had a consultation there and was impressed, got a black friday deal but the lack of reviews online are a bit concerning given that I did see many patients there during my consultation. help would be appreciated!

You should ask who the doctor will be so you can research them.

Dr James Anderson and Dr Amoha Bhatia.. though I'm struggling to find much if at all online in terms of patients

The problem with the large hair chains like Vinci, Wimpole etc is that the surgeons are forever changing with no set surgeon as your come, learn and go. It is always best to research into a specific surgeon and find their track record online, their portfolio which relates to them and not a former surgeon who’s likely left and find written patient accounts on the hair forums and Reddit. Plus make sure the surgeon extracts himself via FUE and not use a technician and are full BAHRS or ISHRS members. Remember you have a limited supply of donor hair at the back. It’s as precious as gold - don’t even roll the dice on potentially wasting it and having to undergo a repair hair transplant which would then take a long time to get your result.

There was a YouTube guy Gregory Gage I think went there.
His results were good and he done a video about it all you can have a look and see what he got

I saw his videos thanks, but im a bit skeptical about those in the public light because naturally they become advertisers for a company - I suppose I'd want to see testimonies of everyday people

True and you are right to be sceptical but his is a true portrayal with 12 updates. He can’t fake that
If it was just a before and after post then anything goes but he updated it good

very true! maybe i'm being more sceptical than I should be. I have afro hair too so it's a bit different as I am yet to see anyone with my texture to have gone there. i am booked in for the 21st jan but as it stands I may opt to try meds to see how much regrowth i can achieve then decide next year because i am yet to find a clinic I feel 100% confident to go. wimpole tbf to them did some i know quite well but they offer little grafts for a high cost. I got quoted 1300 grafts for £4.8K when I'll need around 2000-2500 for the density I'd like, seems to be a UK thing pehaps

vinci also told me they decide the number of grafts on the day of the procedure, which im not too confident about. I'm trying to have a call with dr james anderson before the 21st to ask him more about that, then i'll make a decision from there

Hi @realistian May I know how the consultation went with Dr. James? I’m also looking to get a hair transplant in London.

Hi @pp11, I didn't manage to have a consultation with him in the end. I had an appt booked for 21 Jan but cancelled it as i'd like to first go on meds for a year to see how I react and also any potential for regrowth before opting for a HT. I would say go in for a consultation from vinci yourself and ask them what ever questions you have because that's probably the best chance you'll get

Make sense! Thank you for your reply!

How do they cost the procedure, is it per session rather than per graft? What is typical with modlst clinics is that you get a graft count from an online assessment and possibly a minor adjustment when they see your head under magnification. However, not knowing the count at all is pretty unusual outside of the 'maximum graft' hair mills.
