After many years of concentration I decided to get a hair transplants. I did my research and found a company with good reviews YORK HLC hair loss clinic. I was met my a friendly man called Lee who proceeded to explain to me the process that was involved. He showed me pictures of himself and he was totally bald and had no eyebrows. I’m no expert but looking at the man in front of me in his 50s had more hair then a teenage boy. In my opinion it was clear he was wearing a wig and stick on eyebrows. He recommended laser hair treatment. He said the laser I would be using was twice as powerful as the one used on him . He also used a small camera to exam my bald patch which was about 3 inches on the back of my head.As far as I could see there was no roots to grow but he insisted that I had lots . I payed my £2000 and started my once weekly 20 minute laser hair treatment. After six months nothing much had changed I had been taking the tables and applying the serum and shampoo that I was given. So I decided to go for the hair transplant and payed Lee £1300 to book the appointment. He said I was a perfect candidate as I had lots of hair to be transplanted and would have excellent results. I was booked in to Manchester hair clinic and was told it would be a full days treatment. I arrived in Manchester at 8.30 and had a conversation with my surgeon who was to carry out the surgery. After examining me he informed me that the results of my transplant would be not what I was expecting. I was devastated and disappointed as this was not what I had been informed at my consultant. As I had now invested £3300 plus the £1500 I had payed that day I decided to go ahead with the procedure. I was taken into a room had my head shaved and then had injections in my scalp to stop the pain.Then for the next 3 hours a young Filipino lady removed the hair from my head. After a quick sandwich I had more injections in the area that was to receive the hair. My surgeon now returned and made many small holes in my scalp that was to receive the hair transplant ( this was his only part in the process).Then a team of two Filipino ladies and a gentleman proceeded to reattach the hair to my head. After this the surgeon return and proceeded to tell me a well rehearsed 30 minute speech that he fitted into 10 minute’s of which I remember very little. He now wanted to sell me a treatment of plasma injections. He said as I was disappointed with what I had been told be my consultant he had contacted his boss and could do this at a reduced price of £300 instead of the price of £500 which I think was the price to everyone at this point I was so disappointed I agree. I had bandages put over my head and left to walk back to my car feeling like everyone was looking at me walking through the town centre of Manchester at the most busy time of day. For the next 14 days I followed the after care to the letter as I was told that this was the most important bit of the whole process. It has now over six months the area that the hair was removed from is still red and visible and a numbnesss in the transplant area not much has changed as far as regrowth goes. I was told it would take over a year to see the full results but I’m not holding out much hope. Still wearing a hat all the time and shaving my head to hid my embarrassment . All in all this was a very negative experience for me and one I would not recommend.
Last year I started to notice my hair thinning. Not only was it obvious to me but to others too which impacted my confidence. I wasn’t ready to go bald at the age of 26!
After experiencing hair loss and thinning around the front of my hair, I decided to opt for Newcastle Hair Loss Clinic as I had tried absolutely everything to try and regain my hair and nothing seemed to work. I took a 6 month course of red light therapy, tablets, minoxidil and medicated shampoo and conditioner. From using this, I have definitely noticed a difference! My baby hairs have all grown back, the health of my hair is much stronger and I have little to no hair fall after the shower. Isra has been amazing to work with, if I had any concerns she was there to help with her knowledge and put me at ease. If you are considering this clinic and still unsure to proceed, I would highly recommend to book a consultation at least to understand the best options for you. Thank you again to Isra, I will miss our little chats with each other.
I can’t recommend the Hair Loss Clinic (Newcastle) highly enough.
I would certainly recommend the laser treatment to anyone. It has made a huge impact on my life giving me my confidence back as the hair grew back with amazing results. I can’t thank the Carlisle clinic enough, Rick was a fantastic explaining the procedure and supporting the journey.
HLC (Brentwood, Essex)
I had been showing signs of hair loss for a while and decided to do something about it via Newcastle HLC. I was sceptical at first but now I am so glad that I went because having followed a 6 month treatment, I definitely saw improvement. Thanks so much to Israa who has been amazing throughout. I would strongly recommend the Newcastle branch to anyone.
Bad experience with HLC, and I won’t recommend anyone I know to use them. Whilst it might work for some and the before and after photos look promising, be wary that it doesn’t work for everyone and if you unfortunately fall into the category like me where it doesnt, don’t expect their guaranteed results fool you into thinking you can get back the thousands of pounds you paid to achieve the hair growth you wanted.
After experiencing thinning hair I attended the Carlisle clinic where Rick welcomed me and assessed my problem, he advised me on which treatment would be best for me and I’ve now completed my course of treatment. I’m really pleased with the outcome, my hair has thickened up and is in very good condition !
I only started treatment at Newcastle clinic and get my second one tomorrow. I will keep this updated and the outcome.
