A Hair Transplant is one of the most effective and permanent solutions to hair loss. Whether you’re experiencing thinning hair, a receding hairline, or bald spots, this procedure can help you regain a fuller, more youthful appearance. At Westminster Medical Group®, we specialise in advanced Hair transplant techniques that deliver natural, lasting results with minimal discomfort and downtime. Here’s a complete guide on how it works and what you can expect from start to finish.

Understanding the Hair Transplant Process

A Hair Transplant involves transferring healthy hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back or sides of your head) to thinning or balding regions. These transplanted follicles continue to grow naturally for life, creating a permanent and natural-looking result.

The Science Behind Hair Transplant Procedures

Each Hair Transplant works on the principle of donor dominance — meaning the follicles taken from areas resistant to hair loss retain their genetic resilience even after being moved. Once transplanted, they continue to grow normally in their new location, ensuring long-term success.

Step 1: The Initial Consultation

Your Hair Transplant journey begins with a detailed consultation at Westminster Medical Group®. During this stage, our experts will:

• Assess your scalp condition and pattern of hair loss.
• Review your medical history and suitability for surgery.
• Recommend the best Hair Transplant technique (FUE or FUT).
• Discuss your desired results and expected outcomes.

This consultation helps us design a personalised Hair Transplant plan tailored to your goals.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Technique

At Westminster Medical Group®, we offer two main types of Hair Transplant procedures — each suited to different needs and preferences.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

The FUE Hair Transplant method involves extracting individual hair follicles using precision tools and implanting them directly into thinning areas. This technique leaves minimal scarring and ensures quick healing.

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)

The FUT Hair Transplant method involves removing a thin strip of scalp from the donor area, from which healthy follicles are carefully extracted and implanted. This method allows for larger sessions, ideal for patients needing extensive coverage.

Both Hair Transplant options deliver exceptional results when performed by our skilled surgeons at Westminster Medical Group®.

Step 3: The Day of Your Hair Transplant

On the day of your Hair Transplant, you’ll be welcomed into our Harley Street clinic for your procedure. Local anaesthesia ensures your comfort throughout the surgery.

1. Preparation: Your donor and recipient areas are cleaned and marked.
2. Extraction: Hair follicles are harvested using either FUE or FUT techniques.
3. Implantation: The follicles are strategically placed to match your natural growth pattern.
4. Completion: The scalp is treated with care to begin the healing process.

Each Hair Transplant session can last several hours, depending on the number of grafts required, but most patients relax comfortably throughout.

Step 4: Aftercare and Recovery

Following your Hair Transplant, our team provides full aftercare guidance to promote healing and ensure the best results.

• Mild swelling and redness are normal and subside within days.
• Tiny scabs form around grafts and naturally fall away after a week.
• Hair shedding may occur within the first month — a normal part of the growth cycle.
• New growth typically begins within 3–4 months, with visible density improving over 12–18 months.

Our specialists will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and offer any additional advice or treatment as needed.

What to Expect from Your Results

A successful Hair Transplant produces natural growth that blends seamlessly with your existing hair. At Westminster Medical Group®, our surgeons meticulously design your new hairline to suit your facial features, age, and style. Once fully grown, your transplanted hair can be washed, styled, and cut just like the rest of your hair.

Long-Term Hair Transplant Benefits

• Permanent results: Transplanted follicles resist future hair loss.
• Natural appearance: No visible scarring or artificial look.
• Improved confidence: A fuller hairline restores self-esteem and a youthful look.
