Reviews by Josh L.

Chicago, USA • DHI • 4000 Grafts • 6mo post-op

Outstanding experience from start to finish

I traveled from the Middle East for my DHI at Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic. Dr. Vladimir Panine personally handled everything and was incredibly skilled. Everything was well organized — airport pickup, hotel arrangements, the works. The procedure day was about 5-6 hours and I was surprised how little pain there was. Got 4000 grafts and the hairline design was exactly what I wanted. Now 6 months post-op, I keep getting compliments from people who have no idea I had anything done. That's the best review I can give — it looks completely natural. At $14,800, it was a fraction of what I was quoted back home.

Pros

  • + Airport transfer included
  • + Fast recovery

Cons

  • − Price was higher than quoted
  • − Results took longer than expected

La Jolla Hair Restoration

La Jolla, USA • FUE • 2000 Grafts • 6mo post-op

Best decision I ever made

Where do I even start? I researched clinics for over a year before choosing La Jolla Hair Restoration and I'm so glad I did. Had 2000 grafts FUE done and the results have been phenomenal. The facility was clean and modern, staff was friendly and attentive. Recovery was smoother than expected — I was back to work in about a week. 6 months in and my hair looks better than it did in my twenties. My confidence is through the roof. $8,300 well spent in my opinion.If you're on the fence, just do it.

Pros

  • + Hotel arranged
  • + Clean facility

Cons

  • − Consultation felt rushed
