Hair Transplants for Stourbridge Patients with My Hair UK
My Hair UK offers hair transplant surgery to Stourbridge 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 Wollaston, Amblecote, Norton or Wollescote, 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?
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 Stourbridge
My Hair UK uses transparent pricing for hair transplants, with packages from £2,499 to £4,899 and no hidden extras. In practice, most Stourbridge 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.
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
Whatever your hair type or texture, the surgical team has worked with it before. Coarser hair provides better hair transplant coverage per graft than fine hair, which means thick-haired patients can often hit the same visual density with a lower graft count. Afro-textured and curly hair needs surgeons with specific experience. Follicle shape and curl angle change how extraction is performed.
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.
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.
Straightforward travel from Stourbridge. Stourbridge Junction to Manchester is around 1 hour 45 minutes by train via Birmingham New Street to Manchester Piccadilly; London is around 2 hours 30 minutes by train via Birmingham New Street to London Euston, 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.
More on how the procedure runs in our FUE technical guide.

The Hair Transplant Procedure for Stourbridge 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 Stourbridge?
Our hair transplant packages run from £2,499 to £4,899 across tiered packages. Most Stourbridge 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 cost.
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 more on hair transplant surgery pain for the detail.
3. How soon will I see results?
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. 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 many hours does a hair transplant 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 follicles taken from the donor area (back and sides of the scalp) are genetically resistant to thinning. Once transplanted, they can continue to grow for the rest of your life. See our guide on hair transplant longevity for the detail.
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. What age can I have a hair transplant?
The minimum legal age for a hair transplant in the UK is 18. However, strong consideration should be given for patients in their late teens and early-to-mid 20s, as hair loss may not yet be stable. Younger patients can face a higher chance of needing further surgery later in life as their hair loss progresses. More detail in our age guide for hair transplants.
