Hair Transplant Surgery
Consultation Assessment
All patients must attend a face-to-face consultation prior to treatment.
This includes:
Medical history review
Scalp and hair assessment
Discussion of treatment options
Explanation of expected results and limitations
Review of risks, recovery, and aftercare
Hair transplant procedures are only offered where clinically appropriate.
Patients may be advised against treatment if expectations cannot be met safely.
Aftercare & Follow-Up
Post-procedure care is an essential part of treatment. Patients receive clear aftercare guidance and follow-up support to monitor healing and hair growth.
Conditions Commonly Treated
Male pattern hair loss
Female pattern hair thinning
Receding hairline
Crown thinning
Hair loss following injury or scarring (where appropriate)
A hair transplant involves relocating healthy hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) to areas affected by hair thinning or hair loss. The transplanted follicles continue to grow in their new location, providing a long-term solution for suitable candidates.
Procedures are carried out using recognised techniques such as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), depending on individual clinical assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I suitable for a hair transplant?
Suitability is determined during a face-to-face consultation. Factors such as medical history, pattern of hair loss, donor area quality, and expectations are assessed before any treatment is considered.
Do you offer consultations before treatment?
Yes. All patients must attend an in-person consultation before any hair transplant procedure. This is a mandatory step and allows for proper medical assessment and informed consent.
Is hair transplant surgery safe?
Hair transplant surgery is a medical procedure and carries risks, which are discussed in detail during consultation. At Clinic8, procedures are carried out using recognised techniques and appropriate infection control measures.
Will my results look natural?
Outcomes vary between individuals. During consultation, realistic expectations are discussed, including limitations and long-term considerations. No guaranteed results are offered.
Is the procedure painful?
Local anaesthetic is used to support patient comfort. Sensations during and after the procedure vary between individuals and will be discussed during consultation.
Do you advertise prices online?
No. In line with UK guidance, hair transplant surgery is discussed following consultation only. Pricing and treatment planning are personalised and provided after assessment.
