Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation is a medical and aesthetic treatment designed to restore hair in areas affected by thinning or genetic alopecia (hereditary hair loss), helping patients regain a full, natural look. Hair plays a vital role in our self-image and confidence, and hair loss can significantly impact overall well-being. At London Harley Street Clinics, we offer advanced hair restoration techniques, including FUE, FUT, and Biofibre® Hair Implants, providing permanent and immediate solutions for both men and women.

What is Hair Transplantation?

Hair transplantation is a surgical or synthetic implantation procedure that redistributes natural or artificial hair follicles to areas experiencing thinning or baldness. The process is minimally invasive, delivering long-lasting, natural results that blend seamlessly with existing hair. Our procedures are suitable for male and female pattern baldness, scar-related hair loss, and enhancing areas like the eyebrows, beard, or mustache.

Who are the Best Candidates for Hair Transplantation?

Hair transplantation is ideal for individuals who: Have male or female pattern baldness, Want to restore thinning or absent hair in the eyebrows, beard, or mustache areas, Have hair loss due to scarring, injury, or previous surgery, Are aged 20 and above with a healthy donor area for transplantation, Seek a non-surgical, immediate hair restoration option (Biofibre® Hair Implantation).

Hair Transplant Techniques

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Technique
  • Individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and transplanted to the target area.
  • Leaves minimal scarring and allows for a quick recovery.
  • Ideal for those who prefer short haircuts or minimal downtime.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) Technique
  • Also known as the strip method, FUT involves removing a small strip of scalp tissue from the donor area.
  • Hair follicles are carefully separated and implanted into the target area.
  • Suitable for patients needing a large number of grafts in a single session.
Biofibre® Hair Implantation (Synthetic Hair Transplant)
  • Uses biocompatible synthetic fibers to create instant hair density.
  • Performed under local anesthesia with no need for a donor area.
  • Suitable for patients with insufficient donor hair or those seeking non-surgical hair restoration.
  • Requires maintenance, as around 10% of the fibers may shed annually and need replacement.

Hair Transplantation Procedure

Our specialists assess your hair loss, medical history, and goals to determine the best technique for you.

Patients receive personalized pre-surgery guidelines to optimize results.

  • For FUE/FUT, follicles are extracted and transplanted to balding areas.

  • For Biofibre® Implants, synthetic fibers are carefully implanted into the scalp.

  • FUE/FUT: Mild swelling or redness may occur, but patients return to normal activities within a few days.
