Karen Addisson, Founding Partner and Clinical Director of Sur Wellness, has over two decades of experience in surgical aesthetics and is a leading voice in men’s health and cosmetic innovation. Her decision to introduce advanced hair restoration treatments at Sur reflects her continued commitment to bringing elite-level expertise to Glasgow, driven by the growing demand for male-focused treatments delivered to the highest surgical standards. As a clinician and thought leader, she believes men deserve access to discreet, credible treatments that address both aesthetics and well-being.
Let’s talk about something most men would rather ignore—hair loss. One day, you’re rocking a full head of hair, and the next, you’re strategically styling what’s left. Sound familiar?
The good news is, you don’t have to accept it. Hair transplants have advanced massively, and at Sur Wellness, we offer cutting-edge FUE treatments performed by some of the UK’s leading specialists. Whether you want a subtle touch-up or full restoration, we deliver precision, artistry, and first-class aftercare.
I have carefully selected a team of surgeons and technicians whose expertise in FUE, PRP, and regenerative therapies reflects not only the calibre of care we uphold at Sur, but also my personal belief in advancing men’s health through credible, evidence based interventions. This is more than a cosmetic service—it’s a clinical solution that addresses both the physical and psychological dimensions of hair loss.
Why More Men Are Choosing Hair Transplants
Hair restoration isn’t just for footballers and celebrities anymore. The UK’s hair transplant market is set to hit £400 million by 2030, with more men realising that hair loss is optional.
And let’s be clear—it’s no longer a taboo subject or a secretive procedure. Hair transplants have become as common as laser eye surgery, and rightfully so. If your vision starts to blur, you fix it. If your hair starts to disappear, why wouldn’t you do the same? Men are finally seeing it for what it is—an investment in themselves, their confidence, and their future.
''The psychological impact of hair loss is often underestimated,'' says Dr. Jamie Harrison, Hair Transplant Surgeon at Sur Wellness. ''Restoring a patient’s hair isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about restoring confidence, self-assurance, and quality of life.''
How Does a Hair Transplant Work?
If you’re considering a transplant, here’s what to expect:
Step 1: Consultation: Hair Analysis
Your journey starts with a detailed consultation where we assess your hair loss, discuss your goals, and determine the best treatment plan.
''A successful transplant starts with careful planning,'' explains Paula Cale, Senior Hair Transplant Technician. ''We design a hairline that suits the patient’s facial structure and will look natural for years to come.''
Step 2: Choosing the Right Method
At Sur Wellness, we specialise in FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)—the most advanced and minimally invasive technique available. This method involves extracting individual hair follicles and implanting them for a natural look, without linear scarring or major downtime.
We also offer PRP & Stem Cell Therapy, non-surgical treatments that strengthen thinning hair and slow further loss.
Step 3: The Procedure
The treatment is performed under local anaesthesia. While the numbing injections can be slightly uncomfortable, we use a range of techniques to ensure they are as comfortable as possible. Once the area is numb, you won’t feel a thing.
Depending on the number of grafts, the procedure takes between 4-8 hours.
''Hair transplantation is a precise and delicate process,'' says Nicky Blow, Hair Transplant Technician. ''Every graft is carefully placed to match the natural direction of growth, ensuring seamless results.''
Step 4: Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients can return to work after 4 days, but we recommend taking 7 days off for optimal recovery—or 14 days if your job involves heavy labour or a dirty environment.
''Aftercare is crucial for success,'' says Dr. Harrison. ''We provide detailed post-op guidance and follow-up treatments to maximise growth and ensure the best possible outcome.''
