Whatever your age and whatever the cause, if you’re exploring hair transplants Bristol patients recommend, hair loss can seriously affect self-esteem and your ability to enjoy life to the full.
For those experiencing advanced hair loss, specialized intervention and expert consultation may be necessary to determine the most suitable restoration procedures.
Male pattern baldness is often seen as a natural part of ageing, but a surprising number of very young men are also affected. Research suggests that 16% of men between 18 and 29 will suffer from moderate to extensive hair loss.
Our clinic provides individual hair loss treatment plans, ensuring each patient receives a solution tailored to their unique needs.
Women are also affected, with up to two-thirds of women experiencing hair loss due to hormonal changes around menopause.
A range of hair loss treatments is available, from medical therapies to advanced surgical options, to address different stages and types of hair loss.
The Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) hair transplant harvests the client’s own hair by removing individual hair follicles from areas of the head with abundant coverage, usually the back and sides, and transplanting them to areas suffering hair loss. FUE stands for follicular unit extraction, a technique known for minimal scarring and suitability for various types of hair loss.
Elena Prousskaia’s team of expert hair transplant specialists ensure they deliver on your expectations. All our procedures are performed by highly qualified professionals. The clinic was founded by Elena Prousskaia, an experienced and highly qualified plastic surgeon. She worked for several years as an NHS Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon at Southmead Hospital in Bristol before setting up her own private practice to the highest standards.
Elena prioritises the happiness and safety of her patients above everything else, and all the members of her team share her exceptional levels of patient care and surgical skill.

Patients meet with the tech team prior to the hair loss surgery to discuss the procedure and preparation.
When undergoing hair loss surgery there, the first stage of the process is to have the donor area shaved to provide easy access to your hair follicles.
This can be challenging cosmetically for some clients, but it is an essential part of the process and definitely worth it for the end result!
After administering a local anaesthetic to ensure minimal discomfort, the surgeon will make a circular incision around a hair follicle and remove the whole follicle or unit intact.
The fue hair transplant procedure is a minimally invasive technique that involves extracting individual follicular units and transplanting them to the desired area.
This process will be continued until the required number of follicular units has been removed. The harvested follicles are kept at minus 8 to 10 degrees centigrade until the surgeon is ready to implant them. The surgeon will then make tiny incisions on your scalp into which the harvested follicles are inserted.
After implantation, the transplanted hair may shed temporarily before starting to grow again, and the results are generally permanent.
The process of harvesting and transplantation can take between 6 and 10 hours, depending on how many hair follicles are needed to achieve the desired effect.
It is normal for transplanted hairs to go through a shedding phase before regrowth, with new hair growth typically visible within a few months.
You will be able to go home after the procedure without an overnight stay at the hospital. The graft removal process will leave 1 mm holes on your scalp, which will heal within a week to 10 days. After the procedure, you will receive specific post procedure care instructions to help ensure proper healing and optimal hair growth.
Before you leave the hospital, you will be given detailed instructions on caring for your scalp and advised to rest for a couple of days. You should be able to return to normal activities after three days. During the weeks post treatment, follow-up appointments and monitoring are recommended to track your progress and address any concerns.
Most patients can expect the healing process to be straightforward, with a return to work and daily routines typically occurring within a few days.
You should expect to see the full benefit of the procedure after 6 to 9 months. There may be minimal scarring at the donor sites, but this will be hidden by even the shortest hairstyles. Within a few months, you will be able to style your hair as you wish and participate in all types of sport without feeling self-conscious.
Our goal is to provide natural looking hair that blends seamlessly with your existing hair, ensuring a realistic and fuller appearance.
The success rate for this procedure is very high, and our Bristol clinic has many delighted customers.
The cost of the transplant depends on the number of grafts required and, therefore, the length of the procedure. The total price will include the work of our skilled surgeon, the anaesthetic, and a review at one, three, six, and twelve months after surgery. We provide transparent hair transplant cost information, including details about per-graft pricing for FUE and FUT techniques, so you know exactly what is included.
The role of your existing hair is crucial in achieving optimal results, as transplanted hair is designed to merge with your natural hair for the most natural looking outcome.
Your full consultation at the Elena Prousskaia Bristol clinic will take up to an hour and cost between £150 and £200. Our experienced hair transplant surgeon also could see you for initial no obligation 15 min free video chat and would assess your hair loss during the consultation and decide whether the FUE hair transplant is suitable for you.
If you are a good candidate, the surgeon will determine how many grafts will be required to achieve the desired result. All your questions will be answered at this stage, and the surgeon will explain the procedure to you in detail.
