FUE is a modern, minimally invasive hair transplant technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area and implanting them into thinning or bald areas.
The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant is a minimally invasive procedure that involves individually extracting follicles from a DHT resistant donor site (typically the back or sides of the scalp) and then transplanting into the area of concern. FUE is a more modern method of hair restoration that has minimal scarring and quicker recovery times. At Berkeley Hair Clinic we have advanced and refined FUE hair transplants to produce industry leading natural results, and we continue in the pursuit of innovation to maintain world class clinical excellence.
No linear scarring.
Most clients are back to normal life in less than a week.
Only transplant grafts from areas resistant to further loss, so transplanted hairs usually remain indefinitely.
Precise placement of each follicle means your hairline looks natural and full.
We assess your scalp, hair goals, and medical history.
We design your hairline and estimate how many grafts you’ll need.
Under local anaesthetic, the surgeon makes precise incisions in the areas of loss and shortly after, the surgical team will carefully extract the follicles and implant.
Tiny scabs fall away within 7–10 days. Minimal discomfort.
Shedding is normal in the first few weeks. Growth begins around month 3–4. Full results are usually seen by month 9–12.
Choosing the right hair transplant clinic is a big decision. Berkeley Hair Clinic has been performing restorations for over a decade from our Harley Street headquarters in London, earning a reputation for clinical excellence and thousands of successful procedures.

At Berkeley Hair Clinic, we’re committed to staying at the forefront of innovation in hair restoration. We exclusively offer unshaven FUE extraction procedures, a cutting-edge technique that reflects both our technical expertise and our understanding of our clients’ lifestyles. Unlike traditional hair transplants that require shaving the donor or recipient areas, our unshaven method allows us to carry out your treatment discreetly. This means:
Our consultations are honest and tailored to you. If you decide to proceed, we’ll be right by your side, from your first conversation to your final follow-up. All our procedures are carried out by highly experienced, GMC-registered surgeons, each of whom have performed thousands of hair restoration surgeries. Their skill is matched by the dedication of our wider clinical team, technicians and advisors who are not only deeply knowledgeable, but also genuinely compassionate.
Follicular Unit Extraction is a minimally invasive method of hair transplantation. Individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor region using a small rotary tool. These follicles are then examined under a microscope and carefully sorted and prepared for placing into the area of concern.
Yes, but not many clinics offer unshaven FUE due to its complex method of extraction. Berkeley Hair Clinic has multiple surgeons that have experience in unshaven and partial shave procedures.Â
A typical FUE procedure takes between 6 to 8 hours, though duration may vary slightly depending on the size and complexity of the case. All procedures at Berkeley Hair Clinic are completed within one day.
All FUE procedures at Berkeley Hair Clinic are performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring patients remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the treatment. Following the procedure, it’s normal to experience mild soreness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few days. Our team provides thorough aftercare instructions and support to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
The scars from the FUE procedure are very small, usually only small dot marks (<1 mm). These scars will be covered by surrounding follicles.
The number of grafts extracted during an FUE procedure varies depending on the extent of hair loss and individual patient needs. Procedures can range from just a few hundred grafts for minor areas of thinning, up to around 3,000 grafts for larger areas experiencing significant hair loss.
Yes, the quicker recovery period is one of several reasons why patients often prefer the FUE procedure. Other benefits include less post-procedure discomfort, minimal scarring and the convenience of not needing any sutures removed.Â
At Berkeley Hair Clinic, patient safety and long-term results are our top priorities. We limit transplant sessions to a maximum of 3,000 grafts to minimise trauma to the scalp, ensure maximum graft survival, and maintain the integrity of the donor area.Â
Yes, the FUE technique can be used for the beard, moustache, and eyebrow restoration procedures.Â
Most patients can comfortably return to light daily activities within 2–5 days following an FUE procedure. Mild redness and scabbing in the transplanted regions typically subside within roughly 7–10 days, after which patients can get back to regular routines.
FUE is ideal for both men and women experiencing patterned hair loss. If you’ve got a healthy donor area and are looking for a subtle, permanent fix to thinning or receding hair, FUE could be the right method for you.
As with any medical procedure, there are some minor risks: swelling, temporary shedding or mild redness. We mitigate these risks with expert and personalised aftercare and detailed recovery plans. Choosing a skilled, ethical team like ours makes all the difference.
Choosing Berkeley Hair Clinic for your FUE hair transplant means trusting a team dedicated to excellence at every step. Our experienced surgeons use the latest FUE technology to ensure precise, natural-looking results with minimal discomfort and downtime. We take a personalised approach to every case, designing treatment plans that match your unique hair type and goals.

At Berkeley Hair Clinic, we understand that every hair transplant journey is unique. While the average cost of a hair transplant in the UK typically ranges from £3,999 to £10,000, pricing can vary depending on your individual needs, the complexity of the procedure, and the number of grafts required.
No two patients are the same and neither are their treatment plans. Factors such as hair loss pattern, donor area quality, and desired density all influence the final cost.
Unlike many clinics that charge high fees for standardised care, Berkeley Hair Clinic offers expert-led, bespoke hair restoration treatments at competitive prices, ensuring you receive exceptional value without compromising on quality.
