A beard transplant thickens patchy areas or shapes a new beard line using your own permanent hair. For Dartford 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 Dartford 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 Dartford 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 Dartford
The price for Dartford 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 Dartford?
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
A beard transplant is a one-day procedure under local anaesthetic: design first, extraction second, placement third, home the same evening. The design is drawn on your face and agreed with you before surgery begins, because in beard work the outline is everything, and single-hair grafts are used along the edges so the result reads as grown rather than drawn on.
Beard hair also reads as full at a lower density than scalp work, around 25 to 40 grafts per square centimetre against the 40 a scalp hairline needs, which is why graft numbers that sound modest go a long way on the face. The safe ceiling is 3,500 grafts in a day, and even full beard construction sits comfortably inside a single day for most patients.
How Many Grafts Does a Beard Transplant Take?
The usual graft requirements area by area:
| 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 |
Beard Transplant Recovery Timeline
Most Dartford 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.

Getting to the Clinics From Dartford
Dartford to London Charing Cross is around 35 minutes on Southeastern, and Charing Cross sits on the Bakerloo line, so the Harrow clinic is one train and one Underground ride from the town where the Rolling Stones began on Platform 2. The Manchester clinic on Deansgate carries the same CQC registration, and Dartford patients who prefer the north are welcome there. Dartford is the only town in the estate that sits on the M25 itself, so the drive to Harrow is motorway almost all the way.
Whether home is Temple Hill, Joyce Green, Stone or Greenhithe, in the town that gives its name to the Crossing, fresh from Dartford Borough Museum, the Becket chapel at Holy Trinity Church on the High Street or a morning at Buccaneer Bay in Central Park, book a free consultation with our trichology team, in person or by video call, and receive a tailored beard plan for Dartford patients with the fixed £2,899 price confirmed in writing.
From Dartford to My Hair UK London (Harrow) Clinic
By Train
Southeastern runs from Dartford to London Charing Cross and Cannon Street several times an hour, around 35 minutes via Greenwich or Bexleyheath and London Bridge. Charing Cross is on the Bakerloo line, so it is one Underground train north to Kenton and a five-minute walk to the Harrow clinic.
By Car
Driving from Dartford takes around 55 minutes. Dartford drivers pay the Dart Charge and cross the river on the A282, which becomes the M25 again at Junction 30 on the Essex side; from there it is anti-clockwise through Brentwood, Enfield and Potters Bar to Junction 19 by Hunton Bridge, where the A41 leads down towards Stanmore and the A409 into Harrow, the end of the drive from Dartford.
From Dartford to My Hair UK Manchester Clinic
By Train
Dartford to Manchester is one change: Southeastern into Charing Cross, four stops on the Northern line to Euston and Avanti West Coast direct to Manchester Piccadilly, about three hours in all. Deansgate is five minutes from Piccadilly on foot, down Mosley Street and past the town hall, and that is the whole journey from Dartford done.

Over the crossing and anti-clockwise to Junction 21, then the M1 north for a hundred miles past Luton, Northampton and Leicester until it turns into the M6 at Catthorpe; stay on the M6 through Staffordshire and Cheshire, swap onto the M62 at Junction 21A, and the M60 and the M602 bring you into Salford, where Regent Road brings Dartford drivers onto Deansgate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What does a beard transplant cost for Dartford 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. Do I need to travel from Dartford 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. Is my own hair used for the beard transplant?
Yes, always. Follicular units are extracted individually from the donor area at the back and sides of your scalp and placed into the beard. Nothing artificial is used, which is why the result grows, sheds and greys like the rest of your beard.
4. Does a beard transplant look natural?
The angle and the outline decide it. Grafts are placed flat to the skin in the direction beard hair grows, single-hair grafts are used along the edges, and the design is drawn on your face and agreed with you before anything is placed.
5. Can I have a consultation without travelling from Dartford?
Yes. Consultations are free and usually held by video from home, with an in-person consultation at the clinic available if you prefer. You send a few photographs of your beard first, the surgical team assesses them, and the surgeon then talks through your plan and the fixed price on the call. You only travel for the surgery itself.
6. Is the £2,899 really the full price?
Yes. It includes the surgeon and surgical team, local anaesthetic, all clinic fees, aftercare products and follow-up reviews. It is agreed before surgery and does not change with the number of grafts.
7. Does the fixed price cover aftercare?
Yes. Aftercare products are provided as part of the £2,899, and the monthly check-ins and free 6 and 12 month follow-up consultations with your surgeon are included rather than billed separately.
