About Wimpole Clinic

Wimpole Clinic, a distinguished name in hair restoration, has been at the forefront of the industry since its establishment in 1975. As one of the UK's longest-running hair transplant clinics, it has built a legacy of excellence from its flagship location on London's prestigious Harley Street. For nearly five decades, the clinic has been dedicated to providing patients with the most advanced and effective hair loss solutions, combining a rich history with a commitment to innovation and patient-centric care. This enduring presence in a competitive field is a testament to its consistent delivery of high-quality, natural-looking results and its unwavering focus on patient satisfaction, which has solidified its reputation as a trusted leader in the hair transplant world. The clinic is led by the eminent Dr. Michael May, a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) and a GMC-registered surgeon with over 25 years of specialized experience in hair restoration. Dr. May's impressive credentials are complemented by his significant contributions to the field, having personally performed over 10,000 procedures. This extensive experience grants him an unparalleled depth of expertise, making him a sought-after authority in hair transplantation. He has been instrumental in the development of the Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) technique, which is widely regarded as a gold standard in hair restoration. As a respected leader, Dr. May has served as president of both the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgery (BAHRS) and the European Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ESHRS). His leadership and extensive experience ensure that the entire surgical team at Wimpole Clinic operates at the highest standard of medical excellence and artistry, resulting in consistently exceptional outcomes for patients. Wimpole Clinic offers a comprehensive suite of advanced hair restoration techniques tailored to individual patient needs. The clinic specializes in both Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), a minimally invasive method known for its rapid recovery and virtually scar-free results, and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), also known as strip surgery, which is often recommended for patients requiring a large number of grafts in a single session. Beyond traditional scalp hair transplants, their surgical expertise extends to intricate procedures such as beard, moustache, and eyebrow transplants, allowing for a diverse range of aesthetic enhancements. The clinic also provides non-surgical treatments, including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, which utilizes the patient’s own blood to promote hair growth, alongside expert trichology services for diagnosing and treating various hair and scalp conditions, ensuring a holistic and comprehensive approach to hair health and restoration. Operating from state-of-the-art surgical theatres in London, Birmingham, Manchester, and other major UK cities, Wimpole Clinic provides a premium, safe, and comfortable patient experience. The clinic's commitment to quality and safety is underscored by its registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which has rated it as 'Good' across all areas. This dedication to excellence has been consistently recognized, with the Wimpole Clinic being named 'Hair Transplant Clinic of the Year' for four consecutive years (2021-2024) by Corporate LiveWire. With thousands of 5-star reviews on Google and Trustpilot, the clinic prides itself on a patient journey that is as seamless and positive as the final results, offering accessible, world-class care from initial consultation through to comprehensive post-operative support across the nation.
