Are You a Good Candidate for a Hair Transplant?

Before anything else, it’s important to know whether you’re a suitable candidate for surgery. At The Growth Clinic London, we see a range of patients - from those with early hairline recession to more advanced thinning.

Many people begin with medical therapies to stabilise their hair loss and improve density before surgery.

If you’re unsure where to start, book a free consultation with Dr Richard Clarke online or visit our London hair transplant clinic to discuss the best plan for your needs.

Before Your Hair Transplant

Choosing the right doctor and clinic is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Small details make a big difference - and poor technique can lead to poor results.

Sadly, we often see patients who come to us for repair work after visiting low-cost or poorly skilled clinics. These cases cause complications and can be expensive to fix - so it’s worth doing it properly the first time.

At The Growth Clinic, our focus is on patient-first care. From your consultation through to long-term follow-up, our goal is to make the process clear, comfortable, and results-driven. Recovery is private, downtime is minimal, and support is always close at hand.

Understanding Hair Transplant Surgery

There are two main types of surgery used in hair transplant surgery:

  • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) – removes individual hair follicles from the back of the head. It’s minimally invasive and leaves almost invisible marks.

  • FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) – removes a thin strip of skin which is then divided into grafts. It’s ideal for older clients, women, afro-textured hair, or patients needing a large number of grafts after previous surgery.

Both techniques achieve excellent results when performed by experienced hair transplant surgeons.

At The Growth Clinic London, we’re transparent about counts and costs:
• Most patients need at least 1,500 grafts (£5,000).
• Larger sessions of 3,000 grafts costs (£8,000)

What Happens on the Day

On the day of your surgery, we begin with a review of your goals. Once everything is confirmed, we start surgery by numbing the area with local anesthetic.

The process involves:
1. Designing and creating channels for new hairs.
2. Extracting grafts from the donor area.
3. Placing the grafts into the thinning zones.

Smaller cases can take around 8 hours, while larger transplants may take up to 12 hours. Most patients find it surprisingly relaxing - many watch a film during the procedure.

Aftercare and Recovery

Before you leave, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and a kit to support healing. Dr Clarke personally follows up the next day by phone and again in-clinic after one week to ensure recovery is smooth.

Our aftercare programme is designed to be simple, clear, and supportive - so you can focus on recovery, not worry.

Hair Growth Timeline

After your hair transplant, the new grafts will shed before entering a growth cycle. Here’s what to expect:

• 3 months: early growth begins.
• 6 months: noticeable density.
• 12 months: final results take shape.

Remember, a hair transplant doesn’t stop future hair loss. For ongoing protection, we recommend combining surgery with medical treatments — available through our subscription service for consistent, long-term care.
