Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

1 year 3 month update

Sorry guys for being off the grid so long. Here I am just under 15 months post op. I'm very happy with the outcome both physically and psychologically. I've always known based on my genetics that I'd get a hair transplant one day. Well I reached that milestone and that triggered what else I needed to do. As already mentioned, I've given up smoking (8 months smoke free), drink 10% of what I used to, and workout 6 days a week. Energy levels are great and I feel better now at 45 than I ever did in my 20s. It's worth it.

6 month update

Sorry guys, been a little quiet this past month. Hairs still growing in nicely. It looks much better from the front than it does on top where it still looks a bit "baldy" especially at the back, but not nearly as "baldy" as before.

One of the pros of getting a hair transplant is you start thinking about what can else can you do to improve yourself. I'm not talking about other procedures or cosmetic surgery - its now been 2 weeks since I've given up smoking. This is my first attempt ever in 30 years. And I've got a personal trainer and been going to the gym for nearly 3 months. Why stop with just your hair if you want to look healthier and younger

Before and After at 12 and 19 weeks

I'm amazed at the difference between now (19 weeks) and when these first 2 photos were taken less than 2 months ago at 12 weeks. I didn't upload them at the time because - well as Donald Trump (and aussie bee) would say, there was nothing worth looking at and not much to grab. So not unlike Trump's tax returns, I decided not to disclose them at the time.

I want to thank Dr. Maral and his staff for the professional service I received at his clinic. Not everyone can adapt to different cultural norms and for those who can't might find the experience a little intimidating. Those who can will discover Dr. Maral is hard working, thorough, direct, and to the point. If you ask him how to make your hair grow faster, he will say your hair grows at the speed it grows and there's nothing you can do about it. Ask about alternative treatments? He will say if it's not FDA approved then don't do it. He even gives you a hat but then tells you not to wear it! He might suggest styling your hair differently in future but that one is entirely up to you ...
