On a recent holiday my wife remarked that my hair was starting to look thin, a combination of the bright sunlight and wet hair from the pool making it more pronounced.

As a 60 year old this wasn't particularly surprising, especially as I had a small procedure 20 year previous to fill in the recession at the front of my head, the well known widows peak. This was carried out in Australia ,where I lived at the time, using the strip harvesting method. The process was very straight forward, but also very invasive, as a large strip at the back of my head was removed to provide the donor follicles .This was then sutured. It did however work very successfully.

The Doctor came to High Density Hair Transplants for his surgery and we are delighted with his his progress so far. The image on the top is the Doctor pre surgery. The image underneath at the bottom is the Doctor 8 days after his surgery in our Athens clinic. Some of his transplanted hairs will remain short until the first of the 3 blood cycles commences between 2/3 months, at which time the hairs will begin to grow. The remaining hairs will shed but will grow from root when the first blood supply begins.

I have always had a hairline that was slightly receded but it never went any further back up until I turned 32.

I started to notice just after my son was born that I had become a little thin at the front and I had a bit of thinning just behind my front hair line. I knew I had to do something about this so I went about this and started my hair transplant research there and then this was just over three years ago as I wanted to know what I could do to stop this.

Over the last six years or so I have had three procedures with Mal and his team in Athens, and each has been a positive and enjoyable experience.

The first two were to 'keep ahead of the game' as I had lost some hair, but the third was pure vanity. I didn't really need it but I just wanted to see how far I could go towards a full head of hair.

In my mid-30's my hair had receded a little at the temples and was also thinning in the crown area. I wanted a hair transplant and the results I had seen online seemed to be pretty good.

I started life as a High Density Hair Transplant patient and now help occasionally on the patient support side in the UK.

I had my transplant surgery in Oct last year and the results have literally transformed my looks and confidence.

I've added some of my pics so you can see for yourself. The first one was taken the day before my procedure. I went to Athens with my two girls and we enjoyed a week in the sun at the same time. As you can see my hair loss was significant.

Hi Mal, Just wanted to thank you for helping me tackle an issue I have had for the last couple of years. As you know being only 26, I had pretty bad crowning and recession issues (although I had a lot of hair elsewhere) which caused me major confidence issues and I wasted a lot of time on covering up my balding areas.

Peter Harris, former medical correspondent with the Manchester Evening News, writes: "I've spent much of my career writing about medical breakthroughs. Now I've had a chance to experience one for myself. After talking to hair loss expert Malcolm and seeing his own results, I opted for HDHT in Athens.

I have actor James Nesbitt to thank for regenerating my interest in hair replacement surgery. His recent public admission that he had undergone a clearly successful hair transplant encouraged me to have another look at the latest available techniques.

I recently had a hair transplant procedure at the High Density Hair Transplant clinic in Athens, and I can honestly say that the difference in just a few short weeks is astounding!

They are not only cheaper, but seemingly better, than their UK competitors. There is a real sense of thoughtfulness and a genuine pride in what they do, something that I did not get from consultations with several UK clinics. From the hospitality provided throughout, to the results I have seen so far, everything about my experience with HDHT in Athens went above and beyond all expectations.
