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 Maidstone
My Hair UK uses transparent pricing for hair transplants, with packages from £2,499 to £4,899 and no hidden extras. In practice, most Maidstone 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 price 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.
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.
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.
• Straightforward travel from Maidstone. Maidstone East to London is around 1 hour 30 minutes by direct train to London Victoria, 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 Maidstone 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 process:
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.
Clinic Locations and Travel From Maidstone
For Maidstone residents our nearest surgical clinic is in Harrow: the clinic is around 1 hour 30 minutes from Maidstone by direct train from Maidstone East to London Victoria, then around 45 minutes on the Underground via the Victoria and Bakerloo lines to Kenton. The Manchester clinic is also CQC-registered and available if that fits your diary better. Most Maidstone patients choose whichever clinic fits their diary rather than paying inflated prices for a Harley Street clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What does a hair transplant cost for Maidstone patients?
Tiered pricing at My Hair UK starts at £2,499 and goes to £4,899. A typical Maidstone case falls in the £3,500 to £4,500 range after consultation. The tier is determined by the number of grafts you need. See the pricing details for the price list.
2. How painful is a hair transplant?
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.
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?
Our packages cover 500 to 3,500 grafts, though most patients fall in the 1,500–3,000 range. A small crown patch or temple recession might be 800-1,200 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 does the procedure 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. 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 guide on how long a hair transplant lasts for a fuller breakdown.
8. What’s the travel route from Maidstone to the clinic?
Maidstone East to Manchester is around 4 hours via Maidstone to Victoria, walking to Euston, then Avanti to Manchester Piccadilly; to London it’s around 1 hour 30 minutes by direct train to London Victoria, then the Underground to Kenton. See the Travel section above for the full train and car routes to both clinics.
9. Can I have a beard transplant too?
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 beard restoration
.
10. Does a hair transplant leave a visible scar?
FUE doesn’t produce a linear scar. The small extraction marks heal and disappear once hair grows back. It’s one of the reasons FUT strip surgery isn’t offered at the clinics.
