FUE Hair Transplant Surgery for Men and Women
Hair transplantation is a kind of surgery where hair follicles, which are healthy and located in an area with thick hair (the donor site), are transferred into areas where the hair is sparse or balding. Hair transplantation is usually done when there is an area of baldness that is not going to respond to nonsurgical treatment alone.
At Renew Skin and Health Clinic in Leamington Spa, hair transplant surgery is performed by Dr. Nawal Kishore Jha, GMC registered Cosmetic Physician, GMC No. 5170447, using the FUE technique, priced from £2,500. If you are still exploring non surgical options first, our Hair Loss Treatment page covers that in more detail.

What Is a Hair Transplant?
Hair transplant, which may also be referred to as hair growth surgery, is a procedure whereby healthy hair follicles are transferred from a donor site to areas of the scalp suffering from hair loss. Donor sites include the sides and the back of the scalp. Once the transplanted follicles settle into their new location and heal, they continue to grow hair in the same way they did at the donor site. Hair transplant surgery is most commonly associated with male pattern hair loss, although it can also be a suitable option for some women with a stable, defined pattern of thinning.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Hair Transplant?
Not everyone with hair loss is automatically suitable for surgery. During your hair transplant consultation, Dr. Jha will assess whether you are likely to achieve a good outcome.

You may be a suitable candidate if:
- You can be assured that you have healthy hair growth in the donor area on your scalp
- Your hair loss has settled into a defined pattern, rather than being widespread or actively progressing rapidly
- You are in good general health with realistic expectations of what surgery can achieve
- You have already discussed your hair loss with a specialist and understand the alternatives available
A hair transplant for women can also be appropriate for suitable candidates, though because female hair loss has a wider range of underlying causes, a detailed assessment is carried out first to confirm whether surgery or a non surgical route is the better fit.
FUE Hair Transplant, How the Procedure Works
Renew Skin and Health Clinic conducts hair transplant surgery through the use of follicular unit extraction (FUE), which is an innovative technique that does not have the drawbacks of old techniques such as linear scarring.
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Free Consultation | Dr Jha assesses your pattern of hair loss and your donor area, discusses your goals and confirms whether surgery is suitable for you. You receive a personalised graft estimate and quote. Weekday consultations are complimentary. |
| Medical Assessment and Planning | Your medical history and current medications are reviewed, and pre-procedure blood tests are arranged if needed. Your new hairline and density pattern are planned together, and baseline photographs are taken. |
| Consent and Time to Reflect | Dr Jha explains the risks, realistic results and alternatives, including non-surgical options. Written consent is taken, and you are given time to consider your decision before booking. |
| Pre-Procedure Preparation | You receive written instructions before your procedure day. These typically cover avoiding smoking and alcohol, pausing certain medicines or supplements as advised, washing your hair that morning, wearing a button-up top and arranging a lift home. |
| Procedure Day Preparation | Consent is reconfirmed, photographs are taken, and your hairline is marked. The donor area is trimmed, and the donor and recipient areas are numbed with local anaesthetic so you stay comfortable throughout. |
| Donor Extraction | Individual follicles are removed one by one from the back and sides of the scalp. This leaves tiny dot-like marks that usually heal well and are concealed by surrounding hair. |
| Graft Preparation | Extracted grafts are sorted and kept in a protective solution, with care taken to preserve their natural growth angle. |
| Implantation | Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area, and each graft is placed to recreate a natural-looking hairline and density. |
| Discharge and Aftercare | You go home the same day with an aftercare kit, any prescribed medication, written aftercare instructions and 24/7 access to our clinical team. |
| Follow-Up Reviews | An early review checks healing and guides your first wash. Further appointments track your progress over the following 12 months. |
The full procedure typically takes several hours in a single session, depending on the number of grafts required.
Is a Hair Transplant Permanent?
A hair transplant is designed to be a long term, permanent solution, because the relocated follicles are usually taken from an area naturally resistant to the process that causes pattern hair loss. Once healed, transplanted hair generally continues to grow for the rest of your life in the same way as the hair around it. Transplanted hair typically sheds within the first few weeks after surgery before regrowing, which is a normal part of healing. As with any surgical procedure, results are not guaranteed and vary from patient to patient depending on individual healing, donor hair quality and how closely aftercare guidance is followed.
Hair Transplant Results and Recovery Timeline
Hair transplant results take time to develop, as transplanted follicles need to settle, shed and then begin regrowing. The table below is a general guide, and individual healing times vary.
| What to Expect | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Days 1 to 3 | Mild swelling, redness and small scabs are normal. You sleep semi-upright and wash your hair as instructed. |
| Days 7 to 14 | Scabs fall away and the donor area settles. Most patients return to work and light activity within this period. |
| Weeks 2 to 4 | Avoid strenuous exercise, swimming and direct sun on the scalp, as advised by your doctor. |
| Weeks 2 to 8 | Transplanted hairs usually shed, which is a normal part of healing. |
| Months 3 to 4 | New hair growth begins to appear. |
| Months 6 to 9 | Density and coverage improve noticeably. |
| Months 12 to 18 | The final result is usually visible, though crown results can take longer. |
Your dedicated aftercare team remains available throughout your recovery to answer any questions.
Hair Transplant Cost
The pricing of a hair transplant will be based on the number of grafts needed, density required, size of the area to be treated, and complexity of your situation.
| Procedure | Details and Pricing |
|---|---|
| FUE Hair Transplant | From £2,500 to £6,000, depending on the number of grafts required, hair density needed, donor area availability and the overall extent of hair loss |
| Hair Transplant Consultation | Weekday consultations are complimentary, weekend consultations are £75 |
Every hair transplant treatment plan begins with a detailed consultation, so you receive a clear, personalised cost estimate before deciding whether to proceed. Results are never guaranteed and can vary between patients. To view our full pricing, please visit our Price List page.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is a hair transplant?
Hair transplant is done by removing healthy hair from the back or sides of the scalp where hair density is highest and then transplanting it in those regions where there is hair thinning or baldness.
2. How does a hair transplant work?
Using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, we remove tiny groups of hairs one at a time from the donor area. Each one is then placed into a small incision in the thinning area, at the angle and direction in which your own hair grows, so the result looks natural. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you stay awake but comfortable.
3. Is a hair transplant permanent?
In most cases, yes. Hair at the sides and back of the scalp is naturally resistant to the hormone that causes pattern baldness, so it keeps growing after it has been moved. The transplanted hairs typically fall out within the first few weeks. This is a normal stage of healing, and fresh hair then grows from the same roots.
4. How much does a hair transplant cost?
The price varies with the number of grafts you need and the size of the area being treated. At Renew Skin and Health Clinic, treatment ranges from £2,500 to £6,000. We will give you an exact figure, tailored to you, at your consultation.
5. Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant?
Surgery tends to suit people who have enough healthy hair in the donor area and whose hair loss has slowed or levelled off, rather than one that is still advancing quickly. Dr Jha will examine your scalp at your consultation and advise whether a transplant is right for you.
6. Can women have a hair transplant?
Yes, some women are suitable candidates. It depends on having a reliable donor area and a pattern of hair loss that responds well to surgery. We check both through a thorough clinical assessment before recommending treatment.
7. When will I see the results of my hair transplant?
Falling of the transferred hair during the initial weeks after surgery is a natural process involved in the healing process and should not be considered as failure of the procedure. Hair growth usually starts after 3-4 months, and most people achieve the full effect within 10 to 12 months.
