Hey guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I have been considering getting a HT for a few months. I live in the United Arab Emirates and we have several clinics that perform HT surgeries. Unfortunately I've tried to find reviews of surgeons who work here in Dubai and couldn't find any.
A friend of a friend tells me of clinic and their procedures using patented equipment called DHI. Called them up and they tell me that the doctors fly in to perform the procedures which raised a red flag right away. None the less I booked a consultation fee is 250 AED (68 USD).
When asked how much they charge per hair or graft they replied is they charge now per session? He tells me that a session is 3.5 hours. How many hairs is transplanted in a session I ask? He tells me that I should come in for a consultation. He also tells me that most people go for 2 to 3 sessions.
Price per session is 17,000 AED ($4,620 USD)!
I looked at their website and I was NOT impressed with the pictures they had up there. The quality of the pictures were beyond poor, where is the high resolution pictures? The video they had on there seemed like it was shot ages ago.
Let me tell you guys, I am VERY glad that I came across this forum and did a lot of research on DHI. I might just save myself the $68 and just skip the consultation, still haven't decided yet.
I'm not slagging the clinic per say but from reading and checking out all the blogs here I did not come across a patient's blog who went and had a surgery done at DHI.
I'm now looking at getting the surgery done in Thailand. So I'll keep looking and would really appreciate any recommended clinics in Dubai or Thailand.
