FUE Hair Transplant Surgery
Manchester - Bury
Natural-looking hair transplants planned by a doctor, not a sales team.
Hair transplant surgery should be medically planned, not sold. At The Rejuvenation Doctors, Dr Jamie assesses your hair loss pattern, donor area, expectations and long-term risk before recommending FUE surgery.
We help men with receding hairlines, temple recession, thinning crowns and male pattern hair loss achieve natural-looking results with realistic graft planning and structured aftercare.
What is FUE hair transplant surgery?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a modern hair transplant technique that involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) and transplanting them into areas affected by hair loss.
Unlike older strip methods (FUT), FUE:
-
Does not involve stitches
-
Leaves tiny, barely visible scars
-
Allows for faster healing and recovery
-
Produces natural-looking results when performed correctly
FUE is one of the most commonly requested hair restoration procedures in the UK due to its safety profile and cosmetic outcomes.
In the UK, hair transplants MUST be performed by a GMC registered Doctor in a CQC registered premises. This ensures you receive a high standard of care, ethics and skill.
This is not the same in other countries, where hair transplants are performed by non-medically trained individuals in rooms that can sometimes have several hair transplants happening all at once.
All of our patients will have their consultation and treatment carried out by
Dr Jamie. Following your surgery you will have a review at 3, 6 and 12 months.
Going abroad often means you don't meet the doctor performing your hair transplant before the day, and makes follow ups and reviews difficult.
Why have a hair transplant in the UK?
I had been so self conscious about my hairline and always had to style my hair a certain way to hide it. I hated swimming or going out in the wind as it would reveal my receding temples.
It's now 12 months after my hair transplant and all I can say is... It's definitely worth it!!
FUE vs FUT
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
Takes longer to perform as each hair follicle is removed one by one.
Donor area heals quicker.
No linear scar on the back of your head.
FUT (Strip Surgery)
A strip is removed from the back of your head and each graft is cut up individually.
Can leave an unsightly scar on the back your head.
Is useful for people needing a large number of grafts.
Most FUE hair transplant cases vary depending on the number of grafts required, hairline design, crown involvement and whether a staged surgery is safer.
After your consultation, you will receive a written treatment plan with the confirmed price (which will not change on the day), surgical approach, and any recommended medication/treatments (such as PRP).
Small hairline case: from £4,000

FAQs
How long does an FUE hair transplant take to carry out?
Most FUE hair transplants take 6-8 hours to perform. Larger cases may take longer.
It is important to note that after 8 hours, the survival of grafts is negatively impacted. So those wanting to cover a large area (such as temples and crown) maybe advised to have 2 separate procedures, or have FUT surgery instead.
Who can perform hair transplants?
In the UK, hair transplants MUST ONLY be performed by a Doctor.
Hair transplants require surgical assistants, who will usually need to assist the Doctor throughout the day extracting, counting and also implanting the grafts.
How long will a hair transplant last?
The results from your hair transplant are permanent.
This is because grafts are taken from the 'safe donor' area on the back of the head. These hairs are not sensitive to DHT (which is a potent form of testosterone that causes hair loss) and therefore, are not prone to falling out like the hairs on top of your head. If you picture any balding person - you will notice they always keep the hair on the back and sides of their head.
Does an FUE hair transplant hurt?
The only part of the day that might feel uncomfortable is the local anaesthetic (numbing injections).
We use one of the thinnest needles available (TSK - Invisible Needle) to make the injections as comfortable as possible.
We only begin removing grafts once your scalp is completely numb and therefore 100% pain free.
Lying down in one position for a long time, can sometimes make it uncomfortable for your neck and back, so we advise Paracetamol if you suffer from neck or back pain.
Regular breaks are taken for this reason.
Do FUE hair transplants leave scarring?
Any surgical procedure can result in scarring. However, the FUE punch used ranges from 0.6 to 1.0mm. Therefore the back of your head heals relatively fast (usually 5-7 days) and does't usually result in scarring.
We normally advise all patients that if you have a skin fade or shave your hair shorter than a grad 1, you my be able to notice some small white dots on the back of your head. Most patients prefer this over the linear scar often caused by FUT surgery.
How long does it take to see results from FUE surgery?
After your hair transplant, most of the transplanted hair will fall out. You will then begin to notice hair growth around month 3.
Most hair will grow through between month 5 and 8.
We expect your final result to have fully grown through by 12 months.
How long should I rest after FUE hair transplant?
We recommend you take 7 days off work after your surgery. This is to allow time for you to heal and for any swelling to have settled. During the first 7 days, the grafts are very delicate and care must be taken to look after and protect the grafts.
Can women have an FUE hair transplant?
It is usually recommended that women have FUT surgery. This is because the back of the head need to be shaved to a zero for FUE (which is not necessary for FUT surgery).
Most women also have long hair, meaning they can easily conceal the donor area and any potential scar.
