A beard transplant thickens patchy areas or shapes a new beard line using your own permanent hair. For Aberdeen patients the price is a fixed £2,899, 5☆ rated and all-inclusive with no hidden extras, delivered in a single day by GMC-registered surgeons at CQC-registered clinics. A few photographs and a free video consultation are enough for a clear plan and an honest answer on suitability.
A Beard Transplant for Aberdeen Patients with My Hair UK
For Aberdeen patients the process is built to be simple: a free consultation with the surgeon who would carry out your procedure, by video from home or in-person at the clinic, then a plan and fixed price agreed in writing, and the surgery itself completed in a single day under local anaesthetic. Nothing is committed until you have seen exactly what your beard needs and what it costs.
The procedure is FUE applied to the face: individual follicular units are moved from the permanent donor area at the back and sides of your scalp into the cheeks, jawline, moustache or chin. The transplanted hair behaves like beard hair from then on, and it lasts, because donor hair keeps its permanence wherever it is placed. Our beard restoration guide covers the surgery itself in more depth.
The typical case is not a full beard from nothing. It is patchy cheeks, thin sideburns, a moustache that does not join the chin, or gaps that make a beard look untidy at every length. Genetic patchiness does not fill in on its own, and our guide to fixing a patchy beard explains why the non-surgical options rarely close the gap.
Beard Transplant Cost in Aberdeen
The price for Aberdeen patients is £2,899, fixed before surgery and unchanged by the graft count. Per-graft pricing is the industry norm, and it is why quotes elsewhere often arrive as a range that only settles once you are committed. We think that is the wrong way round. The number of grafts you need is a clinical decision, so it should not be a billing lever, and with a fixed fee the surgeon plans your beard around the best result rather than a price band.
The £2,899 is all-inclusive: surgery, local anaesthetic, clinic fees, aftercare pack and follow-up reviews. How that compares across the UK market, and why the price does not scale with grafts, is covered on our beard transplant cost page.
How Much Does a Beard Transplant Cost in Aberdeen?
Typical graft counts by area, with the fixed price alongside:
| Area | Typical Grafts | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Moustache | 400-500 | £2,899 |
| Sideburns | 200-300 each side | £2,899 |
| Goatee and chin | 600-700 | £2,899 |
| Cheeks | 300-600 each side | £2,899 |
| Full beard | 2,000-2,500 | £2,899 |
The Procedure, Start to Finish
On the day itself you are at the clinic for several hours, awake, under local anaesthetic. The surgeon first draws the design on your face and agrees every line with you: the cheek line, the jawline and neckline, how the moustache joins the chin, and how new growth blends into any beard you already have. Nothing is placed until you are happy with those lines.
Grafts are then extracted one follicular unit at a time from the back and sides of your scalp, where hair is a close match for beard hair and keeps its permanence. Each graft is placed flat to the skin in the direction beard hair grows, with single-hair grafts along the visible edges. It is one day of surgery, and you go home the same evening.
How Many Grafts Does a Beard Transplant Take?
As a guide, these are the graft ranges each beard area usually needs:
| Area | Typical Grafts |
|---|---|
| Sideburns | 200-300 each side |
| Moustache | 400-500 |
| Goatee and chin | 600-700 |
| Cheeks | 300-600 each side |
| Full beard | 2,000-2,500 |
Healing, Shaving and Results
Recovery is quicker than most patients expect. For the first few days the treated area shows a small scab at each graft with some redness, and the scabs lift over the first two weeks. The patient photographs in this section show it honestly: fine dotted scabbing the day after surgery, then the same beard at two weeks with the scabs cleared and only slight redness remaining. Do not shave the transplanted area for the first two weeks; after that it can be trimmed, and normal shaving usually resumes from around a month once the grafts are secure.
Between roughly week two and week eight the transplanted hairs shed. This is normal and it is not the grafts failing: the follicles stay in place, new growth starts at around three months, and the beard reaches its final density between nine and twelve months. We keep in touch through the regrowth period with regular monthly check-ins, and you have free follow-up consultations with your surgeon at 6 and 12 months, by video or in-person.

Travelling From Aberdeen
Aberdeen is the furthest of our patient cities from either clinic, and the Manchester clinic is the shorter day: change at Edinburgh Waverley for a CrossCountry or TransPennine Express train to Manchester Piccadilly, around 5 hours 30 minutes in all. The London (Harrow) clinic holds the same CQC registration for Aberdeen patients, with LNER direct to Kings Cross or the Caledonian Sleeper overnight to Euston. Either way the surgery itself is a single visit.
Whether home is Woodside, Kingswells, Danestone or Old Aberdeen, in the Granite City that sparkles after rain, fresh from the beach at Codona’s, the Gordon Highlanders Museum on Viewfield Road or a morning at Aberdeen Science Centre, book a free consultation with our trichology team, in person or by video call, and receive a tailored beard plan for Aberdeen patients with the fixed £2,899 price confirmed in writing.
From Aberdeen to My Hair UK Manchester Clinic
By Train
ScotRail and LNER run from Aberdeen to Edinburgh Waverley in around 2 hours 20 minutes, where CrossCountry and TransPennine Express continue direct to Manchester Piccadilly in a little over three hours. Aberdeen’s station sits inside the Union Square complex on Guild Street, so leave through the mall rather than looking for a station forecourt. From Piccadilly the quickest way to the top of Deansgate is a tram to Victoria and a five-minute walk past the cathedral; on foot it is a mile and about twenty minutes, and that is the whole journey from Aberdeen done.
By Car
Driving from Aberdeen takes around 6 hours: the A90 and the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route south to Dundee and Perth, the M90 to Edinburgh and the city bypass, the M8 and M73 to the Maryville interchange for the M74, then the M6 south through Cumbria to Junction 30 for the M61, the M60 and the M602 into Salford, where Regent Road brings Aberdeen drivers onto Deansgate.
From Aberdeen to My Hair UK London (Harrow) Clinic
By Train
LNER runs direct from Aberdeen to London Kings Cross in around seven hours along the east coast, and the Caledonian Sleeper leaves in the evening to arrive at Euston before breakfast. From Euston the Overground’s Lioness line runs direct to Kenton in around 25 minutes, a five-minute walk from the Harrow clinic; from Kings Cross, Euston is a few minutes’ walk along Euston Road.
By Car
By car from Aberdeen allow around 9 hours: the same road south to the M74 and the M6, the M6 the length of England to the Catthorpe Interchange, the M1 to Junction 5 at Watford, then the A41 past Stanmore and the A409 into Kenton, the end of the drive from Aberdeen.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What does a beard transplant cost for Aberdeen patients?
The price is £2,899, fixed and all-inclusive, however many grafts your plan needs. It covers the surgery, anaesthetic, clinic fees, aftercare products and follow-up reviews, and it is agreed in writing before surgery.
2. Is there a beard transplant clinic in Aberdeen?
Surgery for Aberdeen patients is carried out at CQC-registered clinics in central Manchester and Harrow, north-west London, rather than in Aberdeen itself. Because the procedure is completed in a single day, most patients treat it as one travel day, and everything before and after surgery can be handled by video from home, with the free consultation also available in-person at the clinic if you prefer.
3. Am I suitable for a beard transplant?
Most men with settled growth patterns and a healthy donor area are. Patchy cheeks, thin sideburns and gaps around the chin respond particularly well. The honest answer for your own case comes from the free photographic assessment, and the surgeons do say no when a transplant is not worthwhile.
4. How do I know if my patchy beard is alopecia barbae?
The pattern is the clue: alopecia barbae typically shows as smooth, round patches that appeared relatively suddenly, while genetic patchiness has usually been there since your beard first came in. The surgical team screens for this at the photo assessment stage.
5. Are there any hidden costs with a beard transplant?
Not here. The £2,899 covers surgery, anaesthetic, clinic fees, aftercare products and follow-up reviews, and it is agreed in writing before surgery. The only cost on top is your own travel to the clinic.
6. How does the UK compare with Turkey for beard transplants?
The honest comparison is price against accountability. Turkish packages usually cost less, but follow-up happens by messaging app, and any complication is a long way from the clinic that caused it. A UK procedure at a fixed £2,899 keeps your surgeon, your records and your aftercare in the same country as you.
7. Can a beard transplant thicken an existing beard?
Yes. Thickening existing growth is the bulk of beard transplant work: adding density to thin cheeks, closing the moustache-to-chin join, or evening up a jawline. The grafts are placed to follow your existing pattern so the result reads as one beard, not two.
