Empowering your hair journey
A gender-inclusive practice in London
A transgender hair transplant is a key aesthetic procedure aimed at aligning your external appearance more closely with your gender identity.
The strategy for your hair transplant will vary based on your goals and existing hairline. Masculine hairlines tend to have a broader forehead and an M-shaped recession at the temples, while feminine hairlines typically feature a softer, more rounded curve. Our experts will work with you to design a hairline that aligns with your gender identity and aesthetic preferences.
It’s important to consider the timing of your hair transplant in relation to any ongoing hormone therapy. For the best results we recommend completing your hormone therapy first and allowing your hormone levels to stabilise. This ensures that the transplanted hair adapts optimally to your new hormonal environment.
Aiding your transition
Male-to-female (MTF) transition
If you are transitioning from male to female, it's often advisable to undergo any necessary topographically reformative surgeries before undertaking a hair transplant.
As your body responds to hormonal changes, particularly in oestrogen levels, you might consider hairline feminisation (lowering or rounding the hairline) and eyebrow hair transplantation for a softer, more feminine facial framing.
Support when you need it
Female-to-male (FTM) transition
For those transitioning from female to male, hormonal treatments increasing DHT levels can influence beard growth. If DHT causes irregular or patchy beard growth, a beard hair transplant can help achieve a fuller, more aesthetically pleasing beard.
The transplant can be tailored to your desired beard style, taking into account the distribution of hair established by hormone therapy and its effects on your facial features.
