Chicago, USA • FUE • 2500 Grafts • 5mo post-op
Average experience overall
I'll be honest — Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic was neither terrible nor amazing. Vladimir Panine and the team were fantastic. The procedure itself (2500 grafts, FUE) was professional. But I felt a bit rushed during consultation and the recovery instructions could have been clearer. 5 months in, growth is coming along but slowly. Some areas seem thinner than expected. It ran me about $14,100 all things considered.I'm still hopeful the final result will be good since I know full results take 12-18 months. Would rate higher if communication was better.
Pros
- + Fast recovery
- + Hotel arranged
- + Minimal scarring
- + Painless procedure
Cons
- − Shedding phase was stressful
- − Some numbness for weeks
- − Phone support hours limited
Tijuana, Mexico • FUE • 2500 Grafts • 18mo post-op
Life-changing results
I can't say enough good things about my experience at Capilar Hair Center. From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, everything was top-notch. The procedure itself was 5-6 hours and surprisingly comfortable. I opted for FUE with 2500 grafts to address my frontal area. The team was incredibly professional and made me feel at ease throughout. Now at 18 months post-op, I'm seeing amazing density and a completely natural-looking hairline. The shedding phase around week 3-4 was nerve-wracking, but they warned me about it. New growth started coming in around month 3-4 and has been filling in steadily since. The total came to $2,900 including everything — hard to beat that price.Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering this.
Pros
- + Fast recovery
- + Clean facility
Seoul, South Korea • FUE • 3000 Grafts • 10mo post-op
Great results, minor hiccups
Overall very pleased with my FUE at Mojelim Hair Transplant. Hwang Jung-wook and the team were fantastic. Got 3000 grafts and the results at 10 months are looking really good. The hairline design is natural and the density is building nicely. My only complaints are minor — the donor area took longer to heal than expected. But honestly, these are small things compared to the outcome. The total came to $3,700 including everything — hard to beat that price.Would I do it again? Absolutely. Would I recommend Mojelim Hair Transplant? Yes, with the caveat that make sure to follow the aftercare instructions exactly.
Pros
- + Doctor-led procedure
- + Well-organized
Istanbul, Turkey • Sapphire FUE • 1800 Grafts • 7mo post-op
Life-changing results
I can't say enough good things about my experience at Hair of Istanbul. From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, everything was top-notch. Dr. Mr. Faith personally handled everything and was incredibly skilled. The procedure itself was close to 9 hours and surprisingly comfortable. I opted for Sapphire FUE with 1800 grafts to address my crown and mid-scalp. The team was incredibly professional and made me feel at ease throughout. Now at 7 months post-op, I'm seeing amazing density and a completely natural-looking hairline. The shedding phase around week 3-4 was nerve-wracking, but they warned me about it. New growth started coming in around month 3-4 and has been filling in steadily since. Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering this.
