Is Seneca Medical Group a serious clinic?

Is Seneca Medical Group a serious clinic? They have good reviews on Google, but I'm a bit wary since they have multiple locations, which seems a bit like a franchise. Also, I've heard that DHI isn't a serious technique.

I believe they are franchising clinics, before they where called DHI, but some went on their own and changed name.

DHI is a serious technique that many of the top Doctors around the world is using, but it gets a bad rep because low cost clinics in Turkey is using the method without the skills needed. Also many use bad DHI copy surgery instruments that is of worse quality.

Pity. I live in Scotland, where there is lack of big name transplant surgeons -- they all seem to be stateside. I don't want to travel abroad -- can't afford to either. If there's any post-op issues, I'd prefer my surgeon not to be an ocean away.

Yeah, that's pretty much what put me off the whole thing, even though I was also kind of hoping that DHI might be less invasive than FUE -- I don't want my donor area looking like it's been attacked by moths.

DHI has nothing to do with your donor area and the extractions. DHI is a implantation technique using choi pens they load with a graft to "shoot" into the incision hole instead of the "standard" FUE method which uses forceps.

There is no difference really, it depends on the skills of the Dr/techs, not the technique.

The extraction part is always FUE or FUT.

I believe Dr Mcluskley at the Glasgow Clinic is a serious Dr you could research more.

There are lots of good Doctors out there but equal amount of con artists so its important that you take your time and especially research whats important with a hair transplant as you seem pretty new to all of this with what you said about DHI vs FUE.

Thanks for correcting my novice understanding.

Good to know. I will do. Are there any more in Scotland that you know of?

Sounds good. The more research you’re able to do should help you make a good choice.

I had HT at Seneca in Glasgow on July 2nd. they where brilliant with me. scabs all off now and over the moon with what they did. l had 2000 grafts for my crown. Donor area you would not know l had it done and same for my crown .the way the hair is placed in a pattern to match the rest is truly an art. with only that the hair is short compared with the rest you wouldn't know.

I'm glad that it seems to have worked out for you. The donor area is what worries me the most. If you get a chance, I'd love to see what this in particular looks like. Thanks.

Yes it all went well. plus the surgeon takes the hairs out and puts them in again. l got the bus through to Glasgow has l didn't fancy driving. they booked me a taxi with a company they use to go home. l live 60 miles away and it cost me £130. l never told anyone l was having it done so was more than happy to pay it. plus they prefer you don't drive after the session. l will put pics up of the trans plant too.
