Why Choose A Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a meaningful decision, and it’s also the only clinical option that produces permanent regrowth where hair has been lost. The procedure relocates healthy follicles from the back and sides of the scalp (a donor zone that is genetically resistant to thinning), into the thinned or receded areas. Once those follicles take, they can continue to grow for life.
The Cost of a Hair Transplant in Burnley
Hair transplant pricing at My Hair UK is set out clearly upfront. Packages start at £2,499 and run to £4,899, and most Burnley patients spend in the £3,500 to £4,500 range once their consultation and graft count estimate are in hand. What you pay reflects how many grafts are needed, which itself depends on the extent of your hair loss, your hair type, and the outcome you want. The factors below set out the main considerations.

Factors Affecting Hair Transplant Costs
Number of Grafts Needed
Graft count is the single biggest factor in the cost. Our packages cover 500 to 3,500 grafts, though most patients fall in the 1,500–3,000 range. A small crown patch might be 800 grafts. A full front hairline restoration can need 3,000+ grafts. More grafts mean a longer surgical day and 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 surgeons work with the full range of hair types and textures. Coarser hair delivers better hair transplant coverage per graft than fine hair, so a patient with thick hair can often reach the same visual density with fewer grafts. Afro-textured and curly hair call for surgeons with specific experience, because follicle shape and curl angle change the extraction technique. We’ll cover this in your consultation.
Surgeon Expertise
The surgeon at the table is what shapes the result. Each of the clinic’s surgeons is GMC-registered and has personally performed more than 1,000 FUE hair transplant procedures. Individual surgeon experience is what matters here, not team totals. 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 Burnley. Burnley to Manchester is around 1 hour by direct train to Manchester Victoria; London is around 3 hours via Preston and Avanti West Coast to London Euston. 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?
All-inclusive at My Hair UK means one price covers the whole journey, from first consultation through to your final follow-up, with nothing extra added on the day. Your tier package takes in every stage of treatment, and there is no consultation fee. Here’s what that price covers:
• Initial consultation: a specialist assesses your hair loss, takes your medical history and builds a treatment plan tailored to you
• FUE hair transplant: the procedure itself, covering local anaesthetic, how the donor area is preserved and follicle placement
• Post-operative aftercare: written recovery instructions, scheduled follow-ups and a direct line to the clinic for anything that comes up during recovery
• Named GMC-registered surgeon: you’ll know in advance exactly who is performing your procedure
The Benefits of FUE Hair Transplants
• No linear scar. FUE leaves tiny individual marks in the donor area that heal quickly and aren’t visible under normal-length hair. FUT (strip surgery) leaves a visible line across the back of the head.
• Faster recovery. There are no stitches and no sutures to come out. Desk-based work is usually fine within a week.
• Precision for hairlines. Placing follicles individually lets surgeons replicate the natural single-hair density at the front hairline. Strip surgery struggles to match this consistently.
• Suitable for shorter hairstyles. With no linear scar, FUE patients can wear their hair short without exposing a scar line.

The Hair Transplant Procedure for Burnley Patients
The FUE hair transplant runs under local anaesthetic. You stay awake throughout, 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 the areas that have thinned or receded.
How it runs:
1. Consultation: the hair loss is assessed in person, your goals are talked through, and a graft count and treatment plan are agreed. You’ll meet the surgeon who will perform your procedure.
2. Preparation: on the day, you’re welcomed in and settled. The donor area is trimmed and local anaesthetic is administered. The procedure itself is comfortable, but plan on being at the clinic for the full day.
3. Extraction and placement: follicles are extracted one at a time and placed into the recipient area at matching angles and densities. The graft count sets the surgical time, typically 5 to 8 hours.
4. Recovery: you leave with full aftercare instructions in hand. Most patients are back at desk-based work within a week, more physical work can resume after 2 weeks, and full results build over 9 to 12 months.

Our hair transplant packages run from £2,499 to £4,899 across tiered packages. Most Burnley 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 package prices for tier-by-tier detail.
2. Does a hair transplant hurt?
It shouldn’t hurt. FUE runs under local anaesthetic, so you’re awake but you don’t feel the extraction or placement. Patients typically describe the day as long rather than painful. More in our guide on hair transplant pain.
3. How soon will I see results?
Transplanted hair sheds at week 2 to 3. This is normal and expected. New hair begins to grow at around month 3. Visible thickening is typically noticeable at 6 months, with full results at 9 to 12 months.
4. How soon can I return to work and exercise?
Desk-based work is typically fine within a week. Leave the gym and general exercise for 2 weeks. Contact sports need longer. You’ll get a specific timeline in your post-op briefing.
5. How many grafts will I need?
Our packages span 500 to 3,500 grafts, with most patients needing 1,500–3,000. Minor restoration of temples or a small crown patch may sit at 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 many hours does a hair transplant take?
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. How do Burnley patients get to the clinic?
Burnley Manchester Road to Manchester is around 1 hour by direct train to Manchester Victoria; to London it’s around 3 hours via Preston and Avanti West Coast to London Euston. See the Travel section above for the full train and car routes to both clinics.
8. Where does the transplanted hair come from?
It comes from your own scalp, specifically the back and sides, which are genetically resistant to thinning. This is the standard donor zone for FUE. Our donor area explained guide highlights why.
9. Is a beard transplant available alongside hair transplants?
Yes. Beard transplants are offered at the clinics using the same FUE technique as scalp work, with follicles taken from the back and sides of the scalp and placed into the beard area. Case detail on our beard transplant page.
10. Are hair transplants suitable for women?
Yes, for the right cases. FUE handles hairline lowering, scar concealment and diffuse female thinning with a viable donor area. More on the criteria and case examples at consultation.
11. What preparation is needed before a consultation?
Minimal prep. Write down your current medications, flag any conditions that affect healing and, ideally, have spoken to your GP about your hair loss beforehand. Bring your questions. There’s no pressure to book at the consultation.
