A beard transplant thickens patchy areas or shapes a new beard line using your own permanent hair. For Brighton 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.
Beard Transplant Surgery in Brighton with My Hair UK
A patchy or incomplete beard is one of the few cosmetic problems with a genuinely permanent fix. A beard transplant moves follicular units, one at a time, from the donor area at the back and sides of your scalp into the areas of your beard that need them. Donor hair is not affected by balding, so once the transplanted hairs grow in they are yours for good: shaved, trimmed and styled like the rest. The surgery is explained fully on our beard restoration and transplant page.
For Brighton patients the practical shape of it is one free consultation, by video from home or in-person at the clinic, then a single day of surgery, because even full beard construction fits within one session. Everything is settled beforehand: the design, the graft plan and the fixed £2,899 price, all agreed with the surgeon before the day itself.
Whether you are a good candidate depends on your growth pattern and what you want to achieve. Patchy cheeks, thin sideburns and gaps around the chin respond well. If your patchiness appeared suddenly as smooth round spots, that can be alopecia barbae, which needs a diagnosis rather than a transplant, and the surgeon will tell you so plainly at consultation.
Beard Transplant Cost in Brighton
£2,899 is the complete price of a beard transplant for Brighton patients: one fixed, all-inclusive fee agreed in writing before surgery, whatever the number of grafts placed on the day. UK beard work is widely quoted anywhere from £3,000 to £7,000 depending on graft count, so a fixed fee at this level is deliberately competitive, and it means a bigger plan never carries a penalty.
The fee covers everything attached to the day itself: the surgeon and surgical team, anaesthetic, clinic facilities, aftercare products and your follow-up reviews. What the price includes and how it compares is set out in full on our beard transplant cost page.
How Much Does a Beard Transplant Cost in Brighton?
Whatever combination of areas your plan covers, the price is the same:
| 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
The procedure runs in a single day under local anaesthetic. You are awake throughout, and most patients find the numbing injections the only uncomfortable part. Grafts are extracted individually from the donor area of the scalp, then placed one at a time at the flat angle beard hair naturally grows, following a design agreed with you before surgery starts.
The design stage matters more in beard work than anywhere else, because every line is on show. Before anything is placed, the surgeon draws the cheek line, jawline, neckline and moustache join directly onto your face and agrees it with you. Single-hair grafts go along the outlines, where the eye is most sensitive, so the edges look grown rather than drawn. You go home the same day.
How Many Grafts Does a Beard Transplant Take?
Typical graft counts by area, matching both the published literature and what the surgeons see in practice:
| 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 |
Recovery, and When You Can Shave
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 Brighton
Brighton runs direct to two London termini, which makes the Harrow clinic a straightforward day: Thameslink reaches St Pancras in around an hour and a quarter, and Southern reaches Victoria in around an hour. The station’s curved glass-and-iron roof, Grade II* listed, is a five-minute walk up from the North Laine. The Manchester clinic on Deansgate carries the same CQC registration, and Brighton patients who prefer the north are welcome there.
Whether home is Hanover, Preston Circus, Withdean or Woodingdean, a Seagull at the Amex, fresh from the domes of the Royal Pavilion, the view from the i360 or a walk on Devil’s Dyke, book a free consultation with our trichology team, in person or by video call, and receive a tailored beard plan for Brighton patients with the fixed £2,899 price confirmed in writing.
From Brighton to My Hair UK London (Harrow) Clinic
By Train
Thameslink runs direct from Brighton to London St Pancras International in around 1 hour 15 minutes by way of Gatwick and London Bridge. St Pancras and Euston are a five-minute walk apart on Euston Road, and the Lioness line, London Overground, runs from Euston straight through to Kenton in roughly 25 minutes, a short walk from the Harrow clinic. Southern’s Victoria services are the alternative, with the Victoria line to Oxford Circus and a change onto the Bakerloo.
By Car
Driving from Brighton takes around 1 hour 45 minutes: the A23 north, which becomes the M23 at Pease Pottage, Junction 11, then the M25 at Junction 7 and clockwise round the west of London to Junction 16, where the A40 and A409 lead into Harrow and Kenton Lane.
From Brighton to My Hair UK Manchester Clinic
By Train
There is no direct train from Brighton to Manchester; the simplest route is Thameslink to St Pancras, the short walk to Euston, and Avanti West Coast direct to Manchester Piccadilly, around four hours in all. Allow fifteen to twenty minutes from Piccadilly to the top of Deansgate on foot, or take the tram to Victoria and walk the five minutes from there.
By Car
By car from Brighton allow around 4 hours 30 minutes: the M23 to the M25, round to Junction 21 for the M1, north past Luton and Leicester to the M6, then the M62 onto the M60 and the M602 into Salford, where Regent Road brings Brighton drivers onto Deansgate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much is a beard transplant for someone in Brighton?
£2,899, one fixed all-inclusive fee regardless of graft count. Whether your plan needs 600 grafts or 2,500, the price is the same, and it is confirmed before surgery so nothing changes on the day.
2. Do I need to travel from Brighton for a beard transplant?
Yes, once. Surgery is a single day at a CQC-registered partner clinic in central Manchester or Harrow, north-west London, whichever suits you better. The consultation is free, by video from home or in-person at the clinic if you prefer, and follow-up runs by video unless you would rather come in, so the only required travel is the day of surgery itself.
3. When will I see the final result of a beard transplant?
Between nine and twelve months. The healing itself is quick, with scabs clearing inside two weeks, but the transplanted hairs shed and regrow as part of the normal cycle, so the beard fills in gradually from month three.
4. Can you transplant into alopecia areata in the beard?
No responsible surgeon transplants into active alopecia barbae, because the same process can attack the transplanted follicles. If your patches appeared suddenly as smooth round spots, get a diagnosis first. Stable genetic patchiness, by contrast, is the standard beard transplant case.
5. What does the price include?
Everything attached to the procedure: the surgeon and surgical team, local anaesthetic, clinic facilities, aftercare products and your follow-up reviews. There are no extras added on the day.
6. Should I go to Turkey instead for a beard transplant?
Turkey is cheaper, and for some people that decides it. What you give up is straightforward: UK regulation, a surgeon you can be called back to see, and aftercare that does not involve an airport. At £2,899 fixed, the gap is also far smaller for beard work than most patients assume.
7. Is there an age requirement for a beard transplant?
You need to be over 18, but the real question is whether your beard pattern has settled, which for most men is by the mid twenties. Transplanting into a pattern that is still changing risks a result that stops matching the beard around it, and the surgeon will advise honestly on timing.
