Hair Transplant Clinic Prices across the UK

The cost of hair transplant surgery in the UK has become far more competitive over the last decade, particularly in cities such as Manchester where reputable clinics now offer transparent, fixed pricing structures. At My Hair UK, we’ve observed a clear shift in patient behaviour: more people are choosing to stay in the UK for treatment instead of travelling abroad. This shift is driven not only by improved affordability but by increasing awareness of the clinical standards, aftercare and continuity that UK-based clinics provide.

At our Manchester clinic, the cost of your procedure is based on the number of grafts required, not on an hourly rate or vague consultation estimate. This allows you to make informed decisions without the uncertainty of hidden charges. As of 2025, the average cost for a procedure involving up to 1,000 grafts — typically suitable for early-stage hairline recession — is £2,899. For 2,000 grafts, commonly used in patients with frontal and crown thinning, the total cost is £3,699. A larger session involving 3,000 grafts, which can restore a more extensive area of loss, is priced at £4,499. For those requiring even more coverage, up to 3,500 grafts can be performed in a single day for £4,899. These rates are fixed across our UK clinics and include everything: your pre-operative consultation, the day of surgery, anaesthetic, post-op care products, and all review appointments.

What patients often overlook is the real cost of going abroad for a cheaper procedure. On the surface, Turkish clinics may advertise 3,000 grafts for less than £2,000. But this figure rarely includes flights, hotel accommodation, meals, translation services, or transport to and from the clinic. In addition, you’ll often find no provision for long-term aftercare, and no medical recourse if something goes wrong. The final cost, once all expenses are accounted for, may not be much lower than staying in the UK — but the clinical risks are far greater. We frequently treat patients in Manchester who return from overseas with uneven hairlines, poor density, or visible scarring. Corrective procedures are more complex and expensive than a well-planned first procedure.

An evidence-based approach is critical when evaluating where to have surgery. A study published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery  reviewed factors contributing to long-term transplant success. It found that consistent surgical technique, appropriate graft handling, and structured follow-up were the most important predictors of a successful outcome. These are all areas where My Hair UK excels. Every procedure is performed by GMC-registered doctors trained in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), the gold standard in modern hair restoration. We do not use outdated strip methods or robotic systems. Each patient receives careful planning, personalised treatment, and detailed aftercare.

A key reason why our patients choose the My Hair UK Manchester clinic is the reassurance of continuity. You know who your surgeon is, and you’ll see them again for follow-up appointments at six and twelve months. If there are any concerns — even months later — you can speak to the same medical team. This level of accountability is absent from many overseas clinics, where once you leave the country, ongoing support is rarely available.

From a regulatory standpoint, My Hair UK operates under the guidance of the Care Quality Commission (CQC), meaning all aspects of your care — from infection control to consent — meet strict NHS-level standards. In Turkey or elsewhere, clinics may not be subject to any national healthcare regulation. For a procedure involving thousands of tiny incisions and hundreds of follicular units being implanted, this lack of oversight carries genuine risks.

Our pricing reflects the quality and time involved in delivering a safe, natural, and long-lasting result. Hair transplants are not cosmetic shortcuts. They are minor surgical procedures that require planning, experience, and post-operative support. We price our work accordingly — not to compete with unregulated clinics abroad, but to ensure that every patient receives care that is safe, medically led, and tailored to their needs.

If you’re considering a hair transplant and live in or near Manchester, the most cost-effective decision may no longer be to travel abroad. With clinics like ours offering procedures starting at under £3,000, you now have the option of undergoing surgery locally — with a team that understands British medical standards, hair types, and expectations. The real value lies not just in the price you pay on the day, but in the long-term outcome, the support you receive, and the confidence you gain when your results begin to grow.
