From the minimum qualifications and experience required to the importance of an impeccable safety record, we address all the key aspects that set apart an average surgeon from a top hair transplant surgeon.

What are the Top Criteria For Choosing Your Hair Transplant Surgeon?

Choosing the right surgeon can be the difference between a miserable and distressful outcome and a life-changing transformation. It's a decision that deserves careful consideration, research, and understanding. We hope this guide empowers you to make an informed decision that leads you on a successful hair restoration journey, bringing back not only your hair but also your confidence and zest for life. So whether you choose to trust Advanced Hair Studio or another provider for your hair transplant, remember to keep these criteria in mind and prioritize your safety and well-being above all else. Read on for our top due diligence criteria to help you choose your hair transplant surgeon:

  1. Must hold a Plastic Surgery/Cosmetic Surgery Qualification
  2. Plastic surgery is a highly specialized field of medicine. All our surgeons must have a plastic surgery qualification as a bare minimum. This ensures they have the necessary knowledge and training to execute a hair transplant procedure with proper technical and aesthetic finesse. In many clinics, a hair transplant procedure is performed by a dermatologist, or general practitioner, or even exclusively by hair transplant technicians. While hair transplants are less invasive and more superficial than in the past, it is essential to remember that a hair transplant is still a plastic surgery procedure that will change your appearance permanently. That is why we always insist upon having a plastic surgeon do the job.

  3. Minimum 1,000 Documented Hair Transplant Procedures
  4. Experience matters a lot in hair transplant surgery. When it comes to your appearance, the last thing you want is someone learning their skills on your body. That's why we require all our surgeons to have performed at least 1,000 documented hair transplant procedures. This volume of work guarantees they have the hands-on experience needed for successful outcomes.

  5. Minimum 5 Years Hair Transplant Experience
  6. Aside from the number of procedures, we also require our surgeons to have a minimum of 5 years of experience specifically in hair transplantation. This tenure allows them to develop expertise and gain an understanding of the nuances of hair transplant surgery.

  7. Evidence of Consistent High-Quality Results
  8. Consistency is key in hair transplantation. We require evidence of consistent high-quality results from our surgeons. This often involves a comprehensive review of before and after photos of previous patients and patient testimonials.

  9. Character References Demonstrating Honesty and Integrity
  10. Integrity and honesty are paramount in the medical field. We require character references for our surgeons that demonstrate these qualities. It's essential to trust your surgeon and know they are acting in your best interest.

  11. Impeccable Safety Record
  12. Safety is our topmost priority. We require our surgeons to have an impeccable safety record. This means no major complications or malpractice suits. It reassures you that the surgeon is committed to your safety and well-being.

What Skills Should Your Hair Transplant Surgeon Be Able To Demonstrate?

Now, let's delve a bit deeper into the specifics of the technical and artistic skills required for a top-notch hair transplant surgeon.

When considering a hair transplant, it's important to understand that aesthetic procedures not only require medical expertise, but also a high degree of technical capability and artistry. The proficiency of the surgeon plays a critical role in both these aspects. Their technical skills determine the success of the extraction and implantation process, while their artistic abilities ensure the results look natural and aesthetically pleasing.

Below, we will delve deeper into the specifics of the technical and artistic skills required of a top-notch hair transplant surgeon. We will outline each aspect in detail, providing insights into the meticulous work that goes into a successful hair transplant procedure.

By understanding these skills and requirements, you can make an informed choice when selecting a hair transplant surgeon and ensure that your journey towards restoring your hair is in the best possible hands.

Technical Skills

  1. Extracts Maximum Number of Follicles:
  2. Hair transplant success often relies on the efficient extraction and utilization of the maximum number of follicles possible. It's a delicate balance between quantity and quality, ensuring the extraction doesn't damage the follicles or the donor area. A proficient surgeon knows how to manage this delicate process effectively.

  3. Strict Damage Control/Minimal Wastage:
  4. Hair transplant procedures require extreme precision. An expert surgeon needs to minimize tissue damage during the extraction and implantation process, ensuring minimal wastage of the precious follicles. This precise work directly impacts the overall success and appearance of the transplant.

  5. Proficient in the Latest Techniques:
  6. Hair transplant technology is continually evolving, with new techniques offering improved results. A top surgeon keeps up-to-date with the latest advancements, like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Direct Hair Implantation (DHI), and employs them for optimal outcomes.

  7. Proficient with the Latest Instruments:
  8. Equally important to understanding the latest techniques is mastering the latest instruments used in hair transplant surgery. This includes using high-quality microsurgical tools for the delicate work of harvesting and implanting individual hair follicles.

    Artistic Skills

    1. Customize Based on Individual:
    2. Each patient is unique, with different hair types, head shapes, and expectations. A surgeon's artistic skill is apparent in how they tailor the procedure to match individual needs, ensuring a natural look that complements each patient's unique features.

    3. Hairline:
    4. Creating a natural-looking hairline is an art form in itself. It requires understanding facial symmetry and features to ensure the hairline doesn't look too uniform or unnatural. A skilled surgeon knows how to shape a hairline that frames the face naturally.

    5. Density:
    6. Achieving the right density is a crucial aspect of a successful hair transplant. Too sparse, and the result will look thin. Too dense, and it may look unnatural. Experienced surgeon uses their aesthetic judgment to implant the right amount of follicles to mimic natural hair growth patterns.

    7. Direction:
    8. The direction of hair growth is another factor in achieving a natural look. A skilled surgeon understands and replicates these patterns, ensuring the transplanted hair falls and grows in the same direction as the existing hair.

    9. Strategic Plantation of Follicles:
    10. Strategic plantation refers to the placement of follicles in a way that optimizes coverage and creates a natural look. It requires a combination of technical precision and artistic judgment to place each follicle at the correct depth and angle.

    Direct Involvement of Hair Transplant Surgeons in the Procedure

    In Advanced Hair Studio Clinics, we believe in maintaining the highest standards of care and safety. That's why we make it mandatory for our surgeons to directly take part in the procedure. We understand the value of their expertise, precision, and judgment throughout the hair transplantation process.

    Unfortunately, there has been a growing trend, known as the "Turkey model", in many hair transplant clinics in the UAE and beyond. In this model, the entire hair transplant procedure is performed exclusively by technicians, with the surgeon's role reduced to potentially only delivering local anesthesia and loose oversight.

    This enables the clinic carry out multiple procedures simultaneously and significantly reduce their operating costs, but it poses significant risks and compromises the quality of the procedure. Technicians, while skilled, do not possess the comprehensive surgical knowledge and expertise of a qualified and experienced surgeon. The delicate blend of science and art required for a successful, natural-looking hair transplant may be beyond their training and experience, potentially leading to safety concerns and subpar results.

    At Advanced Hair Studio, we strongly advocate for the direct involvement of surgeons in every hair transplant procedure. It's a non-negotiable aspect of our commitment to safety, quality, and patient satisfaction. We urge anyone considering a hair transplant to thoroughly research the practices of the clinic they choose and insist on having a qualified surgeon perform their procedure.

It took me 1 Year to decide whether I wanted to go through with the hair restoration procedure using a Natural Looking Hair piece. I did a lot of research and consulted with many people who had done the procedure.

I was convinced to go ahead due to the information session / in-depth knowledge and the excellent customer service skills of Sanjay- the manager.

I did the procedure 1 month ago and I can honestly say that it was the best decision ever. Advanced Hair Studio provides the best quality for the Hair Pieces. The staff takes the time to understand what you are looking for as a customer. They style your hair based on your facial structure and I must truly admit that their stylists are pure Artists! My favourite stylist is Mohamad from Lebanon. He does magic with his hands and I am always thrilled with the new styles/ suggestions he provides.

I must admit that AHS is on the more expensive side if you were to consider the other competitors in Dubai. However, it is all worth every penny spent! You will not regret it.

Do not over think it. Just go ahead an do the procedure. You will evolve into a whole new person! Believe me! :-)

I started losing my hair in my mid-twenties and in spite of trying all sorts of treatments it gradually got worse and worse. By my late twenties I started cutting my hair short. Whenever I tried to grow it, it used to look a mess and was impossible to style because of my receding and thinning. I was looking at doing a hair transplant for a while, but I kept delaying it in hope that there was some alternative.

When I was in my mid-thirties I first came across AHS. I was a bit skeptical but I thought I’d find out what they could do. I was expecting a sales pitch but what I learned about hair loss and hair restoration from them was presented in a straightforward and logical way, without lots of medical terminology. They take time to explain the root cause of the problem and explore all the different treatments.

I decided to go ahead with the treatment and as it turns out, having AHS fix my hair was one of the best decisions I ever made. I still cannot believe how good my results are. I just wish I’d done it 10 years earlier rather than wasting so much time (and hair!). I would urge anyone who is thinking of doing something to check them out.
