That's a good question seeing as this is from DHi's own website new section. Not just same tools and training also the same doctor:
----------
For 2009, we bring our Irish clients to the forefront of the DHI experience. For the first time, our most advanced technique, Direct Hair Implantation, will now be performed in Ireland.
Under the guidance of Medical Directors Dr T Vekris and Dr Comhairle O'Donnchadha, DHI is now offering this brilliant new technique at Dublin's state of the art medical facility the Beacon Clinic.
PLEASE NOTE: We are no longer operate at the Aylesberry clinic and have terminated our association with them. We advise you that this clinic is not authorized to offer DHI procedures or rename them.

its so alarming that people can get conned into going to DHI , the techniques they use to draw the unsuspecting in is disgraceful , as with all DHI rep posts they eventually do themselves more harm than good usually by not answering questions
How can you check out your surgeon when you dont know who the surgeon is going to be ? thats the real DHI experience , one of a group of Drs who happens to be working that day is allocated to you
Once again what was DHI `s affiliation with Malcolm Mendelsohn ?
Bigmac apologies for my earlier tone , however I hope our efforts expose this person for what he is

Here you go then, i went to DHI, got ripped off, had 20 per cent growth if i was lucky, was treat like a piece of cr*p, was lied to, had no post op aftercare, my emails of complaint were not answered, hotel they recommended was a total shithole, is that enough for you.
By the way thats a very interesting link and hits the nail right on the head.

Can't say enough thank you's to the good folks of this forum, only yesterday I visited a DHI clinic and agreed to have treatment from them, thank god I did my research before paying any money, I've already cancelled, I believed their sales pitch, it sounded so good, I am level 5, 46 years old, can anyone advise me what I should be doing? I am strongly considering going to Thailand to Dr Path', I don't want a big scar as I keep my hair quite short (no.3) and would also consider skin pigmentation after a HT, the more I read online the more indecisive I get, if someone can help, encourage or reassure me that would be great, if I knew I was going to have a scar that wasn't clearly visible I'd definitely get it done, is this common or uncommon? I know the answer to my questions are all online, it's just there are so many contradictions, anyway thanks again the people who took the time to help others like me about Dhiglobal, now that I'm never in a million years going to use them, any help in choosing who I should be using would be greatly appreciated, by the way I'm in the UK.

Hi,
Start a new topic with pics of your situ (face blanked out)Well done for doing research, it may be last minute research but it seems to of helped you so far!
If you don't like the idea of a scar, don't get strip done, go for fue, more expensive but worth it imho.

As Sparky says if you can start a new topic with some pictures, it would be interesting to see what other clinics recommend for you.

What an interesting read these DHI pages have been for lil ole me .
I have posted my comments on DHI before in the hope that they will try to sue me but they never do .In 2004 i believed their shit and had a very large procedure done with a Doctor George in the Athens clinic just prior to them moving to their AHEM ,masters clinic in Lavrio .I had a reported 8000 hairs transplanted which i believe were counted on an abacus by Ray Charles .I had probably 10 percent growth and had my donor site decimated by these liars .I had a further 1100 hairs done free as i had only paid them the paltry sum of around 7k so the 1100 hairs they gave me were a nice gesture and goodness i was touched .After all i only had to have time off work and nip over to Lavrio which is only down the road from Manchester innit? Amazingly enough most of the hairs came through and they even offered me a body hair transplant next time which would also be free in another year .The body hair transplant was about as effective as a one legged man in an arse kicking contest so my end result after paying not far short of 10k i had perhaps 20 per cent growth ,no donor hair left and my self esteem and faith in human nature on the floor .When it was first done and all the hairs were in place i was chuffed and even when they fell out i just waited for them to grow back but hardly any did ,just bits and bats here and there .I must confess the procedure was neat and tidy with no visible scarring to show but hardly any hair either ! I want to warn people about DHI so they can avoid the mental devastation that i suffered at their hands .I dont know enough about other companies to recommend anyone but i can tell you all that the hairs that were transplanted were already dead during the extraction procedure and i suffered like so many others because of surgical incompetence and complete and utter lies from start to finish .I hope that this posting will help anyone who dares to dance with DHI to please -

Hi everybody
don't worry im not a rep, had a small procedure done few months ago in there Dublin clinic and so far the results don't look too good. I reckon 30% of grafts have grown. I plan on getting more done in future but it wont be with DHI. The thing is I didn't do enough research but Ill learn from my mistakes. Ill be heading to USA in future to have the rest done.Woman doctor performed my procedure couldn't tell you her name but could tell you the procedure date if anybody wants it.There rep is good and he makes you feel like your theie only customer and the after care system is very poor. I have my check up with in a month or so time so Ill post back then with the out come. ;ss;}:BY:>?

Dear graham87 can you please inform us how many months ago did you have your procedure? How can you judge that the result is not successful?
Have you contacted the clinic in Dublin for an evaluation follow up?

Dear friends,
While watching the forum for several months, I decided to write in this thread just today. At first I thought: why should I enter again in debates etc. but ultimately I took the decision because DHI client had also post to my thread in hairlosshelp.com and I realized that there is a "war atmosphere" in connection with the DHI globally, which I have not yet managed to "clarify". I am from Greece, I have 3 and half transplantation with DHI, with a total of approximately 5.500 grafts transplanted in my head, from which 1200 are from body and 567 from beard (the half refers to the second one which was a small session, offered by DHI for free, in order to cover a 5-8% nongrown transplants from my first one. I just complaint to them that in some parts of my head there were some "open spaces" - about 100-150 graft were enough in order to cover those-and they offered me a small session, that gave me approximately 600 grafts, for free). As mentioned, I post in hairlosshelp.com and also in the Greek relevant forum (hairlossgr.com). In both forums I keep a thread with my results etc. with the nick-names: close and n094 respectively.
After this long introduction, I would like to mention that I am absolutely delighted with the results of my transplantations. I try so long to figure out what is the matter with people who post nasty and negative comments for DHI. Most of them do not upload photos and do not give a complete history to justify the negative writings. Few of them state hair-transplantation in DHI during the 90s or earlier (from as I know, DHI is present in the hair-transplantation for about 40 years), some of them give a complete history and uploading photos, actually showing poor results. But I think it is unfair both for them and for DHI to compare periods, techniques and tools that have nothing to do with today. For example you can not compare someone who did a strip hair transplant back on the decade of 90 (or early 00 ') which (then) achieve a maximum density of 15-20 grafts/cm2 with a current "invisible FUE (or even FUT) surgery that gives a 35-55 (or more) grafts/cm2. So they are wrong, based on current data which are relevant for all clinics including DHI (which had the "misfortune" to be present at the beginning of the evolution of hair restoration). Finally, also a few (even fewer than of the above) with a recent surgery in DHI write negatively about them indicating that most of their grafts didn t make it or that did not get what they expected etc. So if anyone noticed their photos (only a few people have upload, but if you search one can find them) will be able to understand that all or most of the hairs that they agreed to put grew, so, what is the problem here? The problem has to do rather with the market strategy of the clinic. From what I understand, there are situations with patient-clients that are not properly informed from the "sellers" of the clinic. So, even if the surgery is successful and all of the grafts grow, eventually the result is not what they expected because they just needed more grafts and nobody explained them well enough....
In any case, and based on true results I have seen myself in the DHI, during the last few years that I visit them, either for my transplants, or for scheduled reviews, I can say that they are doing a very good job. There is no doubt, from what I ve seen, that (at least from 2006 which is the year of my first transplantation) transplantations conducted at DHI are entirely satisfactory.
If you want, you can visit the above mentioned sites to see my results, or you can ask me to post here....

Close, i`m happy for you that you received a good HT from them, unfortunately i went to DHI in 2005(not the 90`s) and received 10 per cent growth if i was lucky, the after care was non existent and they did not want to hear my concerns. It was a bad experience from start to finish.
I`ve also met quite a few ex DHI patients, all were unhappy with their results and the treatment from DHI, therefor i would never recomend anyone go to DHI for a Hair Transplant based on my own experience and that of others.
