What affects the price of a hair transplant?
The number of grafts has the greatest effect on the price, but it is not the only part of the calculation. A quote also has to account for the size of the treatment area, the quality of the donor hair, the procedure being used and the amount of surgical time required.
The area being treated
Restoring a small section of the hairline or filling the temple points requires fewer grafts than treating the complete frontal area. When hair loss extends through the mid-scalp or into the crown, more grafts and surgical time are normally required.
Crown work is planned differently from a frontal hairline because the grafts must follow the direction of the natural whorl. If the hairline and crown both require treatment, the available donor hair has to be divided carefully between them.
Your donor hair
Donor density determines how many follicular units can be removed without leaving the back or sides of the scalp visibly depleted. Hair thickness, curl and colour contrast also affect the amount of coverage that can be created with a given number of grafts.
This is why photographs can support an initial estimate but cannot replace a proper donor-area assessment. The final plan must be based on the hair that can be removed safely, rather than the number of grafts a patient would simply like to have.
FUE, FUT and DHI
FUE, FUT and DHI involve different methods of harvesting, preparing and placing grafts. A small 500-graft FUE procedure is £1,999; 1,000 grafts are £2,999. FUT and DHI start from £3,999 because they involve different equipment, preparation and surgical time.
An unshaven or partially shaven procedure also takes longer than a fully shaven transplant. These procedures are generally limited to around 2,000 grafts in one session because each follicular unit has to be worked around the existing hair.
Large procedures and staged treatment
Extensive hair loss does not always need to be treated in a single operation. A larger case can be divided into separate stages so the donor area is protected and the areas that matter most are treated first.
The consultation is used to agree the treatment priorities, likely graft requirement and procedure before a written price is issued. You can also read our hair transplant donor-area guide for more information about donor assessment.
Hair Transplant Cost by Procedure
The procedure recommended will depend on your pattern of hair loss, donor hair and the area being treated. The starting prices below are followed by a full written quotation once your graft requirement has been assessed.
FUE hair transplant cost
FUE starts from £1,999 for 500 grafts; 1,000 grafts are £2,999. Individual follicular units are removed from the donor area using a small punch and placed into the planned recipient sites. This method does not leave a linear donor scar.
The price is based on the number of grafts required and the time needed to extract, prepare and place them. A procedure involving around 2,000 grafts will normally take a full surgical day.
FUT hair transplant cost
FUT starts from £3,999. A narrow strip of scalp is removed from the donor area before the follicular units are separated under magnification.
The price covers graft dissection, the clinical team, specialist equipment and closure of the donor area. FUT can be considered by patients who do not want the donor area shaved and by some patients with tightly curled or Afro-textured hair.
DHI hair transplant cost
DHI starts from £3,999. The extracted grafts are placed using a specialist implanter, giving the surgeon direct control over their depth, position and direction.
DHI generally takes longer than standard FUE and is normally used for smaller or medium-sized treatment areas where precise placement is required.
Beard transplant cost
A beard transplant starts from £2,999. Donor follicles are taken from the scalp and placed into the beard, moustache or sideburn area.
The number of grafts will depend on whether treatment is intended to fill a small patch, strengthen an existing beard or create wider coverage.
Eyebrow transplant cost
Eyebrow treatment may involve filling a small section or restoring one or both eyebrows. The quotation depends on the number of grafts, the donor method and the detail needed to follow the natural angle and direction of eyebrow growth.
Unshaven hair transplant cost
An unshaven or partially shaven transplant costs more than the equivalent fully shaven procedure because extraction and placement take longer. The maximum number of grafts is generally around 2,000 in one session.
What to check in your written quote
A useful quote sets out the proposed treatment and the amount you would pay. Before accepting it, confirm the points below. This is a comparison checklist, not a statement that every item is included in every package.
| Item | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Treatment plan | Procedure, treatment areas, estimated graft number and number of surgical sessions. |
| Assessment and surgery | Consultation, any tests, surgeon and team fees, theatre costs and anaesthetic. |
| Medication and products | Which postoperative medicines and aftercare products are supplied, their quantities and any separate charge. |
| Follow-up | The included appointments, support period, contact arrangements and charges for additional visits. |
| Additional treatment | Whether PRP or long-term hair-loss medication is part of the proposed plan, optional or separately priced. |
| Payment terms | Total price, deposit, balance date, cancellation or rescheduling terms, and what happens if the plan changes. |
If an answer is given by telephone, ask for it to be added to the written quote. Keep that version with your treatment plan. Allow separately for transport, any accommodation you choose and time away from work.
Compare the same treatment details
Put the graft estimate, target area, named surgeon, procedure location, aftercare and final total beside each other when comparing quotes. A larger graft number is not automatically a better plan. Ask why the proposed procedure suits your donor area and pattern of hair loss. Our FUE hair transplant guide for Manchester explains the procedure, recovery and suitability assessment.
Use patient photographs to discuss your goals
The patient results gallery can help you explain the area you want to discuss. Compare the starting pattern, treated area, graft count and timing of the later photograph. A five-month photograph and a twelve-month photograph show different stages. They do not determine another patient's graft requirement or outcome, and the examples are not fixed-price packages.
Check the surgeon and surgical premises
Ask the clinic for the treating provider’s registration details and complaints procedure. Check the named doctor’s registration and licence in the General Medical Council register.
