Hair Loss & Hair Transplants

Mike Thurston FUE Hair Transplant Patient Story

May 4, 2020 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

Mike Thurston is a personal trainer and online fitness coach who came to us back in early 2019 seeking hair loss advice.

Mike had always been prepared to experience a degree of hair loss as he knew his dad had suffered with hair loss from an early age. Having previously had quite thick hair during his teens, Mike started to notice his hair thinning and certain hair styles were making this more prominent.

In 2017, Mike decided to admit defeat and shave his hair off to a buzz cut which at the time he felt would disguise the bald pattern of hair loss however he started to grow his hair back and used products to make it appear fuller with a stronger hairline. Over time however he felt this was a lot of effort to maintain and he either needed to commit to a buzz cut or start looking into a more permanent solution such as a hair transplant.

Mike started his research to find out more about the procedure and decided to come along for a consultation at The Private Clinic with expert hair transplant surgeon, Dr Ragu Reddy.

Dr Reddy provided Mike with a lot of information and advice for him to think about and consider before he decided to go ahead with a FUE Hair Transplant procedure.

“The big thing about when you get a hair transplant done is that it really is down to the surgeon who is doing the procedure. If I am getting something like this done on my hairline, which is very important to me and which a lot of people are going to see…  I want it to be done by the best of the best and I don’t care if it does cost me a lot of money. It is like anything in life, you get what you pay for. So I wanted to find somebody who knows what they are doing, somebody who has experience, somebody who has been doing it for years, someone who has been very consistent with delivering results and somebody who a long list of testimonials that I could look at and get some confidence from”

Mike arrived at The Private Clinic of Harley Street ready for his 2-day FUE Hair Transplant procedure. Around 1270 grafts were extracted and used to treat the hairline and the crown.

The recovery period for Mike went well and the only problem he found was not being able to exercise which was previously part of his daily routine. After three weeks, Mike did experience shock loss to his crown, and it was not until 6 months post-procedure that he started to notice the results in that area – which is very normal.

Mike prides his recovery on his healthy lifestyle including:

  • Eating a nutritious diet
  • Regularly exercise
  • Reduced alcohol consumption
  • Getting enough sleep
  • Not getting stressed

Mike also took finasteride and applied topical minoxidil which he felt has helped to maintain his results.

Now, 12 months on Mike is thrilled with the results from his hair transplant and offers any patients considering a hair transplant the following advice:

  • Do your research into the procedure, clinic and surgeon
  • Attend a consultation to assess your suitability
  • Shave your head first to see if you like it – you may not choose to go ahead with a hair transplant

FUE Hair Transplant at The Private Clinic

  • You will be treated by highly experienced Doctors. Our Hair Transplant surgeons are highly skilled in FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and treat hundreds of patients every year.
  • FUE is a minimally invasive treatment (meaning there is no cutting of a strip) and carried out under local anaesthetic – many patients either watch TV, or even fall asleep during the procedure.
  • You will not require any stitches after your treatment. This means that the recovery time is also reduced when compared to the Strip surgery (FUT).
  • We use the finest instruments, resulting in as minimal trauma to your scalp as possible.
  • Thanks to our advanced skills and techniques, our team ensure that the donor looks intact after the hair transplant procedure and you can keep your hair really short if you prefer without any obvious scarring.
  • Following treatment, there will be no linear scarring across the back of your head as seen with the strip method (FUT) – you will be free to wear your hair long or short.
  • We choose the best follicular unit (a group of hairs), this ensures that only the strongest, healthiest grafts are used for your hair transplant procedure.
  • Your results will look natural, with denser packing – the hair is implanted in the direction that matches your hair growth.
  • We are one of the very few clinics able to offer the Unshaven Hair Transplant (U-FUE) (the long-hair hair transplant), to those who prefer not to shave beforehand. At your consultation, we will be able to advise you on whether an unshaven procedure is suitable for you.
  • Scars resulting from injuries or previous surgeries can also be corrected. In fact, 30% of all patients that come to us have been somewhere before and need further work to improve on a disappointing result. This could be a previous bad hair transplant, or we can cover linear scars caused from FUT hair transplants.

Importance of Donor Area in Hair Transplant

November 22, 2019 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

There are three important factors to achieving a good result from a hair transplant procedure. A natural looking result, good coverage and efficient use of the donor area. Of course these factors will always be dependent on the skill and precision of your surgeon but it should always be their priority to reduce any trauma to the donor area and avoiding depletion.

What is a donor area?

The donor area for hair transplants is located at the back and sometimes the sides of the scalp. The hair that grows in his area is known to be genetically resistant to male pattern baldness the effects of male hormones such as DHT. The stable hair growth that occurs in the donor area makes the hair ideal for transplantation as it is permanently growing and will remain unaffected.

Your hair transplant surgeon will seek to extract the strongest follicles of hair as this will determine the final results from the procedure. Hair follicles that have good strength, volume and are robust will help to ensure that the patient achieves the best results.

How is the donor hair removed?

It is important when extracting the donor hair that it is done in a precise manner which takes a high level of skill. This ensures that the donor area and hair is not damaged during the procedure.

During a follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant procedure the surgeon will use a specialised punch device, ranging in diameter from 0.6mm – 0.9mm. This device will make very small entry points into the scalp to extract follicular units complete with necessary glands. This technique also separates surrounding tissue from the unit which results in minimal trauma to the donor area and better results.

A follicular unit transplantation (FUT) hair transplant procedure involves cutting a strip of skin from the donor area before then extracting individual follicular units. This is why FUT Hair Transplants are also known as strip harvesting. The donor area will require stitches and often results in a linear scar in the donor area.

What is donor area depletion?

Donor area depletion is when the donor area of the scalp is overharvested. When the donor site is overharvested it can cause damage to the area resulting in the hair follicles becoming low quality meaning they will not be able to be used again in any other further hair transplant procedures. Overharvesting can also cause baldness in the donor area which can then be very difficult to restore. Overharvesting can occur in large hair graft procedures that are carried out too quickly.

How can I avoid overharvesting?

The best way to avoid overharvesting is communication with your surgeon. Don’t be afraid to ask them about overharvesting and listen to what they have to say on the topic. A skilled surgeon should be able to reassure you and is likely to schedule multiple hair transplant sessions should they feel it to be necessary in order to maintain the quality of your donor area.

How to take care of my donor area?

Following a hair transplant procedure, patients will be provided with a list of aftercare advice. It is really important that this is followed to ensure the best healing. Medications should be taken on time and alcohol should be avoided for at least a week following your procedure – smoking too!

Your entire head should not be exposed to excessive direct sunlight for 3-4 weeks after transplant and we recommend wearing a loose hat to ensure protection from other elements such as rain.

Will there be scarring in my donor area?

All hair transplant procedures carry the risk of scarring in the donor area. FUT Hair Transplants will often result in a visible linear scar running across the donor area.  Scarring following a FUE Hair Transplant is a lot more minimal and can appear as very small circular white dots that may be noticeable when the head is shaved.

Our highly experienced hair transplant surgeons will work very hard to ensure that all scarring is kept to a minimum allowing patients to wear their hair as they wish following a hair transplant procedure at The Private Clinic.

Our surgeons also offer hair transplant scar repair where hair transplant procedures are carried out with the aim of reducing the appearance of scarring on the scalp that may have occurred from a former hair transplant procedure, injury, birthmark, burn or other skin condition.

Celebrity Hair Transplants

July 22, 2019 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

Hair loss is no longer a taboo subject, everyone is discussing it and media is awash with experts suggesting ways to help prevent it. Unfortunately when it comes to replacing it, it is a little difficult to restore what has already been lost on a more permanent basis unless you are willing to consider hair transplant surgery.

Men are no longer going into hiding pre and post hair transplant surgery with many sharing their stories with friends, family, colleagues and even online – it is much more common now to see celebrities being honest about having a hair transplant procedure which is why we believe the previous secrecy behind it is slowly reducing.

Wayne Rooney Before After Hair Transplant

We have covered celebrity hair transplants in previous blogs, taking a look at Wayne Rooney, James Nesbitt and Calum Best to name a few who have all been very open about their hair transplant procedures helping many men to seek advice and help for a problem they may have been struggling with for a number of years.

Recent headlines feature Coronation Street star Alan Halsall who previously had a hair transplant in 2016 and went on to have a second treatment in March 2019. Alan Halsall grew increasingly self-conscious about his thinning hair before he finally decided to have a hair transplant procedure. He now states that having a hair transplant has given him more confidence and that people have it done all the time – it’s not something to be ashamed of.

Jack P Shepherd who also appears on Coronation Street as David Platt very openly had a FUE Hair Transplant procedure after he began to notice a big change in the shape and fullness of his hairline.

“I remember seeing myself on screen and thinking: ‘Oh my God, it is really falling out.’

Jack had 3,000 hairs transplanted into the front of his hairline in December 2018 so he has not yet unveiled the final results he has been seen to be pleased and also commented that “It’s such a common thing for guys to have now – like a male version of the boob job.”

Tennis superstar Rafa Nadal was once known for having an impressive head of hair but back in 2016 he underwent a hair transplant procedure after noticing thinning especially around the crown which proves that no one is immune to hair loss.

In our clinic recently we had body builder and now personal trainer, Mike Thurston come in for FUE Hair Transplant surgery. Mike explained how he was always prepared for hair loss having noticed that it seems to run in the family. After struggling to style it he decided to shave his hair off and embrace the buzz cut for a few months before gradually letting it grow back and using certain hair loss products to give a fuller experience to his head of hair. Eventually Mike felt enough was enough and visited Dr Raghu Reddy in our Harley Street clinic to discuss the prospect of a FUE Hair Transplant procedure.

Training and exercise is a big part of Mike Thurston’s life so that was a big deciding factor when it came to considering a hair transplant procedure but after listening to Dr Reddy’s advice and recommendations the procedure day was booked and 5000 hairs were transplanted to Mike’s hairline and crown over a 2 day period.

Mike is still in the early days following his hair transplant procedure so we can’t wait to see him back in clinic in 6-9 months’ time to start seeing the final results but in the meantime take a look at his YouTube video to follow the first half of his hair transplant journey.

Is it possible to reverse a hair transplant?

April 12, 2019 by Julia Morgan Leave a Comment

Many patients have looked into the possibility of getting a hair transplant abroad instead of choosing the UK. One of the popular destinations to get cheap hair transplants is Turkey; Turkey has definitely become one of the top destinations for hair transplant among Britons.

However, many are unaware of the danger of some of these clinics. It has been reported that some of these clinics operate illegally and many of the nurses and practitioners do not have the required medical qualifications or training to perform the procedure. The dangers of having a hair transplant performed by inexperienced surgeons can lead to several problems including un-natural looking hairline, wrongly implanted hair follicles which might grow in the wrong direction or overall unsatisfactory results.

Unfortunately this is a reality for many, however, there are a few treatments you can undergo to reverse a hair transplant.

Can I correct a previous hair transplant?

If you are suffering from a poorly executed hair transplant you can certainly undergo a reverse hair transplant. The surgeon will be able to remove the implanted follicles and replace them into other treatment areas. Nonetheless, there are some risks involved such as a less natural-looking hairline. Scars resulting from injuries or previous surgeries can also be corrected.

At The Private Clinic around 30% of patients who come to see us have had a previous hair transplant with disappointing results or required further work. Our expert hair restoration surgeons are able to seamlessly cover the scars left by a previous FUT hair transplant which typically results in a linear scar across the back of the head.

Scalp Micropigmentation

Another non-surgical option for patients who have decided to shave their hair is scalp micropigmentation.  Scalp micropigmentation can help disguise the scars of your previous hair transplant and give the illusion of a denser and fully packed hairline. This is a great alternative for patients who do not want to undergo a surgical hair transplant.

How can I avoid a bad hair transplant?

Doing your research is imperative when it comes down to any cosmetic and surgical procedure in order to ensure your safety and be able to achieve the best results.

  • Research if the clinic counts with registered medical facilities or CQC (Care Quality Commission) registered medical facilities.
  • Are face to face consultations offered? It is very important that you book a consultation with your hair restoration surgeon in order to assess your suitability for the treatment and ensure you will be getting the results you want.
  • Check if the clinic offers FUE hair transplants as well as U-FUE hair transplants (unshaven FUE hair transplants).
  • Read online reviews from trustworthy websites such as Trustpilot, Google reviews and Facebook review in order to find out about past patient experiences.
  • Check the doctor’s certifications. For example, at The Private Clinic, our surgeons are part of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and the Italian Society of Hair Restoration (ISHR).
  • Ask to see before and after images to find out about the type of results that can be expected for the surgeon.

Why you should choose The Private Clinic?

At The Private Clinic, we work with highly skilled hair restoration surgeon’s experts in FUE and U-FUE hair restoration techniques.

How can I get the best quality hair transplant?

April 3, 2019 by Julia Morgan Leave a Comment

After careful consideration, you have now decided to go ahead with a hair transplant and it’s time to decide which clinic to go for.  Choosing the right clinic for your Hair Transplant procedure can be a difficult decision as there are a few things to consider ensuring you achieve your desired results. In this blog post, we will be giving some top tips on how to find the best hair transplant clinic to achieve the best hair transplant results.

hair transplant procedure men

Choosing the right hair transplant clinic.

When looking for a hair transplant clinic there are a few points to consider. The first thing we recommend doing is to look into what type of hair transplant methods they have.

  • Is the advanced FUE hair transplant technique available? Do they offer the U-FUE, the Unshaven Hair Transplant? What would happen if you are in a premature stage of hair loss? Clinics like The Private Clinic have a trichology department to help treat premature hair loss and address scalp issues or other hair problems.
  • Are face to face consultations offered? In order to best assess your scalp and recommend the best treatment for each patients need it is imperative that a face to face consultation is arranged. All reputable surgeons will require you to attend a face to face consultation pre-procedure. They will not suggest that you just send over a photo.
  • Another important tip is to research the hair transplant aftercare available. It is important to find out how many follow up consultations are provided and the availability of on-call medical staff in case you have some questions or concerns that need answering after your procedure
  • In order to know what type of results can be expected from a hair transplant at a particular clinic or from a particular surgeon, looking at hair transplant before and after photos is imperative. Before and after pictures can give you a general indication of the type of result that can be achieved. Are the results natural? Is the hair densely packed?

  • Another important tip is to look for patient reviews on online websites such as Google reviews, Trustpilot or Facebook. Patient reviews can give a first-hand insight on what to expect from the clinic, the results and customer care and aftercare.
  • Does the clinic have registered medical facilities? Research if the clinic has CQC (Care Quality Commission) registered medical facilities.

How do I know if the hair transplant surgeon is good?

Choosing the right surgeon is very important in order to achieve the best results. You should research the surgeon’s experience, possible affiliation to certain societies (ISHRS, International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery).

At The Private Clinic, we work with highly acclaimed hair restoration surgeons who work across our clinics in the UK.

  • We offer the FUE hair restoration technique which is the most advanced and effective hair restoration technique available.

  • The results are outstanding, resulting in a natural-looking and densely packed head of hair.
  • At The Private Clinic, we also offer the U-FUE (Unshaven Hair Transplant), an alternative to FUE hair transplant that doesn’t require the patient to shave their hair, making this procedure very discrete.

All the information you need about Hair Transplants

March 27, 2019 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

Many of us take our hair for granted, not truly knowing the upset it can cause when you notice your hair thinning out or your hairline receding. There are a variety of products and supplements out there that can help to restore thicker looking locks but if the hair has been lost then often the damage has already been done. In these cases, a hair transplant is usually the treatment of choice for many men. Hair transplant procedures are consistently growing in popularity and we have put together a source of all the information you need to know before making the decision to proceed.

What is a hair transplant?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure designed to restore hair into areas on the scalp that are thinning or receding. Donor hair is taken from the back of the head and reinserted into the areas that are being treated. There are a few different types of hair transplant procedures, FUE and FUT being the most common techniques.

FUE follicular unit extraction hair transplant

FUT otherwise known as Follicular Unit Transplantation or strip harvesting involves taking a strip of hair from the back of the scalp which is then cut and divided into separate hair follicles which are then inserted back into the scalp into the areas being treated.

FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplant procedures require the surgeon to make multiple small entry points using a specialised punch device into the back of the scalp to take hair follicles directly from the donor area. The follicles are then prepared and placed back into the areas being treated.

At The Private Clinic, we have been perfecting our FUE technique over the past 10 years and we are able to achieve the most natural results. Many patients are put off by the risk of being left with a long linear scar at the back of the hair following a FUT transplant and for this reason, more and more patients come to us for FUE.

Hair Transplant UK Reviews

“I had an FUE hair transplant a week ago today and I cannot thank the team enough. The whole process was effortless and the team took really good care of me. My procedure was with Dr Tam who explained the procedure in detail and really put me at ease. The procedure it’s self was a surprise as it was completely painless, I was expecting some discomfort but I was wrong. To be honest I could have fallen asleep that’s how relaxed I was. I’ve already had visible growth in my new hairline which myself and Dr Tam spent time designing. I can’t wait to see the full and final results. For anyone looking at having this procedure, I would highly recommend the private clinic. It’s definitely one of the best decisions I’ve made, after years of covering up my hairline I am finally going to get my confidence back. Massive thanks to Dr Tam who has undoubtedly changed my life. Thanks to his team who helped with the procedure although I’m sorry that I cannot remember your names. Also thanks to Louisa and Nabeel who have communicated and supported me through my procedure.”

Elliott, Bristol – TrustPilot

The best thing about having my FUE hair transplant at the private clinic in Harley Street was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. From the first consultation to the procedure itself they give you the best care possible and genuinely care about their work. They set you at ease immediately which makes everything run smoothly. I would like to thank Henry, Umar, Bev and of course Dr Reddy for the way they treated me. I could have not chosen a better option. Thanks to the team and for anyone in 2 minds about a procedure, go for it … this team is the best.

Greg, London – TrustPilot

After looking at plenty of clinics for a hair transplant I settled on The Private Clinic in Leeds after reading the great reviews. From the initial consultation with Dr Mouzakis, Sorena and Nabeel to the day of my transplant the team have been superb. The surgery was practically painless and I am very happy with my new hairline, all the team were constantly ensuring I was ok and were very professional. The aftercare I have received has been great and I’ve had phone call already to check how I am. I like also like knowing that I can phone at any time if I need any advice.

Why Choose The Private Clinic for a Hair Transplant Procedure?

  • You will be treated by highly experienced Doctors. Our Hair Transplant surgeons are highly skilled in FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and treat hundreds of patients every year.
  • FUE is a minimally invasive treatment (meaning there is no cutting of a strip), and carried out under local anaesthetic – many patients either watch TV, or even fall asleep during the procedure.
  • You won’t require any stitches after your treatment. This means that the recovery time is also reduced when compared to the Strip surgery (FUT).
  • We use the finest instruments, resulting in as minimal trauma to your scalp as possible.
  • Thanks to our advanced skills and techniques, our team ensure that the donor looks intact after the hair transplant procedure and you can keep your hair really short if you prefer without any obvious scarring.
  • Following treatment, there will be no linear scarring across the back of your head as seen with the strip method (FUT) – you’ll be free to wear your hair long or short.
  • We choose the best follicular unit (a group of hairs), this ensures that only the strongest, healthiest grafts are used for your hair transplant procedure.
  • Your results will look natural, with denser packing – the hair is implanted in the direction that matches your hair growth.
  • We are one of the very few clinics able to offer the Unshaven Hair Transplant (U-FUE) (the long-hair hair transplant), to those who prefer not to shave beforehand. At your consultation, we will be able to advise you on whether an unshaven procedure is suitable for you.
  • Scars resulting from injuries or previous surgeries can also be corrected. In fact 30% of all patients that come to us have been somewhere before and need further work to improve on a disappointing result. This could be a previous bad hair transplant or we can cover linear scars caused from FUT hair transplants.
