At My Hair UK we see a lot of people coming in with the same questions and the same worries about hair transplant surgery. The clinic is fully focused on follicular unit extraction, which is the method most people prefer now because it avoids the long scar you see with older techniques. What makes a big difference here is that every case is planned carefully, and we keep the number of surgeries each day low so patients get proper attention. When someone first comes to us, we sit down and go through their scalp in detail, check the donor area at the back and sides, and talk through what sort of result is realistic. We use digital planning tools, including three dimensional mapping, to look at how the hairline will sit and how many grafts will be needed. The aim is always to make sure expectations are realistic before anything happens. After the procedure, patients are given written advice on how to wash their hair, what to avoid, and when they can expect normal shedding and regrowth. Follow up appointments are part of the process so nobody is left wondering if their recovery is on track.One of the myths that still comes up is that hair transplants are just for men. That is not the case. Women also lose hair through genetic thinning, hormonal changes, traction from hairstyles, or scarring, and provided there is a good donor supply, surgery can work very well. Studies in women show outcomes that are just as successful as in men when the surgery is done properly. Another myth is that the hair eventually falls out. The truth is the grafts are taken from areas resistant to the hormone dihydrotestosterone, the main culprit in male and female pattern loss. Those follicles are permanent. Patients do need to know about shock loss, which is the temporary shedding of transplanted hair in the first few months, but regrowth follows, and the full effect is usually clear by the end of the first year. People also still worry that a transplant will look obvious. That idea usually comes from seeing older procedures where big plugs of hair were moved around. With modern extraction, each follicle is placed on its own, and the angle, spacing, and density are matched to what is already there. When it is done by an experienced surgeon, you cannot pick out the transplant from the natural hair. Cost is another area full of misunderstanding. In the UK a procedure usually falls between three and seven thousand pounds, depending on the number of grafts and complexity. Some patients look abroad, often to Turkey, because the price is lower. What they do not always realise is that many overseas clinics are poorly regulated and the surgery may be done by technicians rather than doctors. This can lead to patchy results or long term damage to the donor area. A cheaper transplant that fails or causes harm is not good value in the end. That is why at My Hair UK we are very open about pricing, with no hidden charges. Patients get a clear breakdown before anything is booked, and finance options are available to spread the cost. The main difference between a rushed, low cost procedure and a carefully managed transplant is not just the hairline you walk away with, but also the long term safety of your donor supply. Once donor follicles are taken they cannot grow back, so wasting them on poor quality surgery is a mistake. For that reason we keep the focus on doing fewer procedures to a very high standard, supported by proper follow up care. Hair transplants are not about a quick fix but about creating lasting, natural results that blend seamlessly with your own hair.
