Barley Clinic - Qingdao, China

[Blinky]

Ok, so first I went to the Lotus Clinic, and they offered me an FUE treatment using my doner hair as well as some beard hair. I'm pretty much a Norwood 6 or 7, so I know I can't get full coverage, all I want is to get as much on top as I can get.

Now I visited another clinic, the Barley Clinic, also in Qingdao. They were a bit bigger, and a bit more professional looking. The consultant told me they would not use beard hair, as it won't last very long, but that's contrary to what I've heard most anywhere else.

They did tell me I'd be a candidate for the plasma rich platelet option, since I have enough weak hairs on top that could be stronger.

I can't find much about PRP, it seems like it is a very new thing. In not sure how effective it would be for me.

Does anyone know much about PRP? Or if beard hair is not suitable for transplant long-term? Or anything about the Barley Clinic in China for that matter?

Thank you very much

PRP has been around and used as a hair growth stimulant for several years although it’s nowhere near as effective when compared to Finasteride or Minoxidil. Beard grafts having a short lifespan if transplanted is misinformation, they grow well on the scalp.
Higher Norwood’s quite often are not suitable for hair restoration unless they have a high density donor and a good body hair supply.

Thank you for the reply!

Yeah, I figured they were wrong about the beard hair, I've heard from too many sources that it works quite well. I think they were just trying to sell me on the PRP.

Everyone else I've seen has said that only beard hair is any good. That is a shame if true, since I've got a good source of chest hair that I would be happy to use. Or are they also wrong about that?

Thanks again!

Chest hair is used by quite a few doctors. Watch this video.

Which other clinics advised only beard grafts?
