Advertising and Hair Transplants
I’ve been in the field of hair transplantation for over a decade, but it’s always interesting to see what someone new to the subject encounters during their very first online search.
I typed in “hair transplant,” and of course, ads came up. One colleague claims 25 years of experience. Right below, there’s an offer: hair transplants at 30% off — “hurry, limited time.” Maybe it’s a seasonal discount, maybe not.
A bit further down, another colleague — this one with 24 years of experience. Apparently, he must have started a year later. Then there’s an emotional pitch: “Regain your confidence with new hair.” My own clinic doesn’t appear in the ads — we come up organically, second for “hair transplant cost,” which is a whole other interesting topic.
When I searched “hair transplant price,” I saw the same clinic offering 35% off this time. Another ad promised “unlimited grafts” — even if your donor area only has 5,000 grafts. Unlimited… where would they find them? And at what cost?
Searching “FUE hair transplant” was even more interesting. The same 25- and 24-year experience claims popped up, along with 35% discounts. But now I also saw a “permanent, guaranteed for life” result — with a “gold lifetime guarantee.”
Then I tried “hair transplant offer.” Again, the same claims: experience, discounts… but here’s a €1,999 transplant. Scroll further and it drops to €600, then €570. Another ad priced it at €1 per graft. Or 1,300 hairs for €699 — you almost need a calculator to keep up.
I completely understand how overwhelming this is for someone researching a hair transplant. On such a small advertising space, clinics try to hook you with discounts, big promises, and flashy numbers. But here’s the truth: what matters is who you’re dealing with. From my own life experience, you can usually tell from the very first message what kind of person or clinic you’re talking to.
And there’s one golden rule: if something seems too good to be true, it never is.
By all means, visit those sites, see what they say — but be careful with the promises. Most of the time, they’re just bait to get you through the door. And in the end, it might cost you far more than just money.
Do your research. Visit multiple clinics. Meet different doctors. There are good ones out there — and you’ll find someone who earns your trust. Don’t focus on who’s slightly cheaper or more expensive. Choose the doctor who wins your confidence with their knowledge, their approach, their ethics. That’s the doctor who will give you the best possible result.
