Many people — especially men experiencing male pattern baldness — find that their hairline recedes over the years, ageing them prematurely and making them self-conscious.A hairline transplant restores the hair along your forehead and temples, making you look younger and feel more confident. Using modern hair transplant techniques, surgeons can give you a natural, age-appropriate hairline that suits you. If you’re experiencing hair loss at the top of your head, a crown hair transplant may be more appropriate.How does a hairline transplant work?Hairline transplants can be performed with both FUE and FUT techniques. Both procedures involve removing hair from your donor area (an area on the back or side of your scalp where hair follicles are growing healthily) and implanting it in the gaps along your frontal hairline.Both procedures rely on you having healthy hair in your donor area. So a hairline transplant isn’t appropriate for people with certain hair loss conditions, such as alopecia areata. The key difference between FUT and FUE is in how the hair grafts are harvested. FUT involves extracting a strip of skin and cutting it into individual grafts, while in FUE, the grafts are removed one-by-one.Why choose a hairline transplant?A hairline transplant creates a full, flattering hairline across your forehead — so it’s one of the most popular hair transplant procedures.

Is it the right time to get a hairline transplant? A hairline transplant can be performed at any time, as long as you’re eligible and have enough hair in your donor area.However, depending on how much your hairline has receded, we may recommend alternative non-surgical hair loss treatments such as laser regrowth therapy to restore your hairline first. These can offer excellent results if you use them early enough.Find out when it’s too early for a hair transplant or too late for a hair transplant. 2. How painful is a hairline transplant? A hairline transplant is a surgical procedure, so you can expect a little discomfort. However, most patients report that the procedure is less painful than they expected.A combination of local anaesthetic, mild sedatives, and over-the-counter painkillers will help reduce and manage any pain during and after the procedure. 3. When will the results of my hairline transplant be visible? As soon as the grafts are implanted, you’ll see the outline of your new hairline. The scabs fall off within a few weeks, and it’ll then take around 6 months to start seeing results. Final results are visible approximately a year to 18 months after surgery. 4. Does a hairline transplant last? Yes. Hair transplants are permanent, so you should see lifelong results from your procedure. Using supplementary non-surgical treatments like Minoxidil helps you manage any ongoing hair loss. For men Finasteride is also applicable. 5. Is a hairline transplant suitable for women? Yes. If you’re unhappy with your hairline — whether it’s uneven or too high — a hair transplant can be the right choice for women, too. Learn more about female hair transplants. Book A Free Consultation How much does a hairline transplant cost? The cost of your hairline transplant depends on which technique you choose and how many hair grafts you need. At the Wimpole Clinic, hair transplant prices start at £3,499 for both FUT and FUE, with the former often being slightly more expensive.

Matt was great, he took his time explaining the procedure and answering all my questions leaving me feeling very reassured knowing exactly what I will expect to gain from the transplant.On the day of the operation I met surgeon Dr Ahmad Moussa. Ahmad was more than happy to take his time in making sure I was satisfied with my new hairline, tweaking and making changes to suit what I would like but also putting forward what he believes would be best from his knowledge and experience.Once I was happy everything was a go. The team at Wimpole clinic are great, everyone who I encountered was very friendly and really made me feel like I was truly in the best hands.My procedure involved FUE treatment with 2500 grafts on my hair line, temples and mid scalp region.I am more than excited to see the results I cant thank Matt Devlin, Dr Ahmad Moussa and the rest of the team enough they have really made this experience a good one.If you would like to get a hair transplant then this is the best place for you.

Procedure FAQs 1. Can I choose what my hairline will look like? Hairline design is part of the hair transplant process. We’ll work with you to create a hairline that suits you and boosts your confidence. We’re honest about the results you can expect based on the extent of your hair loss and the health of your donor hair. Aggressive hairline design can look unnatural, and often leads to disappointment. So while we’d love your input on your hairline, we won’t attempt to create a hairline that’s unrealistic. 2. How long will my transplant take? Hair transplant surgery takes up to a day to complete. In some rare cases, you may need to visit the clinic for more than one session. But most procedures take 4-8 hours, so you’ll usually be done within a day. Note that FUE typically takes longer than FUT, but also has a shorter recovery time. 3. How long is recovery and will I need to take time off work? It generally takes less time to recover from FUE than FUT, since FUT leaves a larger wound that needs time to heal. If you have FUE, you should take at least 2-3 days off work. With FUT you should take at least a week off to recover.Learn more about recovering from a hair transplant and going to work after a hair transplant. 4. How many grafts will I need to fill in my hairline? The number of grafts you need depends on how much your hairline has receded. Find out how many hair grafts you’ll need for your hairline transplant. 5. Do I need to shave my head? No. At the Wimpole Clinic, we use an unshaven FUE technique (UFUE) which means most of your hair can stay intact while we perform the procedure. You don’t need to shave your head for FUT. 6. Are there any hairline transplant side effects? Most hair transplant patients experience a few mild to moderate side effects after surgery. This includes swelling, soreness, redness, and itchiness as the scabs start to heal. Find out more about the side effects of a hair transplant. 7. How can I maintain my new hairline? Following your surgeon’s aftercare advice is essential. They may advise you to use Minoxidil or another solution to prevent additional hair loss after your procedure. You should also take care of your hair, and avoid bleaching or other harsh styling practices. Josh Rawle's Hairline Transplant Review I first read about The Wimpole Clinic online and wanted to talk to them as I was unsure as to what I wanted. After having a video consultation with James, I decided to go ahead and have the FUE procedure. This was carried out by Dr May. From the moment I arrived I was looked after incredibly well and made to feel very comfortable. James even took my lunch order for when the procedure was complete. We went through a very thorough process of deciding my new hairline and made changes until I was 100% happy. The experience was pain free and the after care has been fantastic. I was given everything I needed to carry out the aftercare at home. I contacted James whenever I was unsure about something or just to check in on my progress. Even now, nearly 9 months on I’m in regular contact with James at the clinic. Life changing results too with more still to come. I could not recommend The Wimpole Clinic more!

As my hairline receded I considered this for a few years and I’m glad I found Wimpole. It was a very easy process to book in for the surgery. The patient advisor James was very helpful and supportive.The surgeon and the team on the day were brilliant. Considering the procedure I found the day to be quite easy. Obviously the first few days after are less enjoyable with the structure and routine to follow, but it’s a critical part of the process.
