What Are Hair Transplants?
A hair transplant is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to regrow hair in thinning and balding areas – usually on the scalp, but you can get hair transplants for other areas, such as the beard or eyebrows.
During the procedure, the surgeon harvests hair follicles from shaved donor areas, such as the back or sides of the scalp, and proceeds to implant those same hair follicles in the recipient area. After the surgery, these donor hairs will slowly start to regrow hair in that area, leading to a full hairline once more. Each patient will need a specific number of hair grafts depending on the extent of hair loss, and generally, it takes around 12 months for full results to show through.
There are two main types of hair transplants: FUT (follicular unit transplantation) and FUE (follicular unit extraction). Here at Harley Street Hair Clinic, we specialise in FUE, as this involves extracting individual follicles for a more natural-looking hairline.

Hair Transplant Stories: Before & After
Our hair transplantation clinic has already helped multiple patients regain confidence through a full head of hair, and that includes patient Mark, who opted for a hair transplant at the age of 39.
Before the surgery
Mark was 39 when he decided to get a hair transplant. He was experiencing a prominent widow’s peak, with his hair receding near the temples.
During the surgery
Mark received 1879 grafts during his surgery here at Harley Street Hair Clinic. The process involved harvesting hair follicles from the back and sides of his scalp, which were then placed into the balding area for hairline restoration. All of this was done under local anaesthetic and completed within a day.
After the surgery
Hair transplants take around 12 months to show full results. We met up with Mark 15 months after the surgery to discuss results, and he was delighted, saying, “I’ve got a better hairline now than when I was 18. I don’t worry about my hair anymore, it just makes me smile.” Individual hair transplant results may vary.

The Harley Street Story
We have been providing advanced, patient-focused hair transplants since 2006. Our surgeons were pioneers of the FUE technique, with the hair replacement clinic becoming known for providing dependable, high-quality results that look genuinely natural. We are one of a kind as a hair transplant London clinic, as we only focus on the FUE method, the most meticulous and natural option for all patients.
Over the years, our hair transplant clinic has transformed the lives of multiple patients by giving them the confidence of a full head of hair, and our Trustpilot reviews only back this up. With an overall rating of 4.6/5, it’s clear our patients are satisfied with our approach. One Trustpilot user and Harley Street Hair Clinic patient, Paul Spelling, wrote:
“From the moment I arrived at the clinic for my first consultation, right up to surgery, the care and attention I received was 5 star. I was made as comfortable as possible at all times and was kept informed at every stage of the process. I would 100% recommend this clinic.”
Harley Street Hair Clinic has also won awards for the exceptional hairline transplants our surgeons provide, including winning Best Hair Transplant Clinic in the UK from Prestige Awards in 2024 – which we were delighted to accept!
Hair Loss Treatments at the Harley Street Hair Clinic
At Harley Street Hair Clinic, we don’t just specialise in hair implants. We are committed to helping patients restore their hairline by using the most appropriate method, which may or may not be a hair restoration surgery.
As well as helping with receding hairlines and hair loss on the scalp, our treatments also include beard and eyebrow transplants. These processes are similar to regular hair transplants, only the grafted hairs are meticulously implanted into the beard or eyebrow area to create natural-looking hair growth.
We also offer advanced trichopigmentation, which involves using pigmentation to create small dots that look like hair follicles on the scalp. This can be used to cover scars (as a type of hair scar repair treatment) or to simply hide balding and thinning areas of the scalp.
Life Long and Life Altering Procedures
Our doctors are specialists in the latest FUE hair transplant techniques, delivering natural, lasting results. At the Harley Street Hair Clinic, we’re redefining how people view hair restoration — helping both men and women see it as a confident, life-enhancing choice.
The Process of Getting a Hair Transplant
We make the process of getting a hair transplant as safe and straightforward as possible.
It always begins with a consultation with one of our surgeons. During this consultation, you will be walked through the entire process, and we will take on board your unique circumstances, including the extent of your hair loss and any additional medical care you need. If we don’t think it’s right for you, we will be honest about that and offer suggestions for alternatives.
If both you and the hair transplantation surgeon are happy for the procedure to go ahead, we will book you in. The process will involve examining your scalp to see the number of grafts you need. On the day of the surgery, you will be under local anaesthetic for your comfort, so you won’t feel a thing but will be able to stay awake for the minimally invasive procedure.
After the hair transplant, we provide outstanding aftercare, including follow-up consultations. You can expect to see hair growth within the first 3 months, but full results show through after 12 months.

Frequently asked questions

Survival rates are generally high when procedures are performed by experienced surgeons. However, outcomes will vary between patients. The success rate increases if you choose an advanced and specialist clinic like Harley Street Hair Clinic, where we have fully qualified surgeons who have extensive experience delivering successful results.
A hair transplant works by taking healthy hair follicles from one area of the scalp and implanting them into the recipient area. Once the hair follicles are implanted, they can act like healthy hair follicles again by growing new hair. When this happens, the previous hair loss and thinning disappear as new hairs grow through.
FUE is a very low-risk and minimally invasive surgery, but it is important to be aware of some of the potential side effects and risks. While the risk of any major complications is very low, there are some possible minor side effects, such as bleeding, scarring, swelling, and the formation of small cysts. As hair transplants are performed under local anaesthetic, there are also risks associated with that (although this is much less than if a patient were placed under general anaesthetic).
Hair transplants are a long-term solution when delivered with proper care. Some transplants may last forever but that depends on the individual patient. When the hair follicles are implanted, they can stay there and grow healthy hair for the long-term. It’s important to be aware, though, that certain factors can influence the longevity of a hair transplant, with some patients still experiencing hair loss down the line. Some things that may affect the long-term success of the hair transplant include the surgeon’s skill, donor hair quality, post-surgical care, the age of the patient, and the progression of hair loss. There are also lifestyle factors that influence it, such as drinking alcohol, smoking, and being under a lot of stress.
While a hair transplant is a low-risk surgery, there are some risks to be aware of. These include experiencing an allergic reaction to anaesthesia, swelling, pain, and unsatisfactory results. In more severe cases, risks include infection and excessive bleeding. Choosing a high-quality clinic with a team of expert surgeons helps minimise these risks.
Most people find that FUE is the best method, as this results in minimal scarring. However, there are some cases in which FUT makes more sense for patients. For example, patients with very significant hair loss, high-density hair, and who require a very high number of grafts may be better with FUT.
Always learn as much as you can about your surgeon before choosing them to do your surgery. Before the surgery, ask about their qualifications and medical experience, including whether they are GMC registered. Ask them specifically about their experience with hair transplant surgery, such as how many transplants they have performed themselves, whether they have ever experienced complications, and what their patient satisfaction rates are. You should then ask questions more specific to your surgery, such as what hair restoration option they would recommend to you and what might happen if complications occur during your surgery.
