How much does a hair transplant cost in the UK?

Sapphire FUE starts from £3,299 and DHI starts from £3,999, both including PRP on the day and full aftercare. Your exact plan is confirmed during a free online consultation.

Is a hair transplant painful?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic. The numbing injections at the start can be uncomfortable, and most patients describe feeling pressure rather than pain afterwards. Experiences vary from person to person.

How long is recovery after a hair transplant?

Most patients return to desk-based work within 5–7 days. Initial redness and scabbing usually resolve within 10–14 days.

When will I see hair transplant results?

Initial growth typically begins around 3–4 months after the procedure, with full results usually seen at 12–18 months. Individual results vary.

What's the difference between FUE and DHI?

FUE extracts follicles and creates recipient sites separately, suited to larger areas. DHI uses a Choi pen to implant grafts directly, offering precision for hairline work. Your surgeon will recommend the right technique for you.

How many grafts will I need for a hair transplant?

This depends on the extent of hair loss and your donor area. Up to 4,000 grafts can be included in one procedure, and your surgeon will advise what is safe and appropriate for you.

Who performs the surgery?

Hair Transplant Partners UK coordinates your care. Surgery is performed by GMC-registered surgeons at our partner clinic in Chiswick, London.

How many patients are treated per day?

One. Only one surgery is performed per day, so the surgeon and team stay with you from start to finish.

Is a UK hair transplant much more expensive than Turkey?

Turkey packages are cheaper on paper, but once flights, hotel, time off work and aftercare are added the gap is often small. Sapphire FUE with us starts from £3,299 for up to 4,000 grafts, with PRP and full aftercare included. See the full comparison at hairtransplantpartners.co.uk/HairTransplantCostUKvsTurkey.

What grafts cost at most UK clinics

A graft is a small group of 1 to 4 hairs moved from the back of your head to the thinning area. Most UK clinics price by the graft or in graft bands, so the more grafts you need, the more you pay.

Wimpole Clinic surveyed 104 UK clinics and found an average of £4,820 for 1,500 grafts, about £3.21 per graft. Harley Street Hair Transplant Clinics, for example, publish guide prices of £4,000 to £4,500 for 1,000 grafts and £4,500 to £5,000 for 1,500.

Grafts	At the UK average (£3.20 per graft)	With us: Sapphire FUE	With us: DHI
1,500	about £4,800	from £3,299	from £3,999
2,000	about £6,400	from £3,299	from £3,999
3,000	about £9,600	from £3,299	from £3,999
4,000	about £12,800	from £3,299	from £3,999

UK average figures are 'grafts × £3.20'. Some clinics discount larger sessions, so treat them as a guide. Your exact plan is confirmed at consultation.

Your real cost per graft with us

Because the price is fixed up to 4,000 grafts, the cost per graft falls the more grafts you need.

Grafts	Sapphire FUE (from £3,299)	DHI (from £3,999)	UK average
2,000	£1.65 per graft	£2.00 per graft	about £3.20
3,000	£1.10 per graft	£1.33 per graft	about £3.20
4,000	£0.82 per graft	£1.00 per graft	about £3.20

Example: a 3,000-graft procedure at the UK average of £3.20 per graft comes to about £9,600. With us, the same 3,000 grafts by Sapphire FUE starts from £3,299.
