Why Choose A Hair Transplant?
Choosing a hair transplant is a significant step, and it’s the only clinical treatment that produces permanent regrowth in areas where hair has been lost. A hair transplant works by relocating healthy follicles from the back and sides of the scalp, which are genetically resistant to thinning, to the areas that need coverage. Once those follicles establish, they should grow for life.
The Cost of a Hair Transplant in Brighton
At My Hair UK, hair transplant pricing is transparent and up-front. Packages run from £2,499 to £4,899, with most Brighton patients investing between £3,500 and £4,500 once they’ve had a consultation and a graft count estimate. The exact tier depends on your graft count, which is determined by the extent of your hair loss, your hair type, and the result you’re aiming for. The factors below explain what shapes the cost.

Factors Affecting Hair Transplant Costs
Number of Grafts Needed
Graft count is the main factor that determines the cost. Our packages run from 500 to 3,500 grafts, with most patients needing 1,500–3,000. A minor restoration of the front hairline or temples may be 1,000–1,500 grafts, while a large crown section typically needs 2,500–3,000. Higher graft counts extend the surgical day and move you into a higher tier package.
Extent of Hair Loss
The Norwood scale stage you sit on (the clinical grading of male pattern baldness) determines the graft count you need. Early temple recession is a lower-graft case than a Norwood VI with significant crown loss. The consultation also includes a donor-area density check to confirm the realistic supply of grafts. This is a step some clinics miss.
Hair Type and Texture
The team has experience with all hair types and textures. Coarser hair gives better hair transplant coverage per graft than fine hair, so a patient with thick hair may need fewer grafts for the same visual density. Afro-textured and curly hair require surgeons with specific experience, as follicle shape and curl angle affect extraction technique. We’ll discuss this at consultation.
Surgeon Expertise
Choosing the right surgeon is one of the more important calls you’ll make. Every one of the clinics’ surgeons is GMC-registered and has personally completed more than 1,000 FUE hair transplant procedures. These figures are per surgeon, not added up across the whole team. Natural-looking results come from surgeon skill, not machines. How the hairline is designed, the angle each follicle sits at, and how the donor area is preserved all matter more than equipment. That’s why the surgical team places each graft by hand rather than using automated systems.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
Your hair transplant consultation is free and there is no obligation to book. It takes around 45 minutes and gives you the information you need to decide in your own time. Here’s what happens:
Medical history
We take a brief medical history: current medications, previous surgeries, conditions that affect healing, and whether you’ve already spoken to your GP about hair loss.
Scalp assessment
A specialist examines your scalp under magnification, grades your hair loss on the Norwood scale (for men) or Ludwig scale (for women), and checks the density of your donor area.
Goal discussion & plan
We talk through what you want a transplant to achieve. You’ll get a graft count estimate and a tier price based on the clinical assessment. There are no surprise add-ons on surgery day.
Meet the surgeon
You can meet the GMC-registered surgeon who would perform your procedure. They answer technical questions directly.
No pressure to decide
You’ll leave with a tailored treatment plan, a personalised quote, and time to think it over. Most patients take a few weeks before booking.
Why Choose My Hair UK
The UK has no shortage of hair transplant clinics. Here’s what separates My Hair UK from the rest:
• Regulated UK medical care.GMC-registered surgeons, CQC-registered clinics. Every surgeon appears on the GMC register and is personally accountable for the work they do.
• Clear, all-inclusive pricing. The tier package you’re placed in covers the hair transplant consultation, surgery and aftercare. No hidden costs, and nothing extra appears on surgery day.
• You meet your surgeon before surgery.Unlike many Turkey clinics (and a number of UK providers), you’ll know who is operating on you at consultation, and you’ll see the same surgeon again on the day.
• Specialist experience with Afro-textured and women’s hair. Follicle shape and curl angle change the extraction technique. The clinics’ surgeons have specific experience in Afro-Caribbean hair transplants and women’s hair transplants.
• Straightforward travel from Brighton.Brighton station to Manchester is around 4 hours via London Euston (changing in central London); London is around 1 hour via Thameslink or Southern to central London, then the Underground to Kenton. See the Travel section below for details.
Recovery and Results Timeline
Recovery is mostly straightforward, with detailed aftercare guidance from the team to lean on at each stage. It’s faster than older hair transplant techniques, though the final result still takes time. A summary is below:
• First 24 hours after: Expect mild swelling and tightness.
• Week 1: The donor and recipient areas scab naturally. No scratching, no heavy lifting.
• Weeks 2–3: Transplanted hair sheds. This is normal. The follicle stays in place while the shaft falls out before it regrows.
• Month 3: New growth emerges from the transplanted follicles.
• Month 6: Visible thickening.
• Months 9–12: Full density and final result.
More detail on each phase, including washing routines, sleeping advice, exercise limits and medication, lives in our detailed recovery guide.
What's Included In The Price?
Pricing at My Hair UK is all-inclusive: one figure covers consultation, surgery and every aftercare touchpoint, with nothing extra on the day. Your tier package covers every stage of treatment, with no consultation fee. Here’s what the price covers:
• Initial consultation: a specialist reviews your hair loss, works through your medical history and maps out a tailored treatment plan
• FUE hair transplant: the surgery itself, including local anaesthetic, how the donor area is preserved and follicle placement
• Post-operative aftercare: detailed recovery guidance, follow-up appointments and a direct line to the clinic if anything comes up while you recover
• Named GMC-registered surgeon: you will know who is performing your procedure before surgery day
The Benefits of FUE Hair Transplants
• No linear scar. FUE leaves tiny individual marks across the donor area that heal quickly and aren’t visible under normal-length hair. FUT (strip surgery) leaves a single visible line.
• Faster recovery. There are no stitches or sutures to remove, and most patients are back at desk-based work within a week.
• Precision for hairlines. Placing follicles one at a time allows surgeons to recreate the natural single-hair density at the front hairline. Strip surgery cannot match this reliably.
• Suitable for shorter hairstyles.Because there is no linear scar, FUE patients can wear their hair short without showing a scar.

The Hair Transplant Procedure for Brighton Patients
The FUE hair transplant is performed under local anaesthetic. You’ll be awake, but you won’t feel the extraction or placement. Individual follicles are taken from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to thinning, and placed into areas where hair has thinned or receded.
The process:
1. Consultation: your hair loss is assessed in person, your goals are discussed, and a graft count and treatment plan are agreed. You’ll meet the surgeon who will perform your procedure.
2. Preparation: on surgery day, you’re settled in. The donor area is trimmed and local anaesthetic is administered. The procedure is comfortable, though you should expect a full day at the clinic.
3. Extraction and placement: follicles are extracted one at a time and placed into the recipient area at matching angles and densities. The number of grafts determines the surgical time, typically 5 to 8 hours.
4. Recovery: recovery is supported by detailed aftercare instructions before you leave. Most patients can return to desk-based work within a week, with more physical work back on the table after 2 weeks. Full results develop over 9 to 12 months. See the Recovery and Results Timeline section below for detail.
Clinic Locations and Travel From Brighton
The London (Harrow) clinic is the closest to Brighton: around 1 hour from Brighton station to central London. The Manchester clinic is also CQC-registered and available if that fits your diary better. Most Brighton patients choose whichever clinic fits their diary rather than paying a postcode premium at a local-only London clinic.
So if you live in Fiveways, Patcham, Westdene or Hove then leave behind the scenic views of the Undercliff Walk and Brighton Pier and book a free hair transplant consultation and our trichology team will talk you through which one works better for you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What does a hair transplant cost for Brighton patients?
Our hair transplant packages run from £2,499 to £4,899 across tiered packages. Most Brighton patients pay between £3,500 and £4,500 once they’ve had a consultation and a graft count estimate. Graft count is the main factor that determines the tier. See our full hair transplant price list for tier-by-tier detail.
2. Does a hair transplant hurt?
No. FUE is performed under local anaesthetic. You’ll be awake but you won’t feel the extraction or placement. Most patients describe the day as long but comfortable. See our is a hair transplant painful for the detail.
3. When will I see results?
The transplanted hair sheds at week 2 to 3. This is normal and expected. New growth starts around month 3, thickening is visible by 6 months, and the full result comes through at 9 to 12 months.
4. When can I go back to work and the gym?
You can usually go back to desk-based work inside a week. Keep away from exercise and the gym for 2 weeks. Contact sports need more time. Your post-op briefing gives you a specific timeline.
5. What graft count will I need?
Graft counts in our packages run from 500 to 3,500, with most patients in the 1,500–3,000 band. A small temple restoration or crown patch might be 1,000-1,500 grafts. Restoring a full front hairline can need 3,000+ grafts. A specialist will confirm your graft count at consultation by grading your hair loss on the Norwood scale.
6. How long is the hair transplant surgery itself?
The procedure typically takes 5 to 8 hours, depending on graft count. Expect a full day at the clinic including preparation, surgery, and post-procedure briefing.
7. Is the result permanent?
Yes. The follicles taken from the donor area (back and sides of the scalp) are genetically resistant to thinning. Once transplanted, they continue to grow for the rest of your life. See our guide on how long a hair transplant lasts for the detail.
8. What’s the difference between FUE and FUT?
FUE takes follicles individually. There’s no linear scar, faster recovery, and it suits shorter hairstyles. FUT removes a whole strip of scalp from the donor area and leaves a linear scar. The clinics only run FUE because for most patients the recovery and look are both better.
9. How do I travel to your clinic from Brighton?
Brighton station to Manchester is around 4 hours via London Euston (changing in central London); to London it’s around 1 hour via Thameslink or Southern to central London, then the Underground to Kenton. See the Travel section above for the full train and car routes to both clinics.
10. Where does the transplanted hair come from?
Your own scalp: the back and sides, which stay genetically resistant to thinning. That’s the standard donor zone for FUE. See our guide on where transplant hair comes from for the full explanation.
11. Is a beard transplant available alongside hair transplants?
Yes. Beard transplants use the same FUE method as scalp work, with follicles taken from the back and sides of the scalp and placed into the beard. Full information on our FUE beard transplants.
12. Do you offer hair transplants for women?
Yes. Female pattern hair loss responds to FUE in selected cases. FUE works particularly well for hairline lowering, scar concealment, and diffuse thinning where the donor area is viable. We can walk through case examples at consultation.
