Hair Transplants for Stevenage Patients with My Hair UK
My Hair UK offers hair transplant surgery to Stevenage 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 Old Town, Pin Green, Shephall or Bedwell, 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?
A hair transplant is a meaningful decision, and it’s also the only clinical option that produces permanent regrowth where hair has been lost. The procedure relocates healthy follicles from the back and sides of the scalp (a donor zone that is genetically resistant to thinning), into the thinned or receded areas. Once those follicles take, they can grow for the rest of your life.
The Cost of a Hair Transplant in Stevenage
Hair transplant pricing at My Hair UK is set out clearly upfront. Packages start at £2,499 and run to £4,899, and most Stevenage 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
Graft count is the main factor that determines the cost. Our packages run from 500 to 3,500 grafts, with most patients needing 1,500–3,000. A minor restoration of the front hairline or temples may be 1,000–1,500 grafts, while a large crown section typically needs 2,500–3,000. Higher graft counts extend the surgical day and move you into a 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 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.
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 Stevenage. Stevenage to the London clinic is around 1 hour by direct Great Northern train to London King's Cross, 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 Stevenage 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 sequence:
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 12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much does a hair transplant cost in Stevenage?
Our hair transplant packages run from £2,499 to £4,899 across tiered packages. Most Stevenage 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.
2. How painful is a hair transplant?
It shouldn’t hurt. FUE runs under local anaesthetic, so you’re awake but you don’t feel the extraction or placement. Patients typically describe the day as long rather than painful. More in our guide on hair transplant surgery pain.
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 by 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. 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 does the procedure take?
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. How do I travel to your clinic from Stevenage?
Stevenage to Manchester is around 2 hours 30 minutes by train via London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly; to London it’s around 1 hour by direct Great Northern train to London King's Cross, then the Underground to Kenton. See the Travel section above for the full train and car routes to both clinics.
8. Will there be visible scarring?
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.
9. How do FUE and FUT compare?
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.
10. Can I have a hair transplant without shaving my head?
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 no-shave hair transplant guide.
