Frequently Asked Questions

A hair transplant is an aesthetic surgical procedure that moves healthy hair follicle units from a donor region — usually the back and sides of the scalp — to thinning or balding areas, known as the recipient region.

Yes. Transplanted hair usually remains indefinitely, provided the donor hair is healthy. However, a hair transplant has no influence on any future hair loss of an individual, which is why long-term planning matters.

Yes. With experienced surgeons at reputable clinics, success rates typically exceed 90–98%. At Berkeley Hair Clinic, the success rate is typically above 98%.

Prices generally range from around £3,000 upwards depending on graft count and technique. Berkeley Hair Clinic procedures start from £3,499, with our average treatment prices being between £4,500 and £9,000.

Suitable clients usually possess stable pattern baldness, a healthy donor area, good general health and realistic expectations. Your surgeon confirms your suitability at your free consultation.

Two primary types exist — FUT and FUE. FUT involves surgically extracting a strip of skin and tissue from the back of the scalp, while FUE involves follicles being individually extracted from the donor region with a micro-punch, leaving minimal scarring.

Yes, many UK clinics offer financing to make treatments more accessible. At Berkeley Hair Clinic, we offer flexible payment plans, including interest-free options.

During longer FUE sessions (4–8+ hours), it is quite common for patients to rest or even sleep, especially under gentle sedation.

A procedure performed carefully should be painless and comfortable. Local anaesthesia is administered to numb the relevant area throughout.

Yes. Natural results derive from expertise in design and strategy, refined surgical skill, and an understanding of the density and direction of follicular growth.

FUE is designed to minimise downtime. Only tiny extraction sites are created, which heal naturally without the linear scarring of older techniques, and most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days.
