How to choose a hair transplant clinic

ISHRS and similar professional groups emphasise that hair restoration is surgery. Ask who makes the incisions, who harvests, and who places grafts. A famous brand name with technicians doing the critical steps is a different product than a named surgeon who stays in the room. Board certification in a relevant surgical or dermatologic field is a starting filter, not a personality contest. Request unedited donor and recipient photos of patients with your hair type and pattern, not only celebrity lighting. If the consult refuses to talk about shock loss, ongoing AGA, or a plan if you go further bald, keep walking.

Red flags: 'unlimited grafts,' guaranteed teenage density, pressure to fly tomorrow, payment only in cash, no written aftercare, and a quote that ignores medical therapy. Donor hair is a bank account. Overharvesting FUE to win a before-and-after photo can leave a moth-eaten permanent donor. Compare graft math to your Norwood or Ludwig stage and your hairstyle goals. Medical tourism can be done carefully or recklessly; language, revision access, and infection follow-up are part of the price even when the invoice looks cheap. Transplants do not treat active scarring disease.

Get a diagnosis first. Pattern loss usually still needs minoxidil or a DHT blocker if you want to protect native hair. This is not medical advice and not a clinic ranking. If you have bleeding disorders, poorly controlled illness, or unrealistic coverage goals, a responsible team will say no. That refusal is a quality signal.
