A beard transplant thickens patchy areas or shapes a new beard line using your own permanent hair. For Kent 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 Kent with My Hair UK
A beard transplant is an FUE hair transplant applied to the face. Follicular units are taken one at a time from the donor area at the back and sides of your scalp, where hair is permanent, and placed into the cheeks, jawline, moustache or chin. Once healed they grow as beard hair: you shave it, trim it and style it like the rest. The full procedure is covered on our beard transplant page.
Most of the Kent patients we hear from want thickening work rather than a beard built from nothing. Patchy cheeks, a gap between the moustache and the chin, thin sideburns or an uneven jawline are the typical cases. Patchiness is usually genetic, so it does not respond to waiting, and a transplant is the only treatment that adds permanent hair where there is none.
Your consultation happens either by video from home, or in-person with the surgeon who would carry out your procedure if you'd prefer to travel to the clinic (directions below). It is free, and you get an honest answer on whether a transplant is worth it in your case, including when it is not, along with your graft plan and the fixed price confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
Beard Transplant Cost in Kent
A beard transplant costs £2,899 for Kent patients. That is a single fixed price whatever the number of grafts, agreed before surgery, and it does not move on the day. It covers the surgeon's time, the anaesthetic, all clinic fees, aftercare products and your follow-up reviews. There is nothing to add and nothing to negotiate.
Most UK clinics price beard work per graft, which means the bill depends on a number you cannot check yourself. A fixed fee removes that conversation entirely: whether your plan needs 600 grafts around the chin or 2,500 for full construction, the price is the same £2,899. The full breakdown is on our beard transplant cost page.
How Much Does a Beard Transplant Cost in Kent?
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 |
Healing, Shaving and Results
Most Kent 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 Kent
For Kent patients the London (Harrow) clinic is the practical choice, and the high-speed line does most of the work: Chatham reaches St Pancras in around 40 minutes and Canterbury West in around 55, while Maidstone East runs direct to Victoria in around an hour. The Manchester clinic is equally CQC-registered if it suits you better.
Whether you set out from Maidstone, Canterbury, Chatham or Ashford, past Canterbury Cathedral, Leeds Castle or The Historic Dockyard Chatham, book a free consultation with our trichology team, in person or by video call, and receive a tailored beard plan with the fixed £2,899 price confirmed in writing.
From Kent to My Hair UK London (Harrow) Clinic
By Train
Southeastern's high-speed services reach London St Pancras in around 40 minutes from Chatham and 55 minutes from Canterbury West, and Maidstone East runs direct to Victoria in around 1 hour. St Pancras is a short walk from Euston, where the Bakerloo line runs north directly to Kenton, and the clinic is a five-minute walk from Kenton. From Victoria instead, take the Victoria line north to Oxford Circus and change onto the Bakerloo for Kenton.
By Car
Driving takes around 1 hour 20 minutes from Medway or Maidstone: the M2 or M20 west to the M25, anti-clockwise to Junction 19, then the A41 and A409 into Harrow and Kenton Lane. Canterbury sits further out at closer to 1 hour 45 minutes, and the high-speed train is usually the easier option from there.
From Kent to My Hair UK Manchester Clinic
By Train
Most patients cross London to Euston for the direct Avanti West Coast service, which reaches Manchester Piccadilly in around 2 hours 10 minutes. St Pancras is next door to Euston, which makes the change straightforward. Allow around 3 hours 20 minutes door to door. The Deansgate clinic is a five-minute walk via Mosley Street and Princess Street.
By Car
By car allow around 4 hours: the M2 or M20 to the M25, round to Junction 21 for the M1, then the M6 north past Birmingham, the M56 towards Manchester and the M602 into Salford with Regent Road leading to Deansgate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much is a beard transplant for someone in Kent?
£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 Kent?
Surgery takes place at CQC-registered partner clinics in central Manchester and Harrow, north-west London, and for most Kent 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. 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. 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 is the best age for a beard transplant?
Whenever your growth pattern has stabilised, which is typically from the mid twenties onwards. Our guide to the best age for a beard transplant covers how to judge it, and the free assessment gives you a straight answer for your own case.
6. 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.
7. How does aftercare work for Kent patients?
You leave the clinic with aftercare products and clear instructions, then we check in with you monthly to make sure your growth is progressing, and you have free follow-up consultations with your surgeon at 6 and 12 months, by video or in-person. If anything needs a closer look sooner, the clinic is available.
