Dr Ball is on my list, I am going to be having a consultation with his clinic soon but he is also very expensive ?5/Graft is the same price almost as Reddy just priced differently. Also have a consultation coming up with Harley Street Hair Clinic, understand that Spex consulted for them before and recommended them? I like the photos I have seen of Dr Mir Malkanis work but they could be anyones work, if they are his the results are excellent sadly this industry has so much smoke and mirrors if what I have seen this guy is an excellent surgeon can anyone on here share anything on this? I found on here a couple of bad reviews on here but they were from a long time ago and when asked he said they were probably just from rival clinics and denies ever working for KSL but said he has had misunderstandings with Wimple and other clinics in the UK, yet Wimple when I had a consultation with them said the same thing but that he was an excellent hair surgeon.

Just wanted some advice and a personalised response to some of my questions, I have read countless threads on the internet, this forum and youtube reviews before writing this, I have been on Finesteride for about 7 weeks now, I was advised by pretty much every consultant I saw including one doctor (in the UK) and run it by my GP who didn't really shed that much information regarding it only that she has a lot of patients who use it and didn't really give a solid view on if its worth taking or not just that others do and she doesn't prescribe it. So side effects, I usually don't read into these before taking drugs like this (this is very stupid I know, the only one I was aware of was the sexual ones, I am a bit of a hypochondriac so didn't want to trigger any placebo effects ) I have no sides that I am aware of currently, maybe some brain fog but I do always get this mildly anyway so wouldn't blame the drug for it entirely, I have noticed since taking this I have been getting white beads on my scalp as well as some itching and a spot of two every few days on my scalp/temples is this normal (read this could be a form of dandruff but they are beads not flakes)? My hair loss is scale I would say is Norwood 3 with some mild loss on the scalp, which if I am honest I feel finesteride is making worse, since taking this my hair overall feels thinner, before when I run my hand through it felt very dense, now it feels softer if that makes sense, I do notice when I run my hand through I get 5-6 hairs. My biggest concern is that my loss isn't drastic, my hairline has never been straight I would say my hair has been the same for the last 6/7 years maybe my crown has thinned slightly, but has always been a Norwood 2 and over those years (a lot of stress) has progressed to a Norwood 3, I'm not sure if I even need to be taking this drug but every private hair loss clinic just wants to shove this drug down your throat and I feel like I am missing something like once you are on this you have to stay on it forever or the adverse effects will be worse, can this drug cause thinning I am concerned that if you take this and stop it will be worse than never taking it and I can't find anything to support this but the fear comes from reading a couple of threads where people have said it seemed to accelerate loss (I read about shedding but its early days) my hair line is the same as my fathers almost entirely and I know its impossible to predict but I seem to be following his pattern just slightly younger, his hair was like mine until he was late 30/40s I am currently 26 and now his has thinned at the crown and front/top is the same but for his age it doesn't really matter, I will more than likely be having work done to my hair line when the winter starts just looking into deciding on what surgeon to use, either Edward Ball (favourite but very expensive maybe double of other quotes), Reddy (price structure is ridiculous) Dr Mir Malkani (work seems good but he works for UK Hair transplants and they're pushy)

Hi, I am currently going through the process of trying to find a good clinic and doctor/surgeon to perform a FUE transplant for my hairline, I have been told to get the results I want to achieve will require around 2100 grafts this has been from 4 consultations none of which are affiliated in any way and they all seem roughly on the same page. I have been for a consultation with the private clinic this is by far my favourite to use Dr Reddy but the way they price per hair rather than per graft firstly makes no sense to me, and secondly is double the price compared to most other places as they quoted for 4000 hairs. I went to one with the uk hair transplant clinics, their money back or free re-treatment offer seems fair enough but the fact they advertise this puts me off, they have three surgeons who have very little information out there about them, one of them that they seem to only be using in London is Dr Mir Malkani someone I am considering having a consultation with personally as the photos I have seen of his work seem pretty impressive but with this industry everything just appears to be smoke and mirrors, I read some bad reviews about him but this was from 8/9 years ago and with him still being in the profession you would expect by now he must be doing something right or no one would use him? Whilst discussing UKHT Clinics I saw a video on youtube of Dr Vikas Kunnure he showed before and after photos/videos as well as during the operation/post op and I could see Dr Vikas Kunnure in the background and he pointed him out as his surgeon for the day and the results seem good although the guy making the video just appears very affiliated to them as he is trying to get people to email him to get the information on the clinic/surgeon and wont say in the video/comments/respond to viewers so these are for someone in my position red flags granted the work looks great and this doctor is amongst my top 5 at the moment and I may travel up to where he is based for a consultation with him has anyone on here had any experience with Dr Vikas Kunnure? Other options are Wimpole clinic with Michael May, he has some horrendous reviews on here from what I found, something I read about his assistant operating on a 17 year old boy put me off of this massively yet like all the others he claims to have done 200,000 procedures and has perfect results. Another doctor I have been looking into a lot lately is Dr. Mark Tam his work from what I can find looks impressive but there seems to be nothing out there from people giving reviews on their experience with him, I have tried to contact his office from the number provided on his website but have not been successful in getting through, hes also affiliated with the private clinic it would appear and this is going to be the same case as Dr Reddy with the price being per hair. Dr Greg Williams from the Farjo is the one who performs FUE at the Harley street London clinic I see a lot of good things about Farjo but I cant find much on their results or anything on Dr Williams who covers the south of the UK for them does he live up to the Farjo name that I see everyone recommending solely for the UK? I would prefer not to go abroad but if I did it would likely be to see Dr Erdogan as he has a lot of photos of his work, before, post op and final results and everything seems fantastic from what he does but I would prefer not to leave the UK, he also seems to be cheaper than the UK surgeons/clinics which is mind blowing if only he was closer or did surgeries in the UK... Any insight would be appreciated, I have also looked into Harley Street hair clinic, they don't seem to advertise their surgeons so I have no idea who they use I have seen some results on youtube but the guy is also on their website adverts so stuff like that always puts me off.
