Hair Transplants for Farnborough Patients with My Hair UK
My Hair UK offers hair transplant surgery to Farnborough patients seeking a permanent, natural-looking result, with surgery performed by GMC-registered surgeons at CQC-registered clinics. We know that hair loss is about more than appearance, especially if you’re managing male pattern baldness, thinning hair, or a receding hairline.
Whether you’re based in Cove, Hawley, Mytchett or North Camp, book a free consultation in clinic or by video call with our trichology team to discuss your options and receive a tailored treatment plan with a personalised quote to help restore your hair.
Why Choose A Hair Transplant?
For many patients, a hair transplant is the first lasting solution they’ve found, and it’s the only medical procedure that delivers permanent regrowth in balding or thinned areas. It works by moving healthy follicles from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to thinning, into the areas that need coverage. Once the transplanted follicles settle in, they can keep growing for the rest of your life.
The Cost of a Hair Transplant in Farnborough
My Hair UK uses transparent pricing for hair transplants, with packages from £2,499 to £4,899 and no hidden extras. In practice, most Farnborough patients pay somewhere in the £3,500 to £4,500 range once a surgeon has reviewed their case and confirmed the graft count. Graft count itself reflects the extent of your hair loss, your hair type, and the result you have in mind. The factors below explain what shapes the price.

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.
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
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
There are plenty of hair transplant clinics in the UK. Here’s what makes My Hair UK different:
• Regulated UK medical standards. GMC-registered surgeons, CQC-registered clinics. Every surgeon is listed on the GMC register and personally accountable for their work.
• Transparent, all-inclusive pricing. The tier package you sit in covers your hair transplant consultation, surgery, and aftercare. No hidden costs and no surgery-day add-ons.
• You meet your surgeon before surgery. Unlike many Turkey clinics (and some UK providers), you’ll know who is performing your procedure at consultation, and you’ll see them again on the day.
• Specialist experience with Afro-textured and women’s hair. Follicle shape and curl angle affect extraction technique. The surgical team has specific experience in Afro-Caribbean hair transplants and women’s hair transplants.
• Straightforward travel from Farnborough.Farnborough to the London clinic is around 50 minutes by direct train to London Waterloo, 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 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 in the donor area that heal quickly and aren’t visible under normal-length hair. FUT (strip surgery) leaves a visible line.
• Faster recovery. No stitches, no sutures to remove. Most patients can return to desk-based work within a week.
• Precision for hairlines. Individual follicle placement allows surgeons to replicate the natural single-hair density at the front hairline. Strip surgery cannot match this as reliably.
• Suitable for shorter hairstyles. Because there’s no linear scar, FUE patients can wear their hair short without scar exposure.
For technical depth on the procedure, see our complete FUE guide.

The Hair Transplant Procedure for Farnborough Patients
The FUE hair transplant is carried out under local anaesthetic. You remain awake, but you won’t feel the extraction or placement. Individual follicles are removed from the back and sides of the scalp (genetically resistant to thinning) and placed into the thinned or receded areas.
The steps:
1. Consultation: your hair loss is assessed in person, your goals are discussed, and a graft count and treatment plan are agreed. You meet the surgeon who will operate on you.
2. Preparation: on surgery day you’re settled in for the procedure. The donor area is trimmed and local anaesthetic is administered. The procedure is comfortable, but expect a full day at the clinic.
3. Extraction and placement: follicles are extracted one by one and placed into the recipient area at matching angles and densities. Surgical time is driven by graft count, typically 5 to 8 hours.
4. Recovery: you leave with detailed aftercare to support you through the early weeks. Desk-based work is usually fine within a week; more physical work should wait until the 2-week mark. The final result develops over 9 to 12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What does a hair transplant cost for Farnborough patients?
Tiered pricing at My Hair UK starts at £2,499 and goes to £4,899. A typical Farnborough case falls in the £3,500 to £4,500 range after consultation. The tier is determined by the number of grafts you need. See our hair transplant costs page for the price list.
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.
3. When do hair transplant results show?
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 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. What graft count 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 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?
The donor hair from the back and sides of the scalp is genetically resistant to thinning, so once those follicles are transplanted they can keep growing for life. See our how long transpalnt results last article for a fuller breakdown.
8. What’s the difference between FUE and FUT?
FUE removes follicles one at a time. There’s no linear scar, recovery is quicker, and short haircuts are fine afterwards. FUT takes a strip of scalp from the donor area and leaves a linear scar. Only FUE is offered at the clinics; the recovery and aesthetic outcome are better for most patients.
9. 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 where transplanted hair comes from guide explains why.
10. Are hair transplants suitable for women?
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.
