Zone 1
Generally speaking if you are receding at the temples and need slight frontal hair line re-enforcement we will usually place between 1500-2000 grafts. This is all dependent on how much the hairline has receded, along with the quality of the donor area from which grafts are to be taken and transplanted.
Zones 1 & 2 (3)
You will hear us typically describe this is as the frontal 1/3 of the scalp, and with a lot of hair loss a blend is typically required further behind to ensure naturalness of the results. This will also allow us to future proof to a certain extent any further ongoing hair loss.
Zone 4
The crown area or zone 4+ take between 1800-2400 grafts, and may need more than one session to achieve similar levels density to that achieved in the frontal 1/3 of the scalp. This is due to multiple hair growth directions, making it important to mimic these angles to create a natural crown.
Damaged Donor /
Recipient Area
We evaluate repair work individually, with a minimum fee of £12,000, generally for fewer grafts. Often, depleted donor areas with heavy scarring, make procedures even with low graft numbers challenging. We use a dedicated machine for repair work to better penetrate scar tissue, leaving a smaller footprint of scarring added to the donor area.
Investment
Every treatment plan is individually designed following a comprehensive consultation with Dr Manish Mittal.
As a guide:
- One-day procedures typically begin from £10,000
- Two-day procedures typically begin from £16,000
- Procedures involving approximately 2,000 grafts are typically £10,000
- Repair work starting from £12,000
For patients requiring treatment within a shorter timeframe, a Priority Surgery Programme may be available. This bespoke fast-track service allows eligible patients to access an earlier surgical date, subject to clinical suitability and availability. Investment is available upon application.
What Affects the Cost?
- Number of grafts — the biggest single driver of price. More grafts mean more surgical time and skill.
- Hair loss pattern — a receding hairline requires far fewer grafts than extensive crown or full-scalp thinning.
- FUE vs FUT — FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is more labour-intensive and typically costs more per graft than FUT (strip method), though FUT can leave a linear scar.
- Complexity — repair work on a previous transplant, unusual donor hair characteristics, or combined procedures (e.g. beard-to-scalp) can increase cost.
What's Included in the Price?
Unlike some clinics that quote a low headline figure and add costs later, our pricing is built to be transparent. A typical package includes your initial consultation, the surgical procedure itself, post-operative medication, and follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and results over the following months. We'll always confirm exactly what's covered before you book, so you know precisely what you're paying for.
Why Choosing the Cheapest Clinic Can Cost More
It's tempting to go with the lowest quote, but in hair transplantation, price often reflects who is actually performing your surgery. Very low prices can indicate technician-led procedures rather than surgeon-led ones, rushed sessions, or aftercare that's charged separately. A poorly planned transplant can also waste precious donor hair — a resource you can't get back. Investing in an experienced, surgeon-led procedure the first time round is almost always more cost-effective than paying twice.
Before & After Results
Real results speak louder than any price list. Browse our gallery of genuine patient transformations to see the natural, undetectable outcomes Dr Mittal and his team consistently achieve — across a range of hair loss patterns, ages, and graft counts.
How Many Grafts Will I Need?
The number of grafts you need depends on your Norwood/Ludwig scale of hair loss, donor hair density, and your desired level of coverage. As a rough guide, a receding hairline may need 1,000–1,500 grafts, moderate thinning 1,500–2,500 grafts, and more extensive restoration 3,000+ grafts. The only accurate way to know your number is a hands-on or photo-based assessment with our team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a hair transplant available on the NHS?
No. Hair transplants are considered a cosmetic procedure and are not funded by the NHS, except in rare cases involving trauma or burns.
What's the difference between FUE and FUT cost?
FUE is generally more expensive per graft due to the precision and time required, while FUT is often slightly cheaper but leaves a linear donor scar.
Are cheap hair transplants abroad a good alternative?
Clinics abroad may quote lower headline prices, but travel, accommodation, and limited access to follow-up care can offset the apparent savings — and regulatory standards vary.
Can I get an exact price without a consultation?
No reputable clinic can give a firm price without assessing your donor density and recipient area first. Any fixed quote given without an assessment should be treated with caution.
Does the price include aftercare?
At Mittal Hair Clinic, follow-up appointments and aftercare guidance are built into your treatment plan — we'll confirm exactly what's included before you book.
Hair Transplant Costs
World Class restoration procedure with all our attention on you as a single patient, so that every patient gets the VIP experience.
We want to be extremely transparent with our prices, and so have put together a rough guide on what to expect.
Repair work is worked out separately depending on the approach adopted. We also offer a 12 month supply of hair loss stabilising medication. All of this is of course subject to consultation.
We base our pricing on the following parameters:
Dr Manish Mittal will be doing your surgery and is a world renowned IAHRS leading hair restoration surgeon.
He will be doing the harvest, so the extraction will be completed by Dr Mittal personally, and depending on method of procedure for implantation he will either do the incisions using his signature high density precision technique, or will use implanters to replace the grafts in the recipient sites.
Dr. Mittal focuses on one patient a day and therefore you’ll have his undivided attention throughout the procedure.
We only use the best instruments in our practice, be that the WAW machine, Zeus (from U graft), or the Trivelini machine we have it all to suit your specific needs.
Understanding pricing is an important part of planning your procedure, and our Hair Transplants London service is designed to provide clear, surgeon-led guidance on graft numbers, technique, and long-term value.
