"I was disappointed that this meant the results would be less full than expected"
John, Ireland - 28.10.2025
I am sharing my personal experience to provide insight for others considering treatment.When I booked my procedure, the clinic was affiliated with a larger international franchise, but I later learned that this partnership had ended, and it now operates independently. I had originally agreed to a follow-up session to improve the outcome of my first treatment, but it was not carried out.In 2019, I underwent a one-day FUT hair restoration procedure. I requested a line shave rather than a full shave, which reduced the number of possible grafts. On the day of treatment, I was informed that only around half of the initially planned grafts could be completed due to donor area limitations. While I appreciated the explanation, I was disappointed that this meant the results would be less full than expected.During the procedure, communication was challenging as not all staff spoke fluent English. I also noticed that one assistant was not consistently wearing a mask, which made me concerned about hygiene. The operation felt rushed, and there was little time afterwards to ask questions or discuss next steps.Several years later, I still find the results below expectations, with some unevenness and scalp sensitivity. Overall, I was dissatisfied with the reduced graft number, limited follow-up, and communication difficulties. I would recommend that future patients confirm all procedural details in writing before committing.
Consultation and future transplant I had a consultation with Les just over three weeks ago. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated the simple fact that I was told exactly as things were and felt no pressure. I've been to other clinics of a similar nature and I just felt pressured into buying products, or was not convinced of the professionalism of the clinic. In one case, another clinic simply asked me my budget and when I told them, they lost interest, I felt like there was no care factor at all. I have already booked a transplant surgery date with Dr. Nel this November and I would highly recommend Therapie Hair Restoration to anybody who was considering a transplant.
