Harley Street Hair Transplants London

FUE hair transplantation involves extracting suitable follicular units individually from the donor area, usually the back and sides of the scalp, and placing them into areas affected by hair loss.

Treatment may involve the frontal hairline, temples, mid-scalp or crown. Because the grafts are removed individually, FUE avoids the permanent linear donor scar associated with FUT.

Donor density, hair calibre and future hair loss still need to be considered carefully so excessive harvesting does not visibly reduce density at the back and sides.

Beard transplantation uses suitable donor follicles to improve coverage through the beard, moustache, jawline or sideburn areas.

Natural-looking facial-hair restoration depends heavily on design and on placing the grafts at the correct angle and direction so they follow the patient's existing beard growth.

Donor-hair characteristics are also considered so transplanted follicles work naturally with the surrounding facial hair.

Eyebrow transplantation transfers carefully selected donor follicles into areas requiring additional brow shape or density.

Single-hair follicular units are particularly important when creating the eyebrow outline and outer border.

Implantation angle is critical because eyebrow hairs grow much flatter against the skin than scalp hair and need to follow the natural direction of the brow.

DHI normally combines individual follicular-unit extraction with placement using an implanter device.

This allows control over graft depth, angle and direction during implantation. Whether DHI is appropriate depends on the recipient area, donor characteristics and overall treatment plan.

FUT removes a narrow strip of hair-bearing scalp from the donor area before the strip is divided into individual follicular-unit grafts for transplantation.

FUT leaves a permanent linear donor scar but may still be appropriate for selected patients depending on donor supply, scalp laxity and graft requirements.

Crown transplantation restores thinning through the vertex while following the patient's natural crown or whorl pattern.

Crown size, available donor supply and future progression need careful consideration because this area can require a substantial number of grafts.

Hair restoration can address the frontal hairline, temples, scalp or facial hair according to the individual's existing growth pattern, donor supply and treatment goals.

PRP is a non-surgical treatment in which a blood sample is processed to prepare platelet-rich plasma before it is introduced into selected areas of thinning hair.

PRP does not move donor follicles and therefore cannot physically rebuild an absent hairline in the way transplantation can.
