3200 GRAFTS | MALE FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT
This patient underwent a 3200 graft FUE hair transplant to address advanced loss across the frontal scalp.
In the before image, recession extends back from both temples and the frontal area retains only fine, sparse hair, with the remaining density sitting at the sides.
The grafts were used to rebuild the frontal hairline and carry coverage back across the front of the scalp. A case at this size is planned around what the donor area can supply, and around where the available grafts will make the most difference to how the scalp reads overall.
The after image shows this patient's individual result at the time of photography. Reduced density remains visible behind the treated area.

It starts with a diagnosis.
Hair loss in women usually presents differently to the male pattern. It is more often diffuse, with a widening part or a general drop in volume rather than a receding hairline. Female pattern hair loss is the most common cause, but telogen effluvium, thyroid conditions, iron deficiency, hormonal changes and scarring alopecias can all contribute, and more than one can be present at the same time.
Assessment involves history, examination of the scalp and hair, and blood tests where they are indicated. Once the cause is clear, the medical management of that condition can be discussed, and for many women that is the whole plan.
Surgery is a smaller part of the picture. It can be appropriate where there is a defined area of loss and a stable donor area, but diffuse thinning and an unstable donor supply often make it unsuitable.
If treatment starts before the cause is established, it is possible to spend months treating the wrong problem.

Both areas lose hair, but they behave differently and they are planned differently.
The hairline is a defined line at the front. It frames the face, it is what people see first, and a relatively small number of grafts placed well can make a visible difference. Once its shape is set, it stays roughly where it is.
The crown is a whorl. Hair radiates outward from a central point, so coverage has to be built in several directions for it to look natural. It is also a larger surface area than it appears in the mirror, and crown loss often keeps expanding outward with age. Grafts placed into a crown that is still enlarging can end up surrounded by further loss.
This is part of why the front is often prioritised when donor supply is limited. It is not that the crown cannot be treated. It is that donor hair is finite, and using a large share of it on an area that may keep expanding leaves less available later.
Where the crown is addressed, it is usually as part of a staged plan rather than on its own.

This patient underwent a 2700 graft FUE hair transplant to the frontal hairline and the scalp behind it.
Tightly curled hair behaves differently in a transplant. Each graft has to be angled to follow the direction of the curl, and extraction needs particular care because the follicle is curved beneath the skin. Curl also creates visual coverage, so density reads differently than it would with straight hair.
The grafts were placed to rebuild the hairline and improve coverage across the front, working with the patient's existing hair and the donor supply available.
The after images show this patient's individual result at the time of photography, viewed from the front and from above. Reduced density remains visible further back on the scalp.

A hair transplant does not end when you leave the clinic.
Patients go home with written aftercare instructions, and the first days matter most for graft security. The instructions cover washing, sleeping position, activity and what is normal to see while the area settles.
Follow-up then continues over the months that follow, because growth is slow and staged. Reviews are used to check healing in both the recipient and donor areas, look at how growth is progressing, and revisit the longer-term plan if the underlying hair loss is still changing.
Most of a hair transplant result develops well after the procedure day. Reviewing it properly is part of the work rather than an optional extra.
Consultations and reviews are held at our Malvern clinic.

500 GRAFTS | MALE FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT
This patient underwent a 500 graft FUE hair transplant to a defined area of reduced density at the crown.
Smaller cases like this one are about a specific area rather than the whole scalp. The crown grows in a whorl, with hair radiating outward from a central point, so grafts are placed to follow the direction the surrounding hair already travels in. That is what allows a smaller number of grafts to blend with existing hair rather than sit apart from it.
The after image shows this patient's individual result at the time of photography.

Scalp micropigmentation, or SMP, is a cosmetic tattooing technique. Pigment is placed into the upper layers of the scalp to replicate the appearance of short hair follicles.
It can reduce the visual contrast between scalp and hair in thinning areas, or create the look of a closely shaved head. What it does not do is change the biology of the follicle. It does not slow hair loss and it does not produce new growth, so any hair loss underneath continues on its own course.
That distinction matters when people are weighing up options. SMP is aesthetic. Medical management addresses the process driving the loss. Surgery redistributes hair that already exists. They answer different questions, and some people use more than one of them over time.

Pattern hair loss develops gradually and follows a recognisable shape. Alopecia areata behaves differently. It is an autoimmune condition, where the immune system affects the hair follicle and hair is lost in defined patches, often over a short period. It can involve the scalp, beard, eyebrows or other hair-bearing areas, and the nails can show changes as well.
The distinction matters because the two are managed differently. Alopecia areata is not treated with surgery. Hair loss that is active and unpredictable does not give a stable basis for transplanted hair, so the appropriate step is medical assessment rather than a procedure.
September is Alopecia Areata Awareness Month, which is a reasonable prompt to say plainly that sudden or patchy hair loss should be assessed rather than self-diagnosed.

There is no fixed cut-off age, but age is one of the more important things assessed before surgery.
In younger patients, the concern is usually that the pattern of hair loss has not settled yet. Placing grafts into an area that is still changing can leave transplanted hair sitting in front of loss that carries on behind it. Donor hair used early is also no longer available later.
In older patients the questions are different. General health, the density and quality of the donor area, and how much loss has already happened all shape what is realistic.
Age on its own does not decide suitability. The pattern of loss, family history, donor supply and the likely progression over the next ten or twenty years matter more.
