Hi Everyone, some great feedback here and really appreciated. I am still trying to get an appointment with Dr Reddy, however I was advised he has left the private clinic, does anyone know where he relocated to and how one can get a consultation? The private clinic kept pushing back over the course of Q3/Q4 2020 so I was unable to get a virtual consultation. I am hoping to follow up this year. Many thanks, Tom

Hi everyone, Thank you to everyone who has posted feedback, I really appreciate it. My wedding is now 21 months away so I assume I have more than enough time to get this done. With regard to the front, I am actually really just looking to have the gap in the center front filled in so it is more natural looking. I am not looking for it to come down too much but just have the temple hairline straightened up and rounded (rather than jagged with the gap). I am no hair expect, but I believe a lot of the initial hair loss I have seen at the front is due to hair mismanagement (overuse of dax wax, hairspray, excessive use of straighteners when I was younger and also the chlorine content here in Dubai) - As such I hope it will not recede much further if I look after it better (shower water filters, less hair product etc). From my initial research some years ago Dr Reddy was advised as the best in the UK for FUE. I have got my heart set on FUE to be honest. Money wise I am happy to pay the money given how long I have been pondering this and how important it is to me. However, I am open to travelling elsewhere and will look into some of the suggestions above. Thanks again, Tom

Hi, thanks for the feedback, in response to your points: - happy to travel to the UK, in fact the plan was to have it done in the UK as I travel 6-8 times a year home anyway. - I don't recall Dr Reddy's initial suggestion, but the cost was between £10k to £15k - Preferences wise, I am happy to invest and travel if it makes sense and the doctor has the experience/knowledge to do the best job possible. - The wedding has just been moved from Feb 2021 to Feb 2022 due to the COVID-19 issue and asking people to travel right now is an issue. Hence me now having the time to do it and having at least 12 month to see results. Thanks, Tom

Hi Everyone, I hope everyone is well during, especially during this difficult and challenging time. This is my second post following an initial query back at the end of 2012 regarding getting an FUE procedure done. I plan to get married in a year's time so wanted to get a procedure done this year ahead of my wedding so I can be truly happy with the pictures etc. I am a complete newbie when it comes to this area, so was hoping you could all point me in the direction of the best surgeons and treatment for my specific requirement. I have had two consultations with Dr Raghu Reddy in London so I have an idea on cost and the treatment but wanted to get recommendations from others who have had similar treatment as me and had good experiences. I have attached some pictures. The main work I am looking for is at the front to create a natural hairline. I have always had a gap in the center of my hairline which meant it looked unnatural. In the past 4 years the front of my hairline has started to recede slightly, but that could be due to the fact I was using a lot of hairproducts (wax, spray) and also living in Dubai where the water quality holds a lot of Chlorine (which I am told is bad for thinning out hair). Outside of that my hair is thick and we do not have a history of hairloss in the family. My hairline however has always been high on my forehead so I would be looking for doctors who specialize in this area. Any advice or recommendations you can make are really appreciated. Thanks and stay safe, Tom

Hi All, I am new to the forum and wondered if one of the frequent users on here can provide some advice. I have recently moved to Dubai and am considering looking at HT/FUE out here. I have been pointed in the directly of Alvi Armani as a good clinic with good doctors for this type of procedure. my question is - can anyone give an background or further reviews to the clinic - would it be more beneficial to look at clinics in London (I travel home twice a year) or the US? is FUE the best process? My hairlines has always been naturally very high up my forehead and uneven. So what I am told is that FUE type treatment will allow for hair replacement on areas which have never seen hair previously and allow me to have a more natural look. I do have some small hair recession on the sides of my temple but not a great amount and there is no history of baldness in my family. However due to my hairline being so high is has an extremely large impact on my confidence and social life (I shy away from swimming and the such like) and in order to style it (it is quite long at the front) it takes a lot of time and I am also conscious that using hair products etc has a detrimental effect on my hair. Any advice you may be able to give would be greatly appreciated as this is all very new to me and I want to make sure I am making informed decisions for something that is quite a big thing for me Thanks Tom
