About the Clinic

The Private Clinic's Bristol hair loss clinic, formerly located in the Clifton area, is no longer open; the group's hair restoration clinics operate in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, and Northampton. The clinic specializes in FUE hair transplants, in which individual follicles are harvested from a donor area, usually at the back of the head, and placed into the treatment areas under local anesthetic. A modified FUE approach using small entry points into the scalp is performed by the practice's own doctors, with implanters used during placement, and beard, eyebrow, and unshaven hair transplants are also offered. Consultations cover the treatment and the formation of a treatment plan, and post-operative appointments with the surgeon and nursing team are provided along with a 24-hour patient helpline.

Procedures Offered

FUE
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area using a small circular punch tool. The harvested follicles are then carefully implanted into the balding or thinning areas of the scalp. This method leaves tiny, nearly invisible scars rather than a linear scar, resulting in faster healing and the ability to wear shorter hairstyles. Because of this, FUE is the most popular hair transplant technique today.
FUT
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), also known as the "strip method," involves surgically removing a narrow strip of scalp from the donor area, typically the back of the head. The strip is then carefully dissected under a microscope to separate individual hair follicles, which are implanted into the recipient areas. While this technique leaves a linear scar that requires longer hair to conceal, it allows surgeons to harvest a large number of high-quality grafts in a single session, making it cost-effective for patients needing extensive coverage.
