What Is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a minimally invasive procedure that relocates healthy hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) to areas affected by thinning or balding.
The transplanted follicles retain their genetic resistance to hair loss, meaning results are designed to be long-term when properly planned and maintained.
Hair transplants can address:
- Receding hairlines
- Crown thinning
- Frontal density loss
- Diffuse thinning (in suitable candidates)

How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost in the UK?
Hair transplant cost in the UK depends on several factors, including the number of grafts required, donor area strength, the area being restored, hairline complexity, treatment technique and whether the case involves scalp, beard or eyebrow restoration.
At Este Medical Group, every quote is personalised after consultation because no two hair restoration plans are the same. Your consultation includes an assessment of your hair loss pattern, donor area, medical suitability, expected graft requirement and realistic outcome.
We recommend avoiding clinics that quote based only on photographs or offer unrealistic fixed-price promises without properly assessing donor area quality and long-term planning.

DHI vs FUE vs FUT hair transplant
| Technique | How it works | Key point |
|---|---|---|
| DHI | Follicles are implanted directly using a specialist implanter tool | Allows precise control of angle, depth and direction |
| FUE | Follicles are extracted individually and implanted into prepared channels | Common modern hair transplant technique |
| FUT | A strip of scalp is removed and dissected into grafts | Can leave a linear scar and is less commonly preferred by some patients |

FAQ's
Is a hair transplant permanent?
Transplanted follicles are taken from donor areas that are usually more resistant to pattern hair loss. Once established, these hairs are designed to grow long term. However, surrounding non-transplanted hair can continue to thin, which is why long-term planning is important.
Who performs the hair transplant?
Hair transplant planning and clinical oversight are led by GMC-registered hair transplant surgeons, including Dr. Ileana Lizzeth Jimenez Andrade, GMC Number 7764470, and Dr. Ilknur Nihal Ardic, GMC Number 7996656.
