two more areas
Beard and eyebrow transplants
It is not only about the scalp. The same grafts from the back of the head, the same FUE method — just the area changes.
Beard transplant
The FUE method, no incisions used
Grafts taken from the back of the head, the donor area, move through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, with no scars left. The doctor discusses the shape with you before the operation, taking your facial features into account. The hair grows for life once transplanted; the beard can be trimmed and styled as usual.
The eyebrow shape is drawn by the surgeon at the initial consultation; references are looked through together and the design takes your facial features into account. The hairs are implanted at the right angle, so the eyebrows look natural, and it helps where plucking stopped hair growth.
The doctor looks at your donor area, counts the grafts and shows what result is achievable in your case. The price is named at the consultation and fixed in the contract.

I am sharing my experience, because before the operation I went through a pile of reviews myself and was looking for real stories.
I had a beard transplant six months ago. Honestly, in the first days after the procedure I felt a little jittery: my face looked unfamiliar, there was slight swelling and small scabs. In the first couple of months the hair partly fell out, as the doctor had warned.
But now the result truly makes me very happy) From about the 4th month active, even growth began. The transplanted hair took very well, the beard now looks as natural as possible, no bald patches are left. The beard became much thicker and denser, with the shape I had thought about for a long time.
All in all, I recommend the clinic, the doctor was polite and explained everything 👍
The result is definitely worth it!

Frequent questions
We share what people ask before booking
People often say hair implants, but no artificial hair is used. In a hair transplant the doctor moves your own follicles (grafts) from the donor area to thinning or bald areas using FUE or DHI.
Yes. The clinic works with patients from other cities and countries, and an online consultation is available first.
FUE: $2,200 (≈ £1,700). DHI: $2,500 (≈ £1,900). Combined: $2,700 (≈ £2,050). A free consultation and graft count gives you the final, contract-fixed price with no hidden extras.
The surgery takes a single day, and you go home the same day.
It helps with stable pattern hair loss and a receding hairline when there are enough donor grafts. Some types of alopecia need treatment first; the doctor checks this at the consultation.
The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, so it's painless.
With FUE, grafts are taken by tweezer with no incisions. With DHI, grafts are implanted directly using a Choi pen, without pre-made channels. The combined method mixes FUE harvesting with DHI implantation.
At the free consultation, the doctor counts the grafts you need according to your donor area.
Expect 0–10 days to heal, then normal shedding of transplanted hairs at 2–4 weeks. Growth begins around 3–4 months, density builds by 6–9 months, and the final look appears at 12–18 months.
Your procedure includes a lifetime hair-growth guarantee under contract.

A hair transplant that fits an ordinary life in Birmingham
Nothing about FUE and DHI changes for a patient in Birmingham: no cuts, no stitches, local anaesthesia, and a single day for the operation itself. Graft survival is 98-100 %, and a price starting at $2,200 (≈ £1,700) is fixed in the contract after a free graft count.
Nothing has to be arranged in advance to start in Birmingham. The online consultation is free: the doctor studies photos of the thinning area and counts the grafts needed. The clinic is in touch 24/7, so you write when it suits you.
Healing runs 0-10 days and the transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks, a stage that surprises only the unprepared. Growth returns at 3-4 months, density at 6-9, the final result at 12-18. Check-ups at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, photo tracking with a personal coordinator, lifetime growth guarantee.

Hair Transplant in Birmingham: questions patients ask
When will my hair transplant be ready for an important date?
Healing takes up to 10 days, then the transplanted hairs shed at 2–4 weeks. New growth starts at 3–4 months, density comes at 6–9 months and the final result at 12–18 months.
Is an online hair transplant consultation possible for patients in Birmingham?
Yes, and it is free. You send your details and answer a few questions about your health; the doctor reviews them and explains the options and the cost.
Can I book a hair transplant consultation for a specific date?
Yes. Send us the date you have in mind on WhatsApp or Telegram. The first consultation is free, and you can start it online with the photos and details you send; the clinic then confirms the nearest available dates for the consultation and the operation before you plan anything.
Which photos do I need to send for a graft count?
Clear photos of the hairline from the front, the top, the crown and the donor area at the back of the head, plus your age and whether you have had a transplant before. The doctor counts the grafts from them, and the price is fixed in the contract.
How long is recovery after a hair transplant?
The transplant itself is a one-day procedure under local anaesthesia. Healing runs 0–10 days, and the doctor sets the check-ups.
Three public lookups to finish before a deposit moves
Birmingham counted 1,176,960 residents in 2025, and any of them can put the same plain questions to a clinic before paying it. For England, the NHS guidance on choosing who will do a cosmetic procedure points to three places to look: the individual surgeon, the premises and the professional associations. Each of them has a public page where the check can be made from a phone.
Start with the individual. The NHS says cosmetic surgery in England is something only a registered doctor may perform, and the General Medical Council publishes an online register of them. Ask for the full name of whoever would operate, then enter it in that register yourself rather than trusting a screenshot a clinic sends over. One detail helps here: the surgeon who talks to you at the consultation is, by the clinic's own rule, the one in the operating room. You are aiming for a single name that reads identically in the chat, in the contract and on the register.
Next, the premises. The NHS website says that an independent hospital or clinic providing cosmetic surgery in England has to be registered with the CQC, the care regulator for England, and that you may ask to see the registration certificate. The regulator runs a search tool called Find a healthcare clinic. Each entry carries the latest inspection report with ratings, the names of the people responsible for running the service and contact details. When you compare options, ask every clinic which register applies to it, then read what that register actually shows.
Third comes the professional body. The NHS names BAAPS and BAPRAS as examples and explains that such associations check the qualifications, experience and insurance of their members. BAPRAS runs a Find a Member directory, a Find a Unit directory and a public information hub for patients. Treat any name you find there as the start of your own questions. Some surgeons also hold the cosmetic surgery certificate issued by the Royal College of Surgeons, which is another item worth asking about.
Alongside the public registers sits the clinic's own paperwork. It operates under a medical licence, and its doctors' diplomas and certificates are open to inspection ahead of payment. Request those documents inside the very message that asks for the surgeon's name. Ask for all of it in one message.
What the NHS expects a consultation to explain
The NHS guidance on choosing who will do your procedure is more than a list of credentials. It describes what the conversation itself should contain. The practitioner should explain how the operation is performed, how long it lasts and whether an anaesthetic is needed. Then comes the aftermath: how much pain to expect, how long recovery takes, the risks and complications, how long a result lasts and what you will look like when it is over.
Two further rules in that guidance are worth saving on your phone. After the consultation the practitioner should give you time to decide whether to go ahead, and you can ask for information to take away and read at home. The guidance also says not to pay for a procedure until a consultation has established that it is right for you, and it lists things to avoid: group treatments, vouchers sold online on group-discount sites, mobile services in private homes or hotels, and practitioners who advertise only on social media. A transplant fits that sequence well: a free first conversation, a personal plan at the end of it, and a date held only if you decide to leave a deposit, paid by card at the clinic or online and written into a contract for medical services.
Turn the NHS questions into hair-specific ones. Which technique is planned for my scalp, and why that one? Classic FUE takes grafts with forceps without incisions or stitches. DHI implants through a Choi pen, so channels do not have to be cut first. A combined protocol extracts by one and implants by the other and is described as a route to densifying areas affected by androgenetic alopecia. Ask the doctor to name the method in writing, and to say what would make that choice change.
The anaesthetic question has a short answer here: local anaesthesia, with the numbing done before the first graft is moved. The operation takes a single day, and afterwards you go home. Ask when the tests are scheduled and what they include, because the clinic lists the required examinations in advance and helps with completing them.
Finally, ask who stays with you afterwards. A personal coordinator follows each patient from the first message through recovery, answers on WhatsApp or Telegram around the clock, and collects the photographs you send as things change.
Two written opinions on one table
Plenty of people arrive at this stage with two answers in hand, from two clinics or from a clinic and an acquaintance who has been through it. A calm way to weigh them is to set both on one sheet and score the gaps rather than the charm. Keep the rows identical for each: diagnosis, method, graft count, donor area, doctor, inclusions, follow-up.
The diagnosis row matters most. Thinning of the androgenetic or diffuse kind, bald zones and a retreating frontal edge count as sound grounds to go ahead. The grounds to stop are written down as well, and they include an implanted pacemaker, epilepsy, diabetes, cancer, a pulmonary embolism, hepatitis B or C, HIV, a heart condition of the serious kind, anaesthetic intolerance, an age below 18, trichotillomania and body dysmorphic disorder. Should one opinion say yes while another says no, what you need from each is the reason in writing, not a vote.
Grafts come second. Counting them requires a doctor who has looked at your donor zone, meaning the back of the head or the temples, and who can describe what is realistically achievable. A number tossed out in a messenger before anyone has examined your scalp is a guess. The count that matters should appear in the contract, since the sum is fixed there once the counting is done.
Inclusions are the next row. This clinic's package covers bandages and healing checks, a plan for looking after both the grafted and donor areas, instructions on shampooing, rest and what to wear on the head, a route back to sport and normal hair care, a coordinator you can message with photos, and review visits at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Where a rival quote says nothing on one of these points, find out whether the service lacks it or only the document does.
Percentages for graft survival and ratings for tissue trauma deserve caution wherever they appear. The clinic itself calls its own figures averages offered as a guide, shaped by the area treated and by features specific to you, with exact numbers explained by the doctor in person. A bare percentage presented with none of those caveats calls for a follow-up question.
One more row is useful: the line you would not cross. You might write that you will not sign at the first meeting, will not pay before seeing the contract, and will not agree to an operator you have not been introduced to. Write it down before the call.
Why the NHS route is closed, and how to plan around that
A question that comes up often is whether a GP referral could pay for a transplant. The NHS website answers that the health service does not routinely offer cosmetic surgery and that people who want it generally pay themselves. It lists occasional exceptions: breast enlargement for very uneven or absent breasts causing significant psychological distress, nose reshaping for breathing problems, ear correction, and breast reduction for women or for men with long-standing gynaecomastia. Hair restoration does not appear among them.
In practical terms, that means your budgeting begins and ends with a private contract. The clinic offers instalments for those who prefer them and records the sum in the contract once the grafts have been counted. If you want a view on a hair loss problem that has a medical cause, a GP is the right person to ask, separately from any decision about surgery.
The contract is also the place where you can see whether the clinic's promises are written down. The clinic describes a long period of support, from preparation through a twelve-month follow-up. Ask for that to be stated in the document in words you could quote back to them. Photos you send during recovery become part of your own file, so keep copies of every message exchange.
A year and a half in a notebook
Hair grows slowly, and memory from the second month is a poor witness. A plain notebook or a phone album does better. Decide before surgery what you will record, and decide on the same few angles every time: top, front, sides, back.
Five stages make up the recovery map. Roughly the first ten days bring shedding of crusts and the fading of swelling. Weeks two to four are when the implanted hairs drop out, which is expected, because the follicle itself remains in the skin. Fresh growth begins at months three to four, thickness comes back across months six to nine, and the finished look, with full density and a natural edge, belongs to months twelve to eighteen.
Enter the review visits in your diary the day you book them: after one, three, six, nine and twelve months. After each, jot down what the doctor said, which instructions changed and what you forgot to ask. Send identical photographs to your coordinator every time, so the doctor has a like-for-like comparison.
If month five makes you doubt that anything is happening, open the notebook and compare it with the stage list. Should it show something unexpected, send it that same day, since a coordinator can be reached at any hour.
Where can I look up a doctor who works in England?
The General Medical Council keeps an online register. The NHS states that only registered doctors can carry out cosmetic surgery in England. Get the surgeon's full name from the clinic and check it against the register entry before any money changes hands.
Can I ask to see a clinic's CQC registration?
Yes. The NHS website says you can ask an independent clinic providing cosmetic surgery in England to show its registration certificate. The CQC search tool also publishes the latest inspection report and ratings for each entry.
What do BAAPS and BAPRAS do?
They are professional associations of surgeons. The NHS says such bodies check the qualifications, experience and insurance of their members. BAPRAS lists members and units in public directories.
Is there a way to see a doctor's training before I commit?
The clinic shows doctors' diplomas and certificates before payment, and it states that it holds a medical licence. Ask for copies in writing together with the surgeon's full name.
Can the NHS contribute towards a transplant?
The NHS says it does not routinely offer cosmetic surgery, and the exceptions it names do not include hair restoration. A GP can discuss your own circumstances.
How long should I take to decide?
The NHS says the practitioner should give you time to decide after a consultation, and you can ask for information to take away. Nothing is booked at the free first conversation, so there is no reason to rush.
What if my second opinion disagrees with the first?
Ask both sides for the written reason. The method, the graft count and the donor area should each be stated, and the doctor can explain what drives any difference.
Which photographs should I take for a first online review?
Shots of each thinning zone taken from above, in front, at both sides and from behind, with a line saying when the loss started. Your coordinator hands the set to a doctor, and nothing is charged for the opinion.
