If you are worried about having this procedure please read on. Firstly I hate needles/doctors/hospitals etc. I have fortunately not had to spend much time myself doing any of the above. So for me to take the plunge was a big ask. Thankfully I had nothing to worry about. Here is the complete and frank experience I had. Firstly you will be picked up at the airport. Taken to your lovely hotel next to the hospital. You will then have your blood sample taken. The next morning you will have a superb choice at breakfast. Then off to the hospital. Mulham who is a very courteous and charming man will meet you in the reception area. You will then be taken to the operating theatre. Which is meticulously clean. Make sure you wear a shirt or a top that you dont pull over your head. You will meet the doctor and nurses. Agree what areas you want covering and where your hairline will be. The only little bit of pain was the first couple of minutes when they numb the harvesting area of hair. This is caused by the injections. But subsides after appx 2 minutes. Occasionally when taking the hair an area would still be a bit sensitive. So I put my hand up, and they will inject that spot to completely numb it. This happened maybe twice during the several hours of the operation. So nothing to worry about. I had my double crown area and front hairline done. It took maybe 6hrs or so. And I stopped for a spot to eat during the procedure. The worst part for me was the first night after the operation. I found it very hard to sleep. I was not in any pain. Just could not get comfortable to sleep without worrying about my position. Otherwise the whole thing is a doddle. I can only recommend this to anyone who wants normal or a better hair style. Its 5 months on now and I can already see a massive difference. Cant wait for the full effect in another 7 months. I look younger now…lol
The clinic is very clean and professional. I could not have asked for anymore. They will put some music on. Or take some of your own? The girls dont speak much English. But a smile and a few words is enough. I would go back if required. Some of my friends are also going after I explained my experience. And they have seen my hair change!!!
In our daily practice at the hospital, we meet two types of patients. The first group is ready for transformation and seeks the permanent solution of a hair transplant. The second, and perhaps larger group, asks a critical question: “Doctor, is surgery my only option?” The answer, fortunately, is no. While hair transplantation remains the […]
Hair loss is a progressive condition that affects not only your appearance but also your psychological well-being. For decades, patients felt their only choices were invasive surgery or ineffective topical creams. However, the field of regenerative medicine has evolved rapidly, offering powerful biological solutions that harness the body’s own ability to heal. If you are […]
Managing the daily challenges of an autoimmune condition like lupus is demanding, and noticing sudden hair thinning or scarring can add a significant emotional burden. While lupus-related hair loss can be complex, understanding the difference between systemic shedding and discoid lesions is the first step toward finding the right treatment to manage symptoms and encourage […]
