My Hair UK offers hair transplant surgery to Poole patients seeking a permanent, natural-looking result, with surgery performed by GMC-registered surgeons at CQC-registered clinics.

Whether you’re based in Parkstone, Branksome, Canford Heath or Hamworthy, book a free consultation in clinic or by video call with our trichology team to receive a tailored treatment plan with a personalised quote to help restore your hair.
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 Poole
Hair transplant pricing at My Hair UK is set out clearly upfront. Packages start at £2,499 and run to £4,899, and most Poole 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
The number of grafts you need is what determines the cost. Our packages run from 500 to 3,500 grafts, but most patients sit in the 1,500–3,000 range. A mid-level hairline restoration back to the central vertex may be 2,000–2,500 grafts; more significant hair loss might need 3,500+ grafts or surgery split across two sessions. 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.
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.
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 Poole. Poole to the London clinic is only around 2 hours 15 minutes by direct South Western Railway 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 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.
For technical depth, see our guide on how FUE surgery works.

The Hair Transplant Procedure for Poole 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 Poole
For Poole residents our nearest surgical clinic is in Harrow, West London: the clinic is around 2 hours 15 minutes from Poole by direct South Western Railway train from Poole to London Waterloo, then around 40 minutes on the Underground via the Jubilee and Bakerloo lines to Kenton. The Manchester clinic is also CQC-registered and available if that fits your diary better. Most Poole patients choose whichever clinic fits their diary rather than paying inflated prices for a Harley Street clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much does a hair transplant cost in Poole?
Our hair transplant packages run from £2,499 to £4,899 across tiered packages. Most Poole 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 hair transplant pricing guide for tier-by-tier detail.
2. Is a hair transplant painful?
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. See our do hair transplants hurt? guide for the detail.
3. When will I see results?
Shedding happens at week 2 to 3 and is expected. Regrowth starts around month 3, thickening is clearly visible by month 6, and the final result is in 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 will I need?
Graft counts in our packages run from 500 to 3,500, with most patients in the 1,500–3,000 band. A small temple restoration or crown patch might be 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. Do you offer beard 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 FUE beard transplant surgery.
8. Is the result permanent?
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 how long do hair transplants last article for a fuller breakdown.
9. How do Poole patients get to the clinic?
Poole to London it’s around 2 hours 15 minutes by direct South Western Railway train to London Waterloo, then the Underground to Kenton. See the Travel section above for the full train and car routes to both clinics.
10. What medication will I be given after surgery?
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 medications after a hair transplant guide
