By reading this article and opening the attached links, you will have verifiable, undeniable proof that all Turkish Hair Transplant Clinics & numerous UK & European Hair Transplant Clinics are cutting corners by eliminating recognised & essential parts of their procedures. By doing so they’re effectively RIPPING-OFF THEIR OWN PATIENT’S!
At High Density Hair Transplants we use the 'Selection' process for extracting grafts containing the highest numbers of hairs, to give our patients as much density/volume as is available to them. Only using single and 2 hair grafts in the hairline/recession areas to replicate a softer, natural looking hairline.
When I was a teen I had an incredible Doctor. Incredible because he could balance the ash on the end of his cigarette until it was at least twice as long as the butt he kept constantly between his lips. He was one of life’s characters. He was a good doctor and I trusted him. It wasn’t until I entered the hair transplant Industry years later that my respect toward some of my ‘learned friends’ within my industry has diminished somewhat.
Very recently I advertising spotted advertising from one of our competitors offering F.U.E. (follicular Unit Extraction) at incredibly low costs. They were offering £2000 for 20000 grafts!! - That's cheap!
They also equated 2000 grafts to 4000 hairs, stating that 1 graft equalled 2 hairs?
Most people researching hair transplant surgery will know that grafts differ in hair content. Some are single hair grafts, some 2/3 hair grafts, 4 /5, and even 6 hair grafts.
I asked an old friend, a world renown Hair Transplant surgeon his opinion on mega session procedures being offered on the net?
One clinic in particular were offering upwards of 10,000 grafts or more in a split 2 day session?
10,000 holes punched into anyone's scalp in an extended session seemed extreme to me, so I emailed him for his views.
Cristo Foufas, one of London's top radio presenters, talks about his hair transplant procedure. "I came to HDHT as I was starting to get self-conscious about my hair loss, and wanted a solution which was reasonably priced, but more importantly not too painful!"
On our blog we have already made clear our respect for Wayne Rooney when he was brave enough to go completely public about his hair restoration procedure. We believed it generated extremely positive publicity for our industry. However, the press are now questioning the value of his recent Hair Transplant Procedure.
As a former Mancunian, I'm almost ashamed to admit that I have absolutely no interest in football. Whether it be Manchester United or Manchester City it really doesn't matter to me.
Had you asked me who Wayne Rooney was I would have told you he was probably one of the most skilful and successful footballers in the world today and a household name, not only in the UK but across the globe. Ask me what number he wears and I wouldn't have a clue.
The Wayne Rooney hair transplant has become public knowledge and has transformed his look, he has pulled it off completely and is definitely now my favourite footballer.
Before the advent of Hair Restoration Surgery back in the mid 1970′s. I promoted hair pieces for Paul Brendon Salon's in Manchester. One of my first clients a 65 year old gentleman called George provided me with what I can only describe as a 'profound experience'. An experience that impacted on my life and has continued to do ever since.
To those of us who worry about hair loss and thinning hair it makes interesting reading. So here's my recollection of the events that can only be described as a really 'moving experience':
It's just been reported that celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsey had had his hair transplanted for a cool 30k
This begs the question why he didn't contact "High Density Hair Transplants" in Athens and have a word with me? We would have performed the identical procedure F.U.E. (Follicular Unit Extraction) – No Scar Technique – for fraction of the price and the chances are that he wouldn't have had post-operative swelling to contend with either!
"I arrived at the clinic at 8.30 am as arranged. They were closed. I sat in my car in the parking lot until 10 am when they finally arrived and opened up. One of the staff made some mumbled excuse for their being late and I was ushered to a room where I waited another half-hour before I was led to the operating room. I wasn't even offered a cup of tea for my trouble.
Three Score Years and Ten has for centuries been considered as the average life expectancy before, to quote William Shakespeare, one was expected to "shuffle off this mortal coil"
Not so, if you are to believe current life expectancy estimates recently issued by the UK's Department of Work and Pensions.They say that something like 17% of 10.6 million people will live to celebrate their 100th birthdays. That's an incredible 1 in 5 of us are expected to live to the ripe old age of 5 score years!
