Hair Transplant Repair

If you have undergone a hair transplant and are unhappy with the outcomes, a hair transplant repair may be able to correct issues, reverse uneven and patchy growth, or replace areas of hair loss due to poor transplant techniques or overharvesting of donor follicles.

Unfortunately, substandard hair transplants have become more common in recent years due to the appeal of budget transplant services and cheap overseas flights. However, the lack of regulation, skill, experience, and precision often means that clients are left with low-quality transplants that reduce their confidence rather than improve it.

A hair transplant should be invisible, and once healed, our preferred FUE transplant technique ensures that your follicles don’t only look natural – they are! We carefully extract individual donor follicles using a microscopic tool that creates a tiny incision under one mm across, which means the skin can heal very quickly in a matter of days.

If your hair transplant looks obvious, this will normally be because the hair transplant clinic has skipped the essential grading step. During this process, our technicians evaluate each follicle for density, texture, colour and growth direction, inserting each approved and prepared follicle into a pre-mapped transplant plan.

Most clients find that a second hair transplant can address these issues, implanting follicles in a consistent and cohesive pattern that can conceal the irregularities caused by the initial transplant procedure.

The primary reason for most poor-quality hair transplants is that the client has opted for an overseas hair transplant package, which entices customers with promises of high-quality procedures, low flight costs, and cheap treatments.

Inevitably, this means many clients end up inadvertently visiting unregulated, unauthorised and black-market hair transplant clinics that operate outside of the regulatory system here in the UK and often function with the necessary facilities, equipment and qualifications crucial to achieving a satisfactory hair transplant outcome.

We also speak with clients who have experienced other downsides such as infections, loss of hair in the transplant or donor area, or where the transplanted hair looked obviously different from other follicles – much of which we can correct and repair following your initial consultation.

Please contact KSL Clinic at any time to discuss your hair transplant repair requirements in a comfortable, professional setting and to access independent advice about the best course of action.

Much depends on the nature of the problems you’re experiencing and the extent of the damage caused – although we endeavour to offer effective, practical solutions to improve the quality, density and aesthetic of your hair growth or to provide custom hair transplants to conceal the areas affected.

The best option is to book a private consultation at your preferred KSL Clinic, where we’ll be able to evaluate your scalp and hair health and provide personalised recommendations and suggestions.

Potentially, yes – where follicles have been implanted with the wrong direction of growth, which contrasts with the rest of your hair, it may be possible to remove those follicles and repeat the transplant process.

As always, this will depend on the extent of the problem, the location of the follicles, and the time that has passed since the original hair transplant.

In most cases, it is wise to wait until the scalp is completely healed to avoid causing trauma to the skin. Treatments such as PRP therapy can expedite recovery and ensure your scalp and hair are healthy and in good condition for a new, higher-quality transplant.
