The cost of FUE hair transplant with Dr Mark Tam will vary depending on the complexity of the surgery required to treat and restore your hair loss. Factors including the type and location of hair loss – hairline, temples, frontal, or crown – and the size of the treatment area(s) will determine the quantities of follicular unit grafts to be harvested from your donor site(s).
Surgery is performed in a single day including large-quantity (3,000+) graft transplants. Alternatively, a stepwise approach to restore and lower your hairline with staged procedures may be preferred depending on your goals and the options discussed in your consultation.
Hair transplants requiring over 3,000 follicular unit grafts necessitate increased donor harvesting and hair transplantation across a much larger frontal area of the hairline; this also means more surgical hours. Using innovative techniques including partial follicular unit extraction (FUE) and individually separated hair follicles allows Dr Tam to optimise graft collection and implantation.
Working hours, available assistance, and the techniques employed for harvesting, preparing, and transplantation are common limiting factors for many other clinics and surgeons. But Dr Mark Tam is different. Alongside his supporting clinical team, hair transplants for hairline lowering and restoration requiring 3,000 to 4,000 grafts can be carried out safely and efficiently in one (long) day – often 10-12 hours - but the benefits outweigh reduced working hours and splitting the operations. One procedure minimises downtime, and time out of your life, reduces travel expenses, and achieves a new hairline in one go, not in incremental stages where you are left waiting with only half a result.
The treatment plan will depend on the quantity and location of hair loss and the coverage needed to restore an ultra-high-density result. Precise donor area management is also key to the success of multiple transplants. Hair loss may also require stabilisation with medication.
At Hair Transplant by Dr Mark Tam, all your appointments are with Dr Mark Tam himself, not a salesperson or patient advisor, only with the hair transplant surgeon who will perform the surgery. He will explain what happens during the procedure, including each stage of harvesting, preparation, and transplantation, what you can expect on the day, and the anticipated results if you decide to proceed with surgery. He will ensure you are comfortable and fully understand the processes at every step of your hair transplant journey, answering any questions.
START YOUR JOURNEY
A full, face-to-face consultation with Dr Mark Tam at the Harley Street clinic is a 60-minute appointment. It is a requirement before committing to a procedure.
It consists of a thorough medical consultation and assessment of your hair loss and your hair restoration goals.
During the consultation, Dr Tam will discuss your bespoke treatment and sketch out the treatment area on your head using a moulded frame and film so he can accurately measure the segments and calculate the number of grafts required. The fee for your surgery is based on these precise measurements (rather than a generic figure) and is provided alongside a written treatment plan for you to consider after the consultation.
Pre-Assessment cost Free of charge.

An initial video consultation will last for 30 minutes and will cover the key points. We do however, recommend a full consultation face to face to be undertaken prior to committing to procedure.

Video consultation – 30 minutes cost £60.
Additional video consultation – 30 minutes cost £50.
Hair transplant prices are based on the size of the area being treated and the anticipated ultra-high-density placement of follicular unit grafts per centimetre squared.

Why VAT may or may not apply to your treatment
Under UK VAT legislation, hair transplant procedures may either be VAT exempt or subject to VAT, depending on the primary purpose of the treatment. These rules are determined by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and are not a decision made by our clinic.
Where treatment is being provided primarily to treat or manage a recognised medical condition, it may qualify for VAT exemption. However, UK VAT legislation requires appropriate independent medical evidence to support this.
If you believe your hair loss is associated with an underlying medical or psychological condition, we will require a supporting letter from an appropriate independent healthcare professional, such as your GP, Consultant Dermatologist or Consultant Psychiatrist. This documentation should confirm the underlying diagnosis and the medical basis for treatment.
Please note that our hair transplant surgeons do not make this assessment for VAT purposes, as UK VAT legislation requires independent supporting medical evidence.
If you are not currently under the care of a GP, dermatologist or psychiatrist, and you believe your hair loss may be related to an underlying medical or psychological condition, we can provide details of an independent Consultant Psychiatrist who can undertake an assessment if appropriate.
Any assessment is entirely independent of our clinic and does not automatically mean your treatment will qualify for VAT exemption. VAT status can only be determined once the appropriate supporting medical evidence has been received and reviewed in accordance with UK VAT legislation.
If suitable independent medical evidence is not available, or your treatment is being undertaken primarily for cosmetic reasons, we are legally required to charge VAT at the prevailing rate.
Our aim is to ensure that every patient is treated fairly and consistently whilst complying with UK VAT legislation and HMRC requirements.

I recently had a hair transplant with Dr Mark Tam and I couldn't be happier with the results (December 2022). From the moment I walked into his office, I knew I was in good hands. His staff was friendly and welcoming, and Dr Tam was very professional and knowledgeable.
The procedure itself was quick and relatively painless, and I was pleasantly surprised by how little discomfort I experienced during the surgery and how fast the recovery was. Now, several months later, I am thrilled with the results so far. My hair looks natural and thick, and I have received numerous compliments on the significant improvement to my overall look thanks to Dr Tam's skilled work.
I highly recommend Dr Mark Tam for anyone considering a hair transplant. He is a true professional who truly cares about his patients and delivering the best possible results. Thank you, Dr Tam!
I recently had a procedure at Dr Mark Tam's surgery. The level of care and professionalism shown by the team was first class. I was made to feel like a VIP from the initial consultation, through surgery on the day, and all the way to aftercare.
Having surgery can be a daunting experience but Dr Tam and the team made everything easy to understand at every stage of the process.
I would highly recommend Dr Mark Tam and his expert team for anyone considering a hairline restoration procedure.
I underwent a hair transplant with Mark and his team in May 2023. It was a significant procedure involving ~2,800 bearing ~5,500 hairs in total. I was extremely impressed by the whole process.
Mark is very thorough in his pre-procedure care, hairline planning, and expectation management. In my case, I was working with both him and a second doctor with whom I plan to have a connected procedure next year. That all went very smoothly. The procedure itself was gloriously uneventful. Mark's team is a well-oiled machine, with everything going as previously explained. The whole thing took 12 hours, and I was extremely well cared from throughout. A great experience.
As to the results, it's only ~2 weeks post-op as I type but i am already thrilled with the results. After care has also been great.
After reviewing various clinics across the UK before deciding to go ahead with my transplant, it was clear to me that Dr Mark Tam put the customer at the forefront and the experience which they aim to deliver is unrivalled.
My personal experience - Dr Mark Tam and his team were exceptional from start to finish, the meticulous planning that went into my procedure both before and on the day was nothing short of extraordinary. They made me feel completely at ease especially throughout the surgery.
I would highly recommend if you are considering getting a hairline transplant to meet with Dr Mark Tam and you will see first-hand why he is at the forefront of his field.
I had my procedure with Dr Tam back in June (6 months ago) but I wanted to deliberately wait until now to write my review, so I could also share the amazing results.
The consultation wasn't free but was far, far more thorough than anything else I'd come across. Dr Tam used a range of methods to calculate the number of follicles required for the specific area - his fee structure is completely transparent and is based on this.
Dr Tam is a clearly master of his trade - its clear he takes pride in his work but also provides first class service. I would recommend Dr Tam anyone.
Just wanted to thank Dr Mark and his incredible team for the entire experience. From the initial 'photo / email' consultation, to the in person session in Dr Mark's office, to the day, I was absolutely blown away by the friendliness and professionalism.
I immediately knew that I was getting the best of the best when it comes to hair transplants and now that I am a couple of weeks down the line in recovery I can already see the talented work that he and his team put together.
Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a transplant!
I had my procedure last weekend and as such am now 8 days post procedure. I had 2100 grafts placed in the frontal area.
All I can say is, Dr Tam and his team provided the the absolute highest standard of service before, during and after the surgery. They are a well oiled, highly skilled machine with a genuine empathetic and human touch.
The only mistake I made was turning up tired and anxious about the procedure, which was completely unfounded. If anyone else is getting them self worked up pre- procedure, please don't, you are in the absolute safest hands.
Dr Tam combines excellence with unrivalled client care to provide a service that is, simply put, outstanding.
Every conceivable detail is covered to ensure comfort, discretion, and a positive experience on the day of surgery. Dr Tam is sincerely personable and friendly; he totally puts you at ease from first contact, all the way to the conclusion of surgery and through aftercare. I went to Dr Tam as he was recommended to me by somebody who insisted he is the best hair transplant surgeon in London, and he more than lived up to this reputation.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Tam to anybody considering hair restoration; this is a life changing procedure, and I honestly don't think you could find a more dedicated surgeon, with such phenomenal levels of client care. If you go ahead with Dr Tam, rest assured, you are in the safest hands out there.
