What Is a Temple Hair Transplant?

A temple hair transplant is a procedure that involves transplanting hair from the back or sides of your hair to fill in thinning or receding temples.

Hair loss around the temples can affect clients differently, with many noticing a gradual loss of hair that becomes higher and higher around their forehead. Others develop hair loss in a pattern, creating an M or W shape, where the hairline recedes at different levels.

In many cases, temple hair loss is connected to an increased level of dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, which is a hormone that causes shrinkage around otherwise healthy hair follicles, and means you begin to see shedding, thinning, patchier hair, and eventually areas of complete hair loss.

This type of temple hair loss and a natural lack of hair around the temples can be resolved using a safe and effective procedure called Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUE restores temporal peaks lost due to pattern balding, replenishes thinner hair growth across your forehead, or recreates a perfect hairline that frames and complements your features.

FUE transplantation uses your own healthy donor hairs, which are graded and sorted individually to develop a bespoke transplant with a consistent, seamless and natural growth pattern, texture and colour without any visible scarring, extended downtime, stitches or large incisions.

How Does a Temple Hair Transplant Work?

KSL Clinic is a well-known specialist nationwide team. We use our preferred FUE technique for delicate, personalised temple hair transplants since the precision of the procedure and the minimal damage to your scalp and other healthy follicles reduce recovery times and deliver optimal results.

Our transplants always follow an in-depth consultation where we can discuss your requirements, assess the availability of donor follicles, and ensure our hair transplant strategy meets your aspirations.

From start to finish, the below summarises what to expect from your consultation meeting through to aftercare.

Private Transplant Consultation

KSL Clinic’s surgeons and technicians are registered professionals of the General Medical Council, and each clinic is regulated by the Care Quality Commission. We take our standards very seriously, and ensure every client has a complete assessment before making recommendations, ensuring a hair transplant is the best solution for you, and that the results you aspire to are fully achievable.

01

Transplantation Day Pre-Procedure Anaesthetic

The transplant itself is completed in a walk-in/walk-out procedure, with no overnight stays or lengthy recovery periods. On the day, we’ll begin by applying a medical-grade anaesthetic, which ensures you are awake and aware throughout but experience little discomfort and no pain whatsoever.

02

Extracting Healthy Donor Follicles

Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, we will begin carefully extracting one follicle at a time, using a precise tool called a Micro Punch, which creates a tiny scratch at each extraction site. These scratches measure around a mm across and heal rapidly within a matter of days.

03

Sorting and Grading Each Follicle

Each follicle is then graded and sorted, ensuring the hairs exactly match the mapped-out transplant area, with consistent colour, texture, density, and characteristics that will look entirely natural once healed. This ensures the transplant will achieve the look you require and deliver permanent results.

04

Grafting Selected Donor Hairs

Prepared grafts are then implanted in the target area around your temples, as previously discussed with your hair transplant surgeon. Again, tiny scratches are created that will heal swiftly without any larger incisions or stitches and with no visible scarring either at the extraction or reimplantation sites. 

05

Post-Transplant Aftercare

When your hair transplant has been completed, we apply gentle bandaging and provide complete aftercare guidance. This includes instructions about protecting and caring for your newly transplanted follicles, to advice on pain relief and medications to expedite recovery and prevent soreness. We also provide information about scheduling a follow-up check-in or getting in touch if you’d like to verify that your transplant is healing well. 

06

What Are the Benefits?

It is difficult to overstate the impact a precise, bespoke hair transplant can have on our clients’ confidence, appearance and self-esteem. This is especially the case for those who find the onset of hair loss around the temples makes a drastic difference to their outward appearance, or feel that thinning hair is perceived as making them appear significantly older than they are.

As an expert private hair transplantation provider, we work closely with every client before, during, and after their transplant to understand their priorities and requirements and ensure their transplant exceeds their aspirations.

Personalised Hair Restoration 

Hair transplants are never standardised, nor do we suggest a transplant to every prospective client. Instead, we create bespoke hair transplant strategies where we know the desired results are achievable and develop customised plans to map out the exact locations of donor hairs and reimplanted follicles around your temples.

Hair Transplantation Without Pain or Discomfort

Our clinics and technicians incorporate cutting-edge facilities, equipment, skilled surgeons, and medical-standard anaesthetics, guaranteeing that the entire transplant will be pain-free without expecting any client to have to stay with us overnight once their hair transplant is complete.

Precision Transplant Techniques

Accuracy is key to a successful transplant, and the use of microscopic tools and advanced equipment ensures there is minimal trauma to your scalp or temples. This means recovery times are significantly faster than with alternative transplant techniques, and you can return home on the very same day.

Minimal Downtime and Recovery

The tiny scratches created during your hair transplant begin to heal within a few days in the donor areas, and following the aftercare guidance provided will ensure the transplanted follicles also recover quickly. We advise against exercising, swimming, or direct sun exposure for a few days, although you can usually resume your usual routine within as little as two weeks. 

Natural Temple Transplants

FUE transplantation uses your own donor follicles and no synthetic hair or other materials that, in the past, created unnatural or obvious hair transplant outcomes. Your own hairs are graded carefully to ensure each implanted follicle grows in the correct direction and creates a seamless growth pattern.

Long-Lasting Hair Growth Results

Hair transplants offer permanent results. Although a little initial shedding is completely normal, you will begin to see new growth in areas that were previously bald, thin, or patchy in just a few weeks. Most clients see complete regrowth within around one year, which will remain healthy and thick over the long term.

How Much Does a Temple Hair Transplant Cost?

It is incredibly difficult to provide indicative costs or benchmark pricing since each hair transplant is tailored to your wishes, the extent of hair loss or thinning, and the ideal hairline or temporal peaks you’d like your hair transplant surgeon to deliver.

In general, your temple hair transplant can cost between £2,500 and £6,500 depending on the type of hair transplant (corrective surgery, hairline restoration or crown).

We can discuss pricing and our payment plans during your free consultation, which will depend on aspects like:

How much hair loss you have experienced around your temples and the overall size of the transplant area.

Your ideas and requirements in terms of your new hairline or the appearance you’d like your transplanted follicles to have.

The number of grafts we calculate will be necessary to complete your temple hair transplant.

The type of hair you have naturally, evaluating the density, texture and length of your existing hair growth.

FAQs

How Can I Check Whether I Am a Good Candidate for a Temple Hair Transplant?

KSL Clinic’s policy is to offer hair transplantation to clients aged 21 and upward. The first step is to book your free consultation, during which we can assess the extent of hair loss, thinning, or receding hair around your temples and discuss whether a transplant is the best possible way forward.

While most clients are great candidates for hair transplantation, this may depend on the availability of donor follicles and any underlying reasons or causes for temple hair loss. We also speak with clients who have not experienced hair loss but are generally unhappy with their natural hair growth pattern and wish to correct this.

In some cases, a treatment such as PRP therapy—plasma-rich platelet therapy—may be an excellent way to stimulate inactive or dormant follicles, either as a standalone treatment, to prepare hair for a transplant or to contribute to a faster recovery time and thicker hair regrowth post-procedure.

Please contact us at your convenience to learn more about the criteria for a successful hair transplant or to access further guidance about supplementary therapies.

Is a Temple Hair Transplant Permanent?

Yes, professional hair transplantation is expected to last permanently. We always advise that some initial shedding is a normal part of the recovery process and a sign that the transplanted follicles are starting to heal and ‘bed down’. If temple hair loss is linked to pattern hair loss, this could mean that you experience further areas of thinning in the future, but the transplant should remain healthy and thick over the long term. 

Will The Procedure Leave Scars?

No – we often speak with clients who have heard of alternative, more invasive hair transplant techniques where a surgeon removes a strip of tissue along with the donor follicles. This procedure is not something we provide since FUE transplantation is safer, less invasive, and pain-free, extracting individual follicles one at a time to ensure there are no scars at either the donor or transplant sites.

How Long Is the Average Recovery Time?

Hair transplant recovery times can vary, depending on the number of grafts we have needed to complete to achieve your required hairline and the area covered by the treatment. However, clients usually find that the hair follicle transplant areas start to heal nicely within just a week since the incisions made are tiny and invisible to the naked eye.

Full recovery and ongoing hair regrowth begin at around six months, and you will see a thicker, fuller, natural hairline across your temples by around nine to 12 months. Learn more about hair transplant growth stages.

How Long Will a The Procedure Usually Take?

The duration of your temple hair transplant procedure will naturally depend on the number of grafts we need to complete, although all treatments are provided on a walk-in/walk-out basis, using local anaesthetic to avoid any pain or discomfort, but without requiring an overnight stay.
