A beard transplant for Maidstone 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 Maidstone Patients 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 Maidstone 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 Maidstone
The price for Maidstone 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 Maidstone?
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 a Beard Transplant Works
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?
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
The healing pattern is predictable. Fine dotted scabbing for the first week or two, mild redness that fades over the following weeks, and a shedding phase between weeks two and eight when the transplanted hairs fall out while the follicles stay put. The two patient photographs here show the difference a fortnight makes: small scabs at each graft the day after surgery, then clear skin with mild redness once they have dropped off at two weeks. New growth begins around month three and the final result settles between nine and twelve months.
The shaving rules are simple: nothing for two weeks, trimming after that, and a normal wet shave from around a month once the grafts are secure. Aftercare products are included in the price, and we have regular monthly check-ins with you to ensure your growth is progressing and offer free 6 & 12 month follow up consultations with your surgeon either by video or in-person.

Getting to the Clinics From Maidstone
Maidstone East to London Victoria is around an hour on Southeastern, which makes the Harrow clinic a comfortable half day from Kent’s county town; make sure it is Maidstone East you book, not Maidstone West on the Medway line a mile away. The Manchester clinic on Deansgate carries the same CQC registration, and Maidstone patients who prefer the north are welcome there.
Whether home is Loose, Barming, Shepway or Tovil, on either bank of the Medway, fresh from Chillington Manor and Maidstone Museum on St Faith’s Street, the arboretum at Cobtree Manor Park or a riverside walk through Whatman Park, book a free consultation with our trichology team, in person or by video call, and receive a tailored beard plan for Maidstone patients with the fixed £2,899 price confirmed in writing.
From Maidstone to My Hair UK London (Harrow) Clinic
By Train
Southeastern runs from Maidstone East to London Victoria roughly every half hour, taking around an hour by way of Otford and Bromley South. At Victoria take the Victoria line two stops to Oxford Circus and change onto the Bakerloo line north to Kenton, where the Harrow clinic is a short walk from the station, the last leg of the journey from Maidstone. Maidstone has two stations facing each other across the Medway, and it is Maidstone East, not Maidstone West, that has the direct Victoria trains.
By Car
Driving from Maidstone takes around 1 hour 45 minutes: the A229 to the M20 at Junction 6, the M20 north-west to the M25 at Swanley, then the M25 clockwise round the south and west of London to Junction 16, where the A40 and the A409 lead into Harrow.
From Maidstone to My Hair UK Manchester Clinic
By Train
There is no through train from Kent to Manchester: Southeastern into Victoria, the Victoria line to Euston, then Avanti West Coast direct to Manchester Piccadilly makes around four hours in all. Deansgate is a five-minute walk from Piccadilly’s main entrance, and that is the whole journey from Maidstone done.
By Car
By car from Maidstone allow around 4 hours 30 minutes: the M20 to the M25, anti-clockwise over the Dartford Crossing to Junction 21 for the M1, the M1 north to the Catthorpe Interchange, the M6 to Junction 21A for the M62, then the M60 and the M602 into Salford, where Regent Road brings Maidstone drivers onto Deansgate.
Local GPs
A quick word with your GP in Maidstone before elective surgery is worthwhile, because some conditions and medications affect healing and the surgeon will go through them at consultation. Maidstone is the county town, so a Maidstone patient’s record may sit with a practice that also serves the villages; any of them can print a summary. Three NHS practices in Maidstone:

Address: Wallis Avenue, Maidstone ME15 9JJ

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What does a beard transplant cost for Maidstone 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. Where would I go for my surgery from Maidstone?
Surgery takes place at CQC-registered partner clinics in central Manchester and Harrow, north-west London, and for most Maidstone 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. What hair is used for a beard transplant?
Your own scalp hair, taken from the permanent donor area at the back and sides of the head. It matches beard hair closely in texture, and it keeps its permanence once moved to the face.
4. What graft numbers are typical for beard work?
Ranges run from 200 to 300 for a sideburn up to 2,000 to 2,500 for full beard construction, with the moustache, chin and cheeks in between. Your exact number is set at consultation, and because the price is fixed it changes nothing about the cost.
5. Can I have a consultation without travelling from Maidstone?
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. 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.
7. What if my beard gaps appeared suddenly?
Sudden smooth, round bald spots in the beard can be alopecia barbae, an autoimmune condition, and transplanting into it is the wrong treatment. It needs a diagnosis first. Long-standing, stable patchiness is a different matter and usually suits a transplant well.
