1. you do too little research before your hair transplant.
The stress of losing hair means that you often fall into a pitfall where you do not do the preliminary work well enough, therefore you usually choose the first best clinic. The first three results in Google are purchased results where anything can appear, so before and after pictures and reviews are something to look at in the first place before choosing a clinic so that you get the best possible result.
2. focusing solely on costs.
A hair transplant is not cheap. Although FUE is now standard in the industry, the final cost can vary from one clinic to another. It is easy to go for a cheaper option, but in the end it may not be the ideal choice for you. Keep in mind that the surgical procedure will affect how you look for the rest of your life, it is not wise to go under the knife of an incompetent surgeon when looking for cheap services.
3 Forget to check if the hair clinic is a member of a professional organisation.
A common pitfall that patients make is not conducting a background check on the surgeon.Important to review is whether the clinic is a member of any professional organisation. We at Akacia medical are members of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and is a global non-profit medical association and the leading authority on hair loss treatment and restoration. With more than 1,000 members in 70 countries worldwide, ISHRS is dedicated to achieving excellence in patient outcomes by promoting the highest standards of medical practice, medical ethics and research in the medical hair restoration industry.
4. does not check whether the clinic uses the latest technology.
Be sure to check if the clinic has the latest equipment and instruments. The devices used may vary depending on the technology used.
5. You take the clinic closest to your home.
Sometimes it can be worth travelling to get your hair done, the closest is not always the best.
