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 can grow for the rest of your life.
The Cost of a Hair Transplant in Dartford
Hair transplant costs for Dartford patients start at £2,499 and reach £4,899, 5☆ all-inclusive, with GMC-registered surgeons at CQC-registered clinics and no hidden extras. The number of grafts you need sets your price, confirmed at a free consultation. Below, we explain what shapes it.
The prices above are fixed and identical across all our clinics. Compare every session size in the hair transplant prices across the UK.
How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost in Dartford?
A hair transplant is widely quoted at £3,000 to £8,000 by clinics across London and the South East. At My Hair UK the price is fixed, from £2,499 for 500 grafts to £4,899 for 3,500 grafts, and it is the same for Dartford patients as everywhere else in the UK, because we price by graft count rather than by city. The table below sets both side by side.
| Grafts | My Hair UK Price | Widely quoted locally | Typical case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 grafts | £2,499 | £3,000 to £3,500 | Minor temple points or a hairline touch-up |
| 1,000 grafts | £2,899 | £4,000 to £4,900 | Temple recession or a small crown patch |
| 1,500 grafts | £3,299 | £4,500 to £5,900 | An early receding hairline and temples |
| 2,000 grafts | £3,699 | £5,500 to £6,000 | Midsized hairline and temple restoration |
| 2,500 grafts | £4,099 | £6,000 to £6,900 | Comprehensive hairline plus mid-scalp |
| 3,000 grafts | £4,499 | £6,500 to £7,900 | Extensive frontal and mid-scalp |
| 3,500 grafts | £4,899 | £7,900 | Our maximum in a single session |
| 4,000 grafts | £7,398 total | £8,900 to £9,900 | Extensive loss, planned across two sessions |
| 5,000 grafts | £8,198 total | £10,900 to £11,900 | Advanced loss, front and crown, two sessions |
| 6,000 grafts | £8,998 total | £10,900 to £11,900 | Our largest planned restoration, two sessions |
Comparison figures are published prices from clinics operating in London and the South East, collected August 2026. They are shown for context and are not our quotes. Our price includes the consultation, the surgeon-led procedure, post-operative medication, your aftercare kit and in-person follow-up, with nothing added on the day.
Rows up to 3,500 grafts are a single session, and 3,500 is our maximum in one sitting. Anything above that is planned as two sessions at least six months apart to protect the donor area, so the prices shown for 4,000 grafts and above are the combined total for both.

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
Your graft count is driven by where you sit on the Norwood scale, the standard clinical grading for male pattern baldness. Early recession at the temples requires far fewer grafts than a Norwood VI with widespread crown loss. Consultation includes a donor-area density assessment to confirm how many grafts can realistically be harvested. This is a check some clinics skip.
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 you choose makes a meaningful difference. Each of the surgeons is GMC-registered and has personally performed over 1,000 FUE hair transplant procedures. That’s per surgeon, not a combined total 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.
How Many Grafts Will I Need?
Graft count is what sets your price, and it follows your stage of hair loss on the Norwood scale. These are guide figures; your own number is confirmed at a free in-person consultation with the surgeon who would carry out your procedure.
| Norwood stage | Typical pattern | Grafts usually needed | Typical cost with My Hair UK |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Slight recession, no visible thinning | Often none; up to 1,000 if suitable | Monitoring or medication first |
| Stage 2 | Temple recession, mature hairline | 1,000 to 1,500 | £2,899 to £3,299 |
| Stage 3 | Deeper recession at the temples | 2,000 to 2,500 | £3,699 to £4,099 |
| Stage 3 vertex | Recession plus thinning at the crown | 2,500 to 3,500 | £4,099 to £4,899 |
| Stage 4 | Significant frontal loss, larger crown | 3,000 to 4,000 | £4,499 to £4,899, may need two |
| Stage 5 | Front and crown grow, band narrows | 4,000 to 5,000, often two sessions | £4,899 to £8,198 |
| Stage 6 | One large area of loss | 5,000 to 6,000, two sessions | £8,198 to £8,998 in total |
| Stage 7 | Only a horseshoe at back and sides | Demand exceeds donor supply | Usually not suitable |
The honest constraint behind these figures is your donor area, which can typically supply 6,000 to 7,000 grafts across a lifetime. That is why we cap a single session at 3,500 grafts, and why advanced loss cannot always be fully restored. For every session size, cost per graft and a full breakdown of what is included, see our UK hair transplant cost guide.
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.

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 covers everything from your first consultation to your final follow-up, with no surprise costs and no surgery-day add-ons. The tier package you sit in covers every stage of your treatment, with no consultation fee. Here’s what’s included:
• Initial consultation: a specialist assesses your hair loss, reviews your medical history, and builds 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 instructions, follow-up appointments, and a direct line to the clinic if you have concerns during recovery
• Named GMC-registered surgeon: you’ll know who is performing your procedure before the 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 Dartford 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What does a hair transplant cost for Dartford patients?
For Dartford patients, a hair transplant costs £2,499 to £4,899, 5☆ all-inclusive, with GMC-registered surgeons at CQC-registered clinics and nothing added on the day. The exact price depends on your graft count, which a surgeon confirms at a free consultation.
2. Does a hair transplant hurt?
Not during surgery. FUE is done under local anaesthetic. You stay awake but don’t feel the extraction or placement. Most patients describe it as a long but comfortable day. Our guide on hair transplant pain has more on this.
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. How long before I can return to work or 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 does a hair transplant 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?
Surgery itself usually runs 5 to 8 hours, depending on graft count. Plan on being at the clinic for the full day, with preparation, surgery and post-procedure briefing all included.
7. Does a hair transplant last forever?
Yes. Follicles harvested from the donor area (the back and sides of the scalp) are genetically resistant to thinning. Once placed, they grow for the rest of your life. Our guide on transplant longevity covers it in more depth.
8. What are the medication requirements after a hair transplant?
You’ll typically be given a short course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and painkillers to cover the first few days. Some patients continue finasteride or minoxidil long-term to preserve non-transplanted hair. Full detail on dosing and duration is in our guide on post-transplant medication.
9. Do I have to shave my head for a hair transplant?
In some cases, yes. An unshaven or partially shaven FUE is possible for smaller cases where the donor area can be accessed without a full shave. It takes longer and isn’t suitable for every case. The surgeon will advise at consultation. See our guide on hair transplant without shaving.
10. How old do I need to be for a hair transplant?
The minimum legal age for a hair transplant in the UK is 18. However, strong consideration should be given for patients in their late teens and early-to-mid 20s, as hair loss may not yet be stable. Younger patients can face a higher chance of needing further surgery later in life as their hair loss progresses. More detail in our how old should you be for a hair transplant? article.
11. Can women have a hair transplant?
Yes, in the right cases. FUE works for hairline lowering, scar concealment and diffuse female thinning where the donor area is strong enough. Detail and case examples are covered at consultation.
12. What preparation is needed before a consultation?
Little preparation is needed. Bring a list of current medications, note any conditions that affect healing, and ideally speak to your GP in advance about your hair loss. Come with questions. There’s no pressure to book on the day.
