These guides exist because most hair loss information online is either marketing or folklore.

We have written them to answer the questions men bring to consultation, including the awkward ones: what it really costs, whether it will be obvious, what happens if it does not work, and whether going abroad is a mistake.

Every guide is reviewed by our clinical team. None of them are a substitute for a personal assessment, but they should mean you arrive at any consultation, with us or anyone else, knowing what to ask.

Frequently asked questions

Are these guides written by clinicians?

They are written by our team and clinically reviewed by Dr. Ducu Botoaca. They are general information rather than personal medical advice, and they do not replace an examination.

How often are they updated?

We review the guides periodically and update them when clinical practice or pricing changes. The last review date is shown at the top of each page.
