Research hair restoration clinics

Once you’ve spoken about the treatment and your husband is set on having it done it is important to research different hair restoration clinics. Research is a key point to ensuring your husband gets the best hair transplant possible.

You should also look for what hair restoration treatments they offer, reviews, if their staff are doctors and what kind of aftercare they offer. Once you’ve done this you’ll a better idea of how professional a clinic is and you’ll be able to narrow down your search.

Book in consultations

Most reputable clinics will require you to have a face to face consultation to really asses your hair loss and discuss realistic results with you. We think it’s really important to visit a few of the top clinics on your list, having a look over their website and maybe an online/phone consultation is great but we think it’s important to go to the clinic in person.

This way, you’ll get a feel for the area and the clinic and you’ll be able to see if it matches up to what you saw online. During a consultation at the Harley Street Hair Clinic, we can also introduce you to the doctor who will be working on your hair transplant – this way you get to meet all of the staff and really get a feel for how we work.

It’s a good idea for you and your husband to attend the consultation, for some, it can be quite nerve-racking and all of the information can be hard to digest. Not only will there be two sets of ears in the room to gather any information you can always step in with any questions you feel have been missed.

Decide on a clinic and book in

Once you’ve visited a few of the clinics you liked it’s a good idea to sit down and both discuss what clinic you feel is the best fit. You can make a pros and cons list to help with the decision and include items such as; is a doctor used for the procedure, good case studies, in a good/close area, good price or payment options etc.

Once your husband is set on a clinic it’s time to book in for the treatment. Depending on your schedule it would be nice if you could go with your husband on the day of the procedure to ensure he is feeling fine beforehand, and it is also nice to have someone to go home with after the procedure.
