San Francisco, USA • Sapphire FUE • 3200 Grafts • 10mo post-op
Decent results, mixed experience
My experience at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration was okay but not exceptional. The lead surgeon was very experienced and took time to explain each step. The Sapphire FUE procedure (3200 grafts) went fine, but the aftercare communication was lacking. I had questions during recovery and it took days to get responses. At 10 months post-op, results are decent — noticeable improvement but not as dramatic as I'd hoped. Paid $5,000 for the procedure.The facility and staff were fine, I just expected more hand-holding for the price I paid. Might be worth considering if you're an experienced patient who doesn't need much guidance.
Pros
- + Doctor-led procedure
- + Minimal scarring
- + Realistic expectations set
- + Excellent communication
Cons
- − Results took longer than expected
- − Phone support hours limited
- − Consultation felt rushed

Decent results, mixed experience
My experience at Nida Esth' Medical Centre was okay but not exceptional. Dr. Piya Rungruxsiri, Dr. Sunida Yuthayotin and the team were fantastic.

Scottsdale, USA • FUT • 4200 Grafts • 12mo post-op
Solid clinic, good results
Had my FUT procedure (4200 grafts) at Hair 4 Life Medical about 12 months ago. Dr. Ramona Kelemen and the team were fantastic. The facility was professional and clean. Procedure took about 5-6 hours. Results are good — not perfect, but definitely a massive improvement. The hairline looks natural and density is decent. I might consider a small touch-up session in the future for the crown area, but overall I'm happy. At $10,000, it was a fraction of what I was quoted back home.Communication could have been a bit better during the recovery phase but the results make up for it.
Pros
- + Realistic expectations set
- + Well-organized
- + Airport transfer included
- + Good aftercare
Cons
- − Communication delays
- − Shedding phase was stressful
Madrid, Spain • FUE • 1500 Grafts • 10mo post-op
Great results, minor hiccups
Overall very pleased with my FUE at Instituto Medico del Prado - Dr. Espinosa Custodio. Dr. Dr. Espinosa Custodio personally handled everything and was incredibly skilled. Got 1500 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 — I had more swelling than they suggested I would. But honestly, these are small things compared to the outcome. The total came to $6,600 including everything — hard to beat that price.Would I do it again? Absolutely. Would I recommend Instituto Medico del Prado - Dr. Espinosa Custodio? Yes, with the caveat that you should be patient with results — it takes a full year.
Pros
- + Excellent communication
- + Painless procedure
- + Minimal scarring
