02The Procedure
A one-day surgical procedure that restores natural-looking hair permanently, performed by experienced specialists at our CQC-registered Leeds clinic.
A surgical day, in four parts
You meet the team that would treat you. We assess your hair loss pattern, donor density, and the realistic shape of what's possible. We answer every question. We tell you whether surgery is the right path or whether non-surgical treatments would serve you better. There is no cost and no obligation. The £2,500 figure is firm; the recommendation is always individual.
You arrive at Whitehall Estate. The clinical team prepares the donor area at the back and sides — the hair there is genetically resistant to DHT, the hormone that causes pattern baldness. Local anaesthesia is administered (a brief sting, five to ten minutes; the rest of the day is comfortable). Individual follicles are extracted with precision instruments and kept in a holding solution.
The receiving area is then prepared and grafts are placed individually, follicle by follicle, to create a natural hairline and density that matches the rest of your hair's growth pattern. Most patients spend the day watching films, listening to podcasts, or chatting with the team.
You leave with a complete aftercare kit — specialised shampoo, healing solutions, recovery instructions, and the team's number. Most patients return to work within five to seven days. Tiny scabs fall away naturally during gentle washing. The transplanted hairs shed around weeks two to four (this is expected and normal) before the new growth cycle begins. PRP therapy is administered to accelerate healing and stimulate growth.
New hair growth becomes visible around month four. By six months, most patients have 50 to 60 per cent of their final result. The full outcome reaches its peak at twelve months, when we book you in for a complimentary review appointment to document the result and answer any final questions. The transplanted follicles are permanent — they carry their DHT-resistance with them.
The anatomy of an extraction
FUE is single-follicle work. We harvest from where the hair is permanent, extract grafts that contain one to four hairs each, and place them where they should grow. This is what those three places look like.
Hair here is genetically resistant to DHT — the hormone that causes pattern baldness. That resistance travels with the follicle to its new location, which is why an FUE result is permanent.
Each graft is a small natural cluster — usually one to four hairs together with the follicle, sebaceous gland, and tiny supporting structures. We extract them one by one, with precision instruments, and keep them in a holding solution.
Grafts are placed individually, follicle by follicle, at carefully judged angles to mirror your natural growth pattern. The hairline is designed before the procedure begins; density is built up systematically across the recipient zone.
3,500 to 4,000 grafts in a single session · roughly 7,700 individual hairs.
“
FUE is a craft. It is the gold standard for hair restoration not because the technology is new but because the technique is unforgiving — each follicle, extracted, placed, kept alive. The survival rate is the result of the care, not the equipment.

Not everyone needs a transplant
For diffuse thinning, women's hair loss, early-stage recession, or as a complement to a transplant, we offer two evidence-backed treatments. Both are painless, both require no downtime.
01
Platelet-Rich Plasma
PRP harnesses your body's own healing proteins and stem cells to stimulate hair follicles and promote new growth. It works by reversing the miniaturisation of hair follicles caused by DHT — the hormone responsible for pattern hair loss.
Included free with every hair transplant procedure, or available as a standalone treatment for patients looking to strengthen and preserve their existing hair.
02
PDT · Low-Level Laser
PDT uses targeted laser light to break up DHT across the scalp, reducing the hormone's damaging effect on hair follicles. Treatment involves sitting under a specialised laser — painless, non-invasive, and requires no downtime.
An effective option on its own or as a complement to PRP therapy and hair transplantation for comprehensive hair restoration.

I was really anxious about the whole thing but the team put me at ease straight away. They explained every step clearly and checked in on me throughout the day. Six months on, my hair looks thick and natural.
From the initial consultation to aftercare, the whole experience was seamless. The clinic was spotless, the team were professional and supportive, and the finance option made it genuinely affordable.
I'd been quoted £6,000+ at other clinics for fewer grafts. UrgentCare gave me 4,000 grafts with PRP included for £2,500. Six months in and the growth is amazing. Genuinely life-changing.
The team were patient, understanding, and really supportive despite my nerves around medical procedures. Three months post-op and the coverage coming through already looks brilliant.
My hairline had been receding for years and I kept putting it off. Wish I hadn't waited so long. The results look completely natural, nobody can tell. The aftercare kit and follow-ups were a really nice touch.
I'm usually anxious around needles but the PRP sessions were far easier than I expected. Hair fall reduced noticeably after the first session and my existing hair feels thicker after four treatments.
Did a lot of research before choosing UrgentCare and so glad I did. The team were upfront about expectations, no impossible promises. They delivered on everything they said they would.
Excellent from beginning to end. The clinic was clean and well organised, the team worked efficiently, and everything was explained clearly before and after. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
The whole process was explained in detail during my consultation and on the day it went exactly as described. Day 12 already looked much better than I expected. The team's knowledge really shows.
