A beard transplant thickens patchy areas or shapes a new beard line using your own permanent hair. For Derby 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 Derby with My Hair UK
For Derby 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 Derby
£2,899 is the complete price of a beard transplant for Derby 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 Derby?
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 |
Beard Transplant Recovery Timeline
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 Derby
Derby to Manchester Piccadilly is around 1 hour 45 minutes with a change at Sheffield, so the Manchester clinic is the usual choice from the home of the Midland Railway; the London (Harrow) clinic is equally CQC-registered, with East Midlands Railway reaching St Pancras in about 1 hour 30 minutes if the capital suits you better. Rolls-Royce has built engines in the city since 1908, and the station area is still the Midland to anyone who grew up here.
Whether home is Spondon, Chaddesden, Sinfin or Alvaston, a Ram from the city that built the Merlin engine, fresh from the world’s first factory at the Museum of Making, the tower of Derby Cathedral or a film at QUAD on the Market Place, book a free consultation with our trichology team, in person or by video call, and receive a tailored beard plan for Derby patients with the fixed £2,899 price confirmed in writing.
From Derby to My Hair UK Manchester Clinic
By Train
East Midlands Railway and CrossCountry cover Derby to Sheffield in around 30 minutes; at Sheffield cross the platform for TransPennine Express or a Hope Valley stopping train, which reach Manchester Piccadilly in about an hour through Edale. The 1839 station on Midland Road was once shared by three railway companies. The clinic is at the top of Deansgate by the cathedral, a mile from Piccadilly: allow fifteen to twenty minutes on foot, or ride the tram to Victoria and walk the last five.

Driving from Derby takes around 1 hour 45 minutes. Follow the A38 to the A50 and run west past Uttoxeter to Stoke, where the A50 meets the M6 at Junction 15; head north on the M6 and leave at Junction 19 onto the A556, which feeds the M56 and the M60 round to Junction 12 and the M602 into Salford, where Regent Road brings Derby drivers onto Deansgate. The A6 through Matlock and Buxton is the scenic alternative on a summer morning.
From Derby to My Hair UK London (Harrow) Clinic
By Train
East Midlands Railway runs direct from Derby to London St Pancras International twice an hour, taking around 1 hour 30 minutes via Leicester and Bedford.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much does a beard transplant cost in Derby?
£2,899 for Derby patients, as a single fixed price whatever the number of grafts, up to the 3,500 that can safely be placed in one day. The price is agreed before surgery and nothing is added on the day.
2. Is there a beard transplant clinic in Derby?
Surgery for Derby patients is carried out at CQC-registered clinics in central Manchester and Harrow, north-west London, rather than in Derby 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. How many grafts does a beard transplant take?
Typically 200 to 300 per sideburn, 400 to 500 for a moustache, 600 to 700 for the goatee and chin, and 300 to 600 per cheek. Full beard construction is usually 2,000 to 2,500 grafts, which fits within a single day of surgery.
4. Can I have a consultation without travelling from Derby?
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.
5. Is a beard transplant really done in one day?
Yes. Design, extraction and placement all happen in one visit under local anaesthetic, even for full beard construction, and you go home the same day. That is why one travel day covers it for Derby patients.
6. 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.
7. I already have some beard. Can a transplant just fill the gaps?
Yes, and that is the most common request. The new grafts are blended into your existing growth, matching its angle and direction, so the filled areas are indistinguishable once grown in. The design stage maps exactly where density is added.
