Restore Your Confidence with Our Hair Transplants for Men

Understanding why your hair falls out is essential to finding the best treatment to restore both your hair growth and your self-confidence.

Common causes for the loss or thinning of hair in men include:

Androgenetic alopecia (also known as male pattern baldness),
Alopecia areata
Scarring alopecia

Factors like thyroid issues, scalp infections and hormonal imbalances can also play a role in male hair loss.

Our patient-centred Glasgow clinic specialises in hair transplants of the highest standard. Dr Bonaros strives to provide hair restoration procedures that are conducted with honesty and care.

FUE Hair Transplant for Men

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant surgery is an advanced cosmetic hair transplant procedure that has proven to be a highly effective way of treating thinning hair, male pattern baldness and receding hairlines.

During the FUE hair transplant procedure, hair follicles are discreetly and individually harvested from the back of the head (donor area) under local anaesthetic. The harvested follicles are then implanted into balding areas on the crown, mid-scalp, and hairline.

Benefits of the FUE Method

There are several advantages that make the FUE method favoured over more traditional hair loss treatments such as FUT hair transplants. The benefits of FUE include:

A sutureless, more aesthetically pleasing result
Minimal discomfort, with a quicker recovery time
Tiny scars that are virtually undetectable (no linear scarring)
Minimally invasive surgical procedure
Ability to have very short hair if desired

Sharp Implanter Method

Also known as Direct Hair Implantation (DHI), it is a precise method using advanced implanter pens. This procedure involves the direct implantation of hair follicles into the desired recipient area.

WAW Duo FUE System — Improved Graft Quality

We use the WAW Duo FUE system, designed to enhance graft quality and precision. This ensures natural and long-lasting hair transplant results for men.

Men's FUE Transplant Head Areas

Hair loss can occur on all areas of the scalp for men, from the top of the scalp to the back of the head and face. Various areas of the head are suitable for a FUE hair transplant, allowing you to restore hair growth where you need it most.

These are the hair transplant options for men that are most commonly performed at our Scotland hair transplant clinic:

Vertex/Crown Transplant

The crown or vertex is a complex region found at the highest point of the scalp, situated toward the top of the back of the head. The hair on the crown forms a circular pattern known as a hair whorl. This area is commonly affected by male pattern baldness, with hair loss beginning at the centre and progressing outwards.

While the crown or vertex is relatively concealed from view, bald or balding crowns can have a great effect on men’s self-confidence. Dr Bonaros offers crown hair restoration surgery to treat hair thinning and hair loss in this area.

Mid-Scalp Transplant

The mid-scalp is found just behind the frontal region, in the middle part of the scalp. Loss of hair tends to occur in this area during the more advanced stages of male pattern baldness.

We can perform the FUE procedure on this area in the middle of the scalp at our hair transplant clinic.

Hairline Transplant

The frontal hairline is arguably the most noticeable feature of our hair. Because it frames your face, loss of hair in this area can be exceedingly visible. Any changes to this region, whether a different hairstyle or a form of hair loss, can drastically alter your appearance.

Hairline changes caused by hair loss can have a significant impact on the way you live your life, having a negative effect on your self-image and self-esteem.

At our Glasgow hair transplant clinic, we carefully design each FUE hairline procedure to provide natural-looking results for men of all ages.

Temples Transplant

Your temples are located on the sides of your head, in the region next to and above your eyes. Hair thinning at the temples is usually a result of a receding hairline that has extended to the sides of the head due to male pattern hair loss.

Hair loss at the temples can exaggerate a widow’s peak or contribute to a receding hairline. As a highly recognised hair transplant surgeon in the UK, Dr Bonaros offers a temple FUE procedure that has proven to be greatly effective in restoring hair with a natural-looking appearance.

Beard Transplant

A full, well-defined beard can enhance your facial features and boost confidence. For those struggling with patchy or thin facial hair, our beard hair transplant in Glasgow offers a permanent solution.

Using the same precise FUE technique, we carefully extract healthy follicles and transplant them to areas of sparse growth. We create a natural beard pattern tailored to your facial structure and personal style preferences.

Take the first step towards a head of fuller and thicker hair with our male hair transplant in the UK.

Men's Hair Transplants — FAQs

In the search for ways to recreate a full head of hair, it is easy to get lost trying to keep track of an overload of daunting details. To provide you with as much relevant information as possible, we’ve compiled a list of answers to questions our patients commonly ask.

What can commonly cause men to lose hair?

While many conditions could contribute to men’s hair loss, these are a few of the most common causes:

Androgenetic alopecia

Otherwise known as male pattern baldness, this is the most common cause of hair loss in men, often beginning with a receding hairline or balding on the top of the head.

Alopecia areata

This is an autoimmune disorder that causes patchy loss of hair, from thinning hair to extensive bald areas.

Scarring alopecia

This happens as a result of damage to the hair follicles and scarring on the scalp, often caused by inflammatory conditions or persistent tight braiding of the scalp hair. Patients suffering from alopecia areata or scarring alopecia are generally not suitable candidates for hair transplant procedures.

Telogen effluvium

A temporary form of hair loss is typically triggered by significant physical or emotional stress, major surgery, severe infection, or nutritional deficiencies. Hair follicles prematurely enter the resting (telogen) phase, resulting in increased shedding.

Medications

Certain medicines may cause hair loss as a side effect. These include chemotherapy agents, anticoagulants, retinoids, beta-blockers, antidepressants and some anti-seizure medications.

Physical trauma

Burns, severe injuries, or surgical procedures on the scalp can permanently damage hair follicles.

Physical trauma

Exposure to pollutants, harsh hair products, excessive heat styling, and UV radiation can contribute to hair damage and loss.

Book a consultation with Dr Bonaros for a diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.

What is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)?

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), otherwise known as the ‘strip method’, was the traditional method used for hair transplants before the FUE method.

During a FUT hair transplant, the hair transplant surgeon cuts a thin strip of skin from the side or back of the head (donor area) and then extracts the individual hairs. The hair follicles are then inserted into the balding areas of the scalp.

While FUT is effective, FUE procedures are favoured, due to its shorter, easier recovery period and significantly minimal scarring and pain. The linear scarring involved with a FUT procedure also limits the type of hairstyles that men can wear without the scars showing.

Am I a suitable candidate for a FUE male hair transplant?

Dr Bonaros is dedicated to honesty and transparency in helping you treat your hair loss. A FUE hair transplant procedure is not a suitable option for everyone. Various factors can influence whether or not you will receive the desired results from FUE. Some factors include:

Hair loss diagnosis
General Health
Age
Hair loss stability
Donor hair density

During your initial consultation, Dr Bonaros will consider all of these factors when determining if you are a good candidate for FUE hair restoration surgery. There are also alternatives available for men who cannot have the FUE procedure.

How long is the healing process for a FUE hair transplant in Glasgow?

During your FUE hair transplant, the donor area at the back of your head is numbed with a local anaesthetic that typically wears off after 4-6 hours of being administered. You may experience the sensation of a swollen scalp, tingling, or burning while the anaesthetic is wearing off.

Timeline & Recovery

During the first couple of days following your men’s hair transplant at our UK clinic, there can be temporary scabbing, redness, itching, or discomfort. As this type of hair transplant is minimally invasive, you will be able to return to work the following day if you wish. However, most people tend to take 2-3 days off before resuming normal activities.

When will I start seeing my FUE hair transplant results?

Following your FUE procedure, it usually takes around three months for you to start seeing new hair growth. Throughout the next few months, your newly transplanted hair will continue to grow. However, it will still be relatively thin.

Around six months after your hair transplant procedure, your new hair will have blended in seamlessly with your original hair and you’ll be able to style and cut it with ease. Your new hair will have fully matured and grown one year after your procedure.

Who will perform the hair transplant surgery?

At our Glasgow hair transplant clinic, Dr Bonaros personally performs every step, with him and his team explaining the whole FUE procedure process as it happens.

All FUE hair transplant procedures require high levels of skill and precision and should be carried out by an experienced surgeon at a registered clinic.

How much does a men's hair transplant cost?

The average cost per graft at the Dr. Bonaros Hair Transplant Clinic in Glasgow is approximately £4. The total costs can range from £3,000 to £15,000. FUE hair transplant procedures do not have a set cost, as each case is unique.

Some of the main determining factors of hair transplant costs include:

Which hair loss clinic you go to
The type of hair transplant procedure you need
The complexity of your hair loss
The number of grafts you need

The cost of a FUE hair transplant in Scotland will vary depending on your chosen hair transplant surgeon’s ability and the philosophy of the clinic.

Our Hair Transplant Finance Options

Is hair transplant surgery for men permanent?

Generally, with men’s hair implants in the UK, the treated bald and thinning areas will be restored. However, the procedure will not stop future hair loss of pre-existing hair in other areas.

The transplanted hair will grow continuously and consistently, but there is always the chance that you will continue to lose your non-transplanted hair in untreated areas.

Will my hair transplant be noticeable?

Our FUE male pattern baldness transplant is a minimally invasive, safe procedure with a short recovery time. The hair transplant is hardly noticeable within the first 7-10 days and virtually undetectable within 4-6 weeks.

Does a hair transplant hurt?

No, at Dr Bonoros’ Glasgow hair transplant clinic, the FUE hair transplantation uses a local anaesthetic, so you’ll be awake but won’t feel pain.

Beyond mild discomfort from injections, the transplant process remains relatively painless. Afterwards, you may experience slight graze-like discomfort in the donor area where follicles were harvested and implanted.

I recently went for an in-person appointment with Dr Bonaros. He is very professional, friendly and well informed.

Highly recommended.

Jackie Lambert

Dr Bonaros is an incredibly talent doctor in his field and has provided me with a wonderful hair transplant result. Finding information and pictures for female hair transplants was really hard. Hair is such a defining part of us all that is not realised until you start to lose your hair.
I suffered female pattern balding and hair thinning due to menopause and became very self conscious. I was worried about the treatment (as many on line photos looked so horrific), pain, recovery time, would it work, results etc. I also didn't want to lose more hair over the coming years, but also didn't want to have my head shaved at the back for the transplant.
Dr Bonaros answered all my questions and was such a knowledgeable and calming person that I knew he was the doctor for me and I was in safe hands.
On the day of the transplant, he and his team were amazing and so very kind and took great care of me. The aftercare and regular check ups were great.
I have just celebrated by first hair transplant birthday and the result are fantastic. I have consented for Dr Bonaros to share all of my journey photos with any other women out there contemplating this treatment. I cannot recommend highly enough. My hair is thicker and fuller and I even have a full fringe now.

Peter Walker

Can't thank the Dr and the team enough for such great work on my hair. It's been a year and I'm delighted with the results of my 4000 graft procedure.

The team were kind, professional and patient during the consultation stage. They answered all my questions and made me feel at ease.

During the operation every step was explained and the experience was made as comfortable as possible over the two days of my 4000 graft procedure. It's a morning of extractions from the donor area and an afternoon of inserting them into the recipient area with lunch provided. I brought some in-ear headphones for a podcast to pass the time and it does fly by. Dr Bonaros was present at all times performing the extractions and graft placement. They worked non-stop during this time.

The post operation care package you get home and the follow up emails and appointments to ask questions really made the whole post care process easy at what is a sensitive time.

Fully recovered and seeing the results, it's gave me a lot of confidence and looking back at old photographs I really do not regret having it done, I wish I did it sooner.

Really appreciate what the clinic has done for me. Thank you Dr Bonaros and Team!

graham jardine

Can’t thank dr Bonaros and the team enough,

I found them to be extremely professional, reassuring and kind.

I work an operating theatre environment so I guess I was a bit of a tough customer however I was very impressed with my hair transplant from first consultation to the operation itself.

I’m now 4 months out and have loads of hair growth, my confidence has been renewed massively and my only regret is not having the treatment sooner!

Thanks again

Kind regards

Graham

Cayden

I had a 2000 graft hair transplant with Dr Bonaros just over a year ago. It was painless, very easy on my part (I just had to lie in different positions and amuse myself) and Dr Bonaros and his team were super informative and happily answered all of my questions both during our initial consult and the procedure itself.

I was seen at 8:50am and we finished up I believe around 4pm, with an hour lunch break (the surgery provided a hot lunch, and were very accommodating with my dietary needs)

Aftercare was very well explained and I was given all the necessary equipment and care instructions for my recovery.

I had no complications during or after the transplant, and healing with a lot easier than I expected. Patience and time are the main factors for the months after your transplant.

I am over the moon with my results, I am so much more confident and my self-esteem has come on in leaps and bounds.

Thank you so much for giving me a new lease on life!

From the very beginning, the entire experience was fantastic. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and explained every step of the process in great detail

The procedure was surprisingly comfortable, with minimal discomfort during and after the surgery. The recovery went well, and I was provided with clear instructions and a goody bag to take away to aid my recovery.

I highly recommend that everyone consult with Dr. Bonaro and his staff before making a final decision. You won't regret it!
