towards achieving your desired look. Before undergoing the procedure, it is important to consult with a qualified hair transplant surgeon to discuss your expectations, assess your suitability for the procedure, and create a personalised treatment plan. Our surgeons will evaluate your hair loss pattern, hair density, and donor area to determine the number of hair grafts needed and the best technique for your individual needs. Additionally, we will provide you with pre-operative instructions, such as avoiding blood-thinning medication and smoking, and post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to optimise the success of the hair transplant procedure. With careful planning and the guidance of our skilled hair transplant surgeons, you can achieve natural-looking and long-lasting results from your hair transplant procedure.

What hair transplant technique is used for a crown hair transplant?

The most common hair transplant technique used for a crown hair transplant is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). This technique involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area, usually at the back of the head, using a micro-punch tool. The extracted hair follicles are then transplanted into the crown area, where hair growth is thinning or absent. The FUE technique is ideal for crown hair transplants as it allows for precise extraction and placement of hair follicles, resulting in a natural-looking and dense hair growth. FUE is also a minimally invasive and scar-free procedure, and the recovery time is relatively quick, allowing patients to return to their normal routine soon after the procedure. However, other techniques such as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) may also be used depending on the patient's specific needs and goals.

How much does a crown hair transplant cost?

The cost of a crown hair transplant can vary depending on several factors, including the geographic location of the clinic, the experience and expertise of the surgeon, the number of grafts required, and the type of technique used. On average, the cost of a crown hair transplant in the United Kingdom can range from £4,000 to £10,000. It's important to note that cost should not be the only factor when considering a hair transplant, as the quality of the procedure and the experience and expertise of the surgeon are also crucial considerations. Some clinics may also offer financing options to make the procedure more affordable for patients. It's recommended to schedule a consultation with a hair transplant surgeon to discuss the specific details of the procedure and obtain an accurate estimate of the cost.

Why consider a crown hair transplant?

There are several reasons why someone might choose to get a crown hair transplant:


  • Hair loss: One of the most common reasons for a crown hair transplant is hair loss in the crown area. This can be due to a variety of factors, including genetics, age, hormonal changes, and medical conditions. A crown hair transplant can help restore a natural-looking and dense hair growth, improving the overall appearance and boosting the patient's confidence.
  • Receding hairline: A receding hairline can also affect the crown area, resulting in a patchy or uneven hair growth. A crown hair transplant can help fill in the gaps and achieve a more uniform hairline.
  • Self-esteem: Hair loss can have a significant impact on a person's self-esteem and confidence. A crown hair transplant can help improve the patient's self-image and overall quality of life.
  • Aesthetic reasons: Some patients may choose to get a crown hair transplant for aesthetic reasons, such as to achieve a fuller or more youthful appearance.


It's important to note that not everyone is a suitable candidate for a crown hair transplant and a consultation with one of our hair transplant surgeons is necessary to determine whether the procedure is appropriate and what the expected results may be.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long will it take to see results?

    The results of a crown hair transplant can vary from patient to patient and can depend on several factors, including the extent of the hair loss, the number of grafts transplanted, and the patient's individual healing process. Generally, patients can expect to see some initial growth within the first 3-4 months following the procedure. However, it's important to note that the transplanted hair may initially fall out before new growth occurs. This is a normal part of the healing process and is known as "shock loss." The new hair growth usually starts to become more visible between 6-9 months after the procedure, and the final results may take up to 12-18 months to fully develop. With proper aftercare and maintenance, the transplanted hair can last for a lifetime. It's important to discuss realistic expectations for the results with your hair transplant surgeon during the consultation.

  • Can women have a crown hair transplant?

    Yes, women can have a crown hair transplant. Hair loss in the crown area can affect both men and women, and a crown hair transplant can be an effective solution for restoring a natural-looking and dense hair growth in this area. However, it's important to note that the causes of hair loss in women can be different from those in men and may require a different approach to treatment. In addition, women may have different hair characteristics and hair loss patterns than men, which may affect the outcome of the procedure. A consultation with a hair transplant surgeon is necessary to determine whether a crown hair transplant is appropriate for a woman and what the expected results may be.

  • Will the crown hair transplant leave a scar?

    The crown hair transplant procedure, like any surgical procedure, may leave some scarring, but the degree and visibility of the scarring can vary depending on the technique used, the skill of the surgeon, and the individual healing process of the patient. At Harley Street Hair Transplant Manchester, we specialise in the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique for crown hair transplants, which involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area using a micro-punch tool and then transplanting them into the recipient area. FUE is known for its minimal scarring compared to other hair transplant techniques, as the procedure does not require the removal of a strip of skin from the donor area, which can leave a linear scar. Instead, FUE leaves tiny, circular scars in the donor area that are typically not visible to the naked eye once the hair has grown back. The scars may also fade over time and become less noticeable. Your hair transplant surgeon will discuss the potential scarring and any concerns you may have during the consultation.
