HT questions UK

[Folly]

I am from the north of england but travel to London qquite a bit, could you recomend any hair clinics to visit? With someone to talk to who wont simply be trying to sell a product? By hair clinic i mean not just HT but everything.

Unfortunately mate, you're gonna find it difficult finding a doc/clinic who isn't trying to sell you something. Don't go to a HT clinic right now. To be honest, your best bet is to see a dermatologist who knows about HT. I see a guy called Dr. David Fenton from Harley street, but he charges £300 for a first consultation, but he's BUPA registered if you have cover (which i do). He specialises in hair and is very well educated on hair transplants and medications. He will give you an honest opinion on what you should do. I hope you're taking propecia/rogaine ? If you want to send me some pics, i'll give you my opinion...not that i'm an expert, but it's free :-).

Adam, it looks like Dr. Cole will be setting up an actual HT clinic in London, with HDC. The following is from his website.

"Dr. Cole and HDC will soon open a hair restoration surgery clinic in London, England. The planned opening date is in January 2012. The clinic will focus chiefly on FUE. Dr. Cole plans to offer CIT and C2G FUE at this clinic when it opens. They expect the clinic to be quite busy as there is a need for high quality FUE hair transplant surgery in the UK. Dr. Cole and HDC currently have many patients from the UK. Stay tuned for details on this exciting development."

However, i contacted Dr.Cole's clinic a month ago and from what i gathered, i don't think the January timeline is realistic. Might be another few months, but still....great news for us in the UK.
