A beard transplant for Chatham patients costs a fixed £2,899, all-inclusive whatever the number of grafts, carried out in one day under local anaesthetic by GMC-registered surgeons at CQC-registered clinics. It thickens patchy growth or builds a new beard line using your own permanent hair, with 5☆ independently verified reviews and a free video consultation as the first step.
Beard Transplants for Chatham Patients 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 Chatham 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 Chatham
£2,899 is the complete price of a beard transplant for Chatham 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 Chatham?
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 |
How the Surgery Works
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
Most Chatham patients plan around a fortnight of visible healing: small scabs at each graft site that clear inside two weeks, then fading redness. Rather than describe that in the abstract, the photographs in this section show a real patient the day after surgery and again at two weeks, once the scabs have healed and dropped away. The transplanted hairs shed between weeks two and eight, which is an expected part of the cycle rather than a problem, and regrowth starts at around three months. Final density arrives between nine and twelve months.
You cannot shave the treated area for the first two weeks. Trimming is fine after that, and normal shaving usually resumes at about a month. Aftercare is included, with monthly check-ins to make sure your growth is on track, free 6 and 12 month follow-up consultations with your surgeon (video or in-person), and the clinic on hand if anything needs a closer look.

Clinic Locations and Travel From Chatham
Chatham to London St Pancras is around 40 minutes on Southeastern’s high-speed trains, and St Pancras is five minutes on foot from Euston, where the Overground’s Lioness line runs direct to Kenton, so the Harrow clinic is an easy half day from the Medway Towns; the classic line into Victoria is the slower alternative. The Manchester clinic on Deansgate carries the same CQC registration, and Chatham patients who prefer the north are welcome there. Chatham’s station sits in the cutting below the Great Lines, and the Javelin platforms are the same ones the Victoria trains use.
Whether home is Lordswood, Princes Park, Weeds Wood or the Davis Estate, in the dockyard town where Dickens spent his boyhood, fresh from a walk along the Great Lines, the obelisk of the Chatham Naval Memorial or a morning at Dockside Outlet, book a free consultation with our trichology team, in person or by video call, and receive a tailored beard plan for Chatham patients with the fixed £2,899 price confirmed in writing.

Chatham’s station sits below the Great Lines and the covered footbridge is the meeting point. St Pancras opens onto Euston Road, with Euston five minutes to the west, and the London Overground’s Lioness line leaves Euston for Watford Junction and stops at Kenton after about 25 minutes, a short walk from the Harrow clinic.

Medway to Manchester is a single change: the Javelin from Chatham to St Pancras, five minutes on foot along Euston Road to Euston, and Avanti West Coast direct to Manchester Piccadilly, three hours in all.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much is a beard transplant for someone in Chatham?
£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. Where would I go for my surgery from Chatham?
Surgery takes place at CQC-registered partner clinics in central Manchester and Harrow, north-west London, and for most Chatham patients London (Harrow) is the practical choice. It is a single day of surgery, so it is one travel day, and your consultation happens first, by video from home or in-person at the clinic if you prefer.
3. Where does the transplanted hair come from?
From the back and sides of your own scalp, extracted one follicular unit at a time. Hair from this area is a close match for beard hair in texture and growth.
4. How long does a beard transplant take to heal?
Scabbing clears in around two weeks, leaving slight redness that fades. The transplanted hairs shed between weeks two and eight, regrowth begins at around three months, and the final result settles between nine and twelve months.
5. 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.
6. Will the price change once the surgeon sees my beard?
No. £2,899 is the price for every beard transplant, agreed in writing before surgery, whatever graft count your plan turns out to need. There are no on-the-day additions.
7. Will a beard transplant leave scars?
FUE extraction leaves tiny dot marks in the donor area at the back of the scalp, which are hidden by surrounding hair at normal lengths. On the face itself the graft sites heal without visible scarring, which is why the transplanted area can be wet-shaved once healed.
