Do You Know Who Is Operating On You?

Illicit Clinics

When a hair transplant is performed by a licensed + trained doctor, it is a safer hair loss solution than when an individual, with little to no training, performs your hair transplant. So, who would you prefer operate on you? A licensed, educated + fully trained doctor, who can deliver amazing results + healthy outcomes or someone, who may be performing their first hair transplant on you, with little to no training + no medical background that can result in horrific, unfixable + even fatal results. This is what is happening at illicit hair clinics. So, if you mistakenly go to one: Do You Know Who’s Operating On You?

Ultimately, only you can choose the hair clinic that’s the best fit for you! We can’t make that decision for you. Our Not-For-Profit + select, member doctors are simply here to educate you on the hair transplant industry’s best practices + warn you of clinics where doctors do not perform surgeries, yet market themselves as legitimate. Just please do research on your clinic!
