Specialist restoration for receding and thinning frontal hairlines
Expert UK surgeons, using the most advanced techniques to deliver proven transformations that last a lifetime!
A hair transplant for a receding hairline is a surgical procedure to restore hair loss at the front of the scalp, where the hairline has moved backwards or become thinner. The treatment involves relocating healthy hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the head to the frontal hairline to improve density and redefine its shape.
At Aventus Clinic, this is commonly performed using Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), where individual follicular units are carefully removed and implanted into the areas of recession. Each graft is positioned to follow the natural direction and angle of hair growth to ensure the restored hairline blends with existing hair.
Suitability depends on donor hair availability, stability of hair loss and overall health. At Aventus Clinic, the procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic by GMC-registered doctors in a CQC-registered clinical setting.

An FUE hairline transplant is a surgical hair restoration procedure used to address a thinning or receding frontal hairline. The technique involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area, usually at the back or sides of the scalp, and implanting them into the areas where the hairline has receded. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) allows precise placement of grafts to rebuild a hairline that complements your facial features and looks natural.
During the procedure, individual follicular units are extracted one by one using micro-surgical instruments. These follicles are then meticulously placed along the hairline at specific angles, depths and directions to replicate natural hair growth.
Particular attention is paid to density gradients and irregularity, avoiding a straight or artificial appearance. The goal is a soft, age-appropriate hairline that blends seamlessly with your existing hair.
FUE is considered the gold standard for hairline work because it allows for maximum control and minimal scarring. There is no linear scar, making it suitable even for those who prefer shorter hairstyles.
It also enables precise placement of single-hair grafts at the very front of the hairline, which is essential for achieving a natural result. This level of detail is not possible with older techniques.
Recovery is generally straightforward. Mild redness and small scabs in the hairline area are common and usually settle within 7 to 14 days. The transplanted hairs often shed within the first few weeks, which is a normal part of the process. New growth typically begins around three to four months after treatment, with visible improvement continuing over 9 to 12 months.

A consultation is necessary to assess donor density, hair characteristics and long-term hair loss patterns.
Meet directly with Dr. Alam. Together, you’ll assess your hairline position, facial proportions and hair characteristics, then design a natural, age-appropriate hairline with a personalised treatment plan.
Under local anaesthetic, individual hair follicles are extracted one by one and precisely implanted along the hairline to recreate natural density, direction and soft transitions.
Most patients return to normal activities within 7–14 days. New hair growth begins within months, with refined hairline results developing fully over 12–18 months.
