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 Norwich
My Hair UK uses transparent pricing for hair transplants, with packages from £2,499 to £4,899 and no hidden extras. In practice, most Norwich 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 Norwood scale stage (the clinical grading of male pattern baldness) drives the graft count. Early recession at the temples needs fewer grafts than a Norwood VI with extensive crown loss. A consultation includes a donor-area density check to confirm how many grafts are realistically available.
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.
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 is no shortage of hair transplant clinics in the UK. Here is what sets My Hair UK apart:
• Care held to regulated UK standards.GMC-registered surgeons, CQC-registered clinics. Every surgeon is on the GMC register and is personally accountable for their own cases.
• Up-front, all-inclusive pricing. Your tier package covers the hair transplant consultation, the surgery itself and aftercare. No hidden costs, and no surgery-day surprises.
• You meet your surgeon before surgery. Unlike many Turkey clinics (and some UK providers), you’ll know at consultation who will perform your procedure, and you’ll see that same surgeon again on the day.
• Straightforward travel from Norwich. Norwich to the London clinic is around 2 hours 30 minutes by direct Greater Anglia train to London Liverpool Street, 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?
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 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 Norwich 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.
Clinic Locations and Travel From Norwich
The London (Harrow) clinic is the closest to Norwich: the clinic is around 2 hours 30 minutes from Norwich by direct Greater Anglia train from Norwich to London Liverpool Street, then around 45 minutes on the Underground via the Central and Bakerloo lines to Kenton. The Manchester clinic is also CQC-registered and available if that fits your diary better. Most Norwich patients choose whichever clinic fits their diary rather than paying over the odds for a Harley Street address.
So if you live in Hellesdon, Cringleford, Eaton or Costessey, or are a Canaries supporter, then leave the scenic views of Elm Hill and Dragon Hall behind and book a free video or in-person consultation with one of our Trichology team to begin your hair restoration journey.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much does a hair transplant cost in Norwich?
Tiered pricing at My Hair UK starts at £2,499 and goes to £4,899. A typical Norwich 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 pricing page 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?
Most patients return to desk-based work within a week. Exercise and gym should be avoided for 2 weeks. Contact sports should be avoided for longer. We’ll give you a specific timeline during your post-op briefing.
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 is the hair transplant surgery itself?
The procedure runs 5 to 8 hours in most cases, driven by graft count. Allow a full day at the clinic once you factor in preparation and the post-procedure briefing.
7. Is the result permanent?
Yes. Follicles harvested from the donor area (the back and sides of the scalp) are genetically resistant to thinning. Once placed, they can grow for the rest of your life. Our how long results last covers it in more depth.
8. How do I travel to your clinic from Norwich?
Norwich to Manchester is around 4 hours 30 minutes via Liverpool Street, walking to Euston, then Avanti to Manchester Piccadilly; to London it’s around 2 hours 30 minutes by direct Greater Anglia train to London Liverpool Street, then the Underground to Kenton. See the Travel section above for the full train and car routes to both clinics.
9. What medication do I need after a hair transplant?
You’ll usually get a short course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and painkillers for the first few days. Some patients stay on finasteride or minoxidil long-term to protect the hair that wasn’t transplanted. Dosing and timing are covered in our medications after a hair transplant article.
10. Is an unshaven hair transplant possible?
Sometimes. For smaller cases, an unshaven or partially shaven FUE is possible if the donor area can be reached without a full shave. It takes longer to perform and isn’t suitable for every case. The surgeon advises at consultation. See our guide on hair transplant without shaving.
