Most people with alopecia want to find a treatment to help them with baldness, and a hair transplant is an option. However, unfortunately, some hair transplants are fake, and people only find out when it’s too late. So how can you be assured you will get a positive experience? Check out our tips to stay safe and avoid a fake hair transplant.
What Can Go Wrong with a Fake Hair Transplant?
If you end up with a fake hair transplant, you may experience several problems. You’ll probably lose your money. You can also get excessive scarring and possible infections; any donor site can be damaged. When a donor site is damaged, it affects whether you can have a transplant in the future. Some people are unsuitable for a hair transplant, so the procedure is unnecessary.
What Should I Do to Avoid a Fake Hair Transplant?
The first thing to do when considering a hair transplant treatment is to check whether you need one. For example, your hair loss may be temporary or down to a treatable medical condition. Your doctor or dermatologist can advise you on whether a hair transplant is something you should consider having. Researching hair transplants by reading about them, joining forums, and asking questions in clinics is vital. The more you start looking at something, the better informed you will be to make a decision.
It’s also essential to get a consultation with an experienced clinician in hair transplants. Check the reviews and their credentials to know you’re working with an expert team. In particular, ensure qualified clinicians. While it is essential to review the price of a hair transplant, the cheapest is not always the best, and indeed, some fake operators try to attract clients with a reduced price.
When researching clinics, look for unrealistic or untrue claims — for example, painless transplants or 100% success rates. Exaggerated claims indicate that the operator is not offering an authentic hair transplant service. Another red flag that the clinic is not authentic is excessive sales techniques pushing hair transplants. Always take time to reflect on the consultation and consider your options.
