We specialise in FUE hair transplant surgery, a cutting-edge, minimally invasive solution for hair restoration that ensures a fuller, healthier look. Whether you’re experiencing thinning hair, a receding hairline or patchy facial hair, our expert surgeons use the latest techniques to deliver natural, long-lasting results.
Why Choose FUE Hair Surgery?
Are you experiencing thinning, patchy or receding hair? Have you tried every hair loss shampoo and medication without any success? There is a solution.
A FUE hair transplant offers more advantages over traditional hair restoration methods. It’s less invasive, meaning there’s no need for large incisions or stitches, resulting in minimal scarring and a faster recovery time so you can get back to your routine quickly.
With FUE hair surgery, each follicle is carefully selected and transplanted, allowing for a more natural appearance with better density and natural results.
At British Hair Clinic, our highly skilled surgeons are experts in FUE hair transplant techniques, using the latest tools, techniques and technology to achieve the best possible outcome for each patient. When you choose us, you opt for precision, quality and care throughout your hair restoration process.
FAQ’s
Most patients return to desk-based work within 2–5 days. The scalp usually looks presentable after 7–10 days, once redness and small scabs have cleared. Exercise, swimming and sun exposure should be avoided for around two weeks to protect new grafts. Full healing beneath the skin continues for several weeks, but you can resume normal life quickly.

Transplanted hairs often shed in the first 2–4 weeks, which is a completely normal part of the process. New growth usually starts around 3–4 months post-surgery, becoming more visible between 6–9 months. The final result is typically seen at 12–15 months, when the transplanted hair has fully matured and thickened.
Tiny extraction sites in the donor area usually close within 3–5 days and are fully healed after 10–14 days. Mild redness or tightness can last a little longer in some patients, but it fades naturally without leaving a linear scar. Hair around the donor region regrows quickly, covering any signs of extraction.
After shedding in the first month, the follicles enter a brief resting phase before producing new hair. Early growth begins at three months, with noticeable density between six and nine months. By 12 months, most patients see strong, consistent growth that continues to thicken slightly for up to 18 months as the hair cycle stabilises.
The number of grafts depends on the size of the thinning area and the density desired. A small hairline restoration may need around 1,000–1,500 grafts, while moderate crown or frontal thinning might use 2,000–3,000 grafts. Larger cases, such as full top restoration, can require 4,000 or more. Each graft contains one to four follicles, placed individually for a natural result.
Yes. The transplanted follicles are taken from areas genetically resistant to hair loss and should continue to grow for life. Read more about what to expect 10 years after your FUE transplant here on our blog.

What is FUE Hair Transplant?
FUE stands for follicular unit extraction, a less invasive hair transplant surgery. This method allows our surgeons to restore your hair by extracting individual follicles from a healthy donor hair area and grafting them where you’re thinning or balding.
Unlike older methods, the FUE hair transplant leaves minimal scarring and requires less downtime.
Our experts utilise advanced technology for precise extraction and implantation, providing the most natural-looking, long-lasting results. Whether for scalp, beard or eyebrow hair restoration, FUE hair surgery is effective for both men and women experiencing hair loss.
