Hair loss is a common concern for both men and women, and it can have a significant impact on how you feel about your appearance. If you’re based in Gillingham and looking for a solution to restore your hair, a hair transplant may be the answer. At My Hair UK, we offer affordable, high-quality hair restoration services that can help you regain your confidence. In this article, we will outline the costs associated with hair transplants in Gillingham, the factors that influence pricing, and why My Hair UK is the right choice for your hair restoration journey.
How Much Does A Hair Transplant Cost In Gillingham?
Our hair transplant prices for Gillingham patients start from just £2,499 and vary depending on several factors. At My Hair UK, we believe in providing full transparency about the cost breakdown so you can make an informed decision.
For Gillingham residents our nearest surgical clinic is in Harrow. So if you live in Rainham, Wigmore, Hempstead or Parkwood then leave behind the scenic views of Riverside Country Park and Upnor Castle and book a free consultation with our Trichology team either in-person or via video call to begin your hair restoration journey.
Here are the key elements that influence the cost of a hair transplant:
Extent of Hair Loss
The severity of your hair loss is a primary factor in determining the cost. If you have mild thinning or a receding hairline, you may need fewer grafts, which will lower the cost. On the other hand, significant hair loss or large bald areas will require more grafts, and therefore, a higher price. The more grafts needed, the longer the procedure will take, which can increase costs.
The FUE Method
At My Hair UK, we specialise in FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), which is the most advanced hair restoration method available. This technique involves extracting individual hair follicles and transplanting them to the thinning or balding areas of your scalp. Although FUE is slightly more expensive than older methods, such as FUT, it offers the benefit of minimal scarring, quicker recovery times, and natural-looking results.
Number of Grafts Required
The number of grafts you need will be assessed during your consultation. The number of grafts will depend on how much hair restoration is required. Some patients only need a few hundred grafts for smaller areas, while others may need several thousand grafts to achieve full coverage. As the number of grafts increases, so does the cost of the procedure. The procedure’s complexity and duration will also contribute to the overall cost.
Clinic Expertise and Location
The experience of the surgeon performing your hair transplant is an important factor that impacts cost. At My Hair UK, our surgeons are highly skilled and specialise in FUE hair transplants, ensuring the best possible results for you. The location of the clinic also plays a role in pricing. While clinics in central London may have higher fees due to increased operational costs, we offer competitive pricing at both our London and Manchester clinics, making hair transplants more accessible to patients in Gillingham.
Post-operative Care
Aftercare is essential to ensuring your hair transplant is successful. At My Hair UK, post-operative care is included in the overall cost of the procedure. We provide follow-up appointments and clear instructions on how to care for your hair to ensure optimal growth. Proper aftercare helps prevent complications and ensures that your transplanted hair grows as expected.
