Who it is suitable for

Suitability depends on the cause and pattern of hair loss, donor availability and expectations. Assessment is especially important because female hair loss can be more diffuse than male pattern hair loss.

The procedure

FUE removes individual follicular units, while FUT uses a narrow donor strip. The right method depends on the patient, the donor area and the planned result.

Recovery timeline

A recovery period of around two weeks is commonly advised, with more visible growth developing over several months. Heat styling and hair products should be reintroduced cautiously after early healing.

Risks and limitations

Hair loss causes should be understood before surgery. Results develop gradually and vary by patient; visible regrowth may begin after a few months, with fuller results often developing between 6 and 12 months.

Questions about this treatment

How much does a hair transplant cost?

The cost varies from patient to patient and normally needs a consultation. It depends on whether treatment is appropriate, the extent of thinning, the area that needs treatment and the most suitable method. Finance options may be available subject to status.

Clinically reviewed: Review before public launch.

Is a hair transplant painful?

A hair transplant should not be painful once local anaesthetic has taken effect. The first few injections can be uncomfortable, but after that most patients mainly feel pressure rather than pain.

When will I see results after a hair transplant?

Early growth often begins at around 3 to 4 months. Thickness and fullness continue to develop gradually, with final results commonly seen between 12 and 18 months.

What is the difference between FUE and FUT?

FUE removes individual follicles one at a time. FUT removes a narrow donor strip that is then dissected into follicular units. Both can produce strong results, but the harvesting method and scarring pattern are different.

Will a hair transplant leave scars?

Any surgical procedure that breaks the skin can leave scarring. FUE usually leaves small dot-like marks, while FUT leaves a fine linear scar in the donor area.
