Over the course of recent years, the technique of hair restoration surgery has developed enormously. Hair grafts have become increasingly smaller and refined, changing from 15 to 25 hair grafts to as small as one and two hair grafts. Modern transplant techniques performed by a skilled doctor can produce quite natural looking results, which are often indistinguishable from normal hair. The donor hair needs to be first taken from an appropriate area of your skin where the hairs are quite thick. Once collected, the individual grafts can be prepared by a team of trained technicians; these grafts can be as tiny as using only one or two hairs. The patients scalp is anaesthetised and the grafts are then placed into tiny incisions in the skin. The process of graft insertion can take many hours; and depending on the extent of original hair loss, degree of correction required and type of procedure, you may need to return for further procedures to obtain a good aesthetic result. Most successful transplants take from between 1 and 2 years to complete. Private costs for hair transplantation range from approximately £1,000 - £10,000 as they tend to be based on the number and type of grafts transplanted, along with the amount you require.

Sarah Thomas, London
"I had a two day FUE hair transplant with Dr Reddy at The Private Clinic of Harley Street last week.
I’m very impressed with Dr Reddy’s Team who were very professional and have 10 years experience together. I chose Dr Reddy because of him and his Team.
I can’t thank Dr Reddy, Shiva and Umar enough for what they have done for me and my confidence. I can now see why they are the best at what they do.
I had been searching for a clinic for many many years and after so much research and consultations with other clinics I knew as soon as I met Dr Reddy I knew he was the surgeon for me.
It has been one week since the start of my procedure and results are phenomenal.
Finally I’d like to thank the Clinic Manager, Alicia who was also extremely helpful in organising consultations and direct with calls with Dr Reddy’s Team for advice and encouragement. Alicia is always there to talk to and has the patients at the heart of what she does."

"Scalp micro-pigmentation is the best thing that has happened to me and I would recommend this to anyone who has thinning hair or hair loss! As soon as I realised this treatment was available I had to have it done. It was not the fact my hair was thin that bothered me, it was the fact that when the wind blew you could see so much white scalp. I had tried shampoo, lotions and even coloured sprinkles. But they either didn''t work or couldn''t be used when my hair was wet. Even after the first treatment, I was amazed at the difference and had gained so much confidence when walking down the street in a breeze. I no longer check in shop windows to make sure my fringe is straight with no gaps, I don''t even give it a second thought now. I can now go to any hairdressers and not have to explain why I wear my hair a certain way and can go swimming without the fear of dark dye running through the water or trickling from my scalp. Thank you."

"I was very impressed with the thoroughness of my consultation and how knowledgeable the consultant was about hair loss and the broader solutions available. I had previously seen another well known SMP clinic when I was in The States, but they didn't really ask me the right questions and get to the bottom of what I really wanted. It was only when I saw Anouska at HAIR ink, who really took the time and effort to understand my hair loss history and understand my concerns regarding my hairline, that I had the confidence to proceed with scalp micro-pigmentation and was confident that I would get the look I really wanted and the hairline I would be happy with. I have had previous transplant surgeries, but really wanted to lower my hairline and had been told I wouldn't have enough donor hair for the thickness I wanted. I’ve had HPT® to fill in the gaps and give more density. It's perfect, having the grafts and the HPT® looks really natural. I got the hairline I wanted and am really, really happy with the results. Can’t recommend this treatment enough to anyone who maybe in a similar position and looking to improve the results of their surgery."
