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 Wellingborough
For Wellingborough patients, a hair transplant costs £2,499 to £4,899, 5☆ all-inclusive, covering GMC-registered surgeons and CQC-registered clinics with nothing added on the day. The number of grafts you need decides your price, agreed once a surgeon has reviewed your case. Below, we break down what shapes it.

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.
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 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.
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

• 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.
• Specialist experience with Afro-textured and women’s hair. Follicle shape and curl angle affect extraction technique. The surgical team has specific experience in Afro-Caribbean hair transplants and women’s hair transplants.
• Straightforward travel from Wellingborough.Wellingborough to the London clinic is around 1 hour 30 minutes by direct East Midlands Railway train to London St Pancras, 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 in the donor area that heal quickly and aren’t visible under normal-length hair. FUT (strip surgery) leaves a visible line.
• Faster recovery. No stitches, no sutures to remove. Most patients can return to desk-based work within a week.
• Precision for hairlines. Individual follicle placement allows surgeons to replicate the natural single-hair density at the front hairline. Strip surgery cannot match this as reliably.
• Suitable for shorter hairstyles. Because there’s no linear scar, FUE patients can wear their hair short without scar exposure.
For technical depth on the procedure, see our FUE hair transplant guide.

The Hair Transplant Procedure for Wellingborough 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 12-18 months.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What’s the price of a hair transplant in Wellingborough?
Hair transplant costs for Wellingborough patients range from £2,499 to £4,899, 5☆ all-inclusive, with GMC-registered surgeons at CQC-registered clinics and no hidden extras. Your price depends on the number of grafts you need, confirmed with a personalised quote at your free consultation.
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 do hair transplant results show?
Transplanted hair sheds at week 2 to 3. This is normal and expected. New hair begins to grow at around month 3. Visible thickening starts to happen at 5 months, with full results at 12-18 months.
4. How soon can I return to work and 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 does a hair transplant 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?
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. Which part of the scalp is used as the donor area?
It comes from your own scalp, specifically the back and sides, which are genetically resistant to thinning. This is the standard donor zone for FUE. Our guide on the hair transplant donor area explains why.
8. What age can I have a hair transplant?
In the UK, you must be at least 18 to have a hair transplant legally. That said, careful thought is needed for patients in their late teens and early to mid 20s, where hair loss patterns often haven’t stabilised. Patients in this age range can be more likely to need additional surgery in the future as further loss develops. Our how old should you be for a hair transplant page has the full explanation.
9. 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.
