So, I heard about LA Hair Clinic through a close family friend and it was my very first time hearing about them, probably because they just recently opened up the office. I was curious to check this place out. Backstory: When I was a kid I received this scar on the back of my head due to an incident that occurred at a library near my school, during school hours, which was not my fault. This incident left me with a scar where hair would never grow back again. Growing up, this scarred area made me feel somewhat self-conscious or a little insecure about my hair every time I would cut it short because it was noticeably visible. Also, as an even younger kid, there was another small incident where I received a much smaller scar on the top of head, near my forehead. This scar wasn't as bad as the one on the back, but still noticeable when I would cut my hair short. So, next thing I know, Jacques told me to come in and John, a member of his staff, helped me get the ball rolling by setting up an appointment for a consultation. During the consultation, Jacques broke down and explained everything to me. He left no surprises. The next step was coming in for the procedure on our assigned day. I didn't really know what to expect, but I was pretty excited to say the least. I came into the office on the day of the procedure and we were underway. I changed into a button up top that was provided by LA Hair Clinic and was ready to begin the procedure. Dr. Matt, Jacques, and two members of his staff were present for the procedure and were all kind, supportive, and with me throughout the entirety of it. The whole thing took a few hours and went very smoothly. The procedure I received was a Skin Revision FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). This isn't as common as hair restoration transplants for hair loss, of course, but there are many people who still undergo this type of procedure, so they can cover up any scarring/damaged hair follicles. I received about 100 grafts in the scarred region on the back of my head, couple for the scar on the top (by my forehead), and a few in another spot on my head. After post op, we covered all the do's and don'ts. Also, Jacques provided all the antibiotics and explained when and how many to take. He told me to grab some Neosporin and Hydrocortisone to apply to the donor areas every day. This helped tremendously. Those areas healed up very nicely and I didn't have to deal with any itching. I returned to the office the day after the procedure for a check-up and to get some cleaning done, then returned the following day as well. Jacques really helped out by guiding me through the entire process and explaining what I had to do, how to clean the areas, restrictions, and anything else that was necessary mentioning. The procedure was a success! It has now been two weeks post-op and I can safely say that everything is going well. The area is currently scabbing and healing up nicely. I do occasional get itches now and again, but I resist the urge to scratch. The only nuisance about this entire thing, to me, was how I haven't been able to do things that I'm normally used to doing (i.e. ride my motorcycle, workout, shower normally, sleep normally, etc.). Heh. This is only for a couple of weeks though and really isn't an issue at all. If you really think about it, it's a very small price to pay, if not, a minimal bother, considering that for the rest of my life hair can actually grow in the scarred spots where they couldn't since before those incidents. I don't need to feel insecure or self-conscious anymore! I couldn't be happier with how everything went. It was truly a pleasant time having my procedure done at LA Hair Clinic. Jacques, Dr. Matt, John, and the rest of the staff were all super helpful, kind, and attentive to any of my needs/requests. I'm glad I could have this great experience and now be able to share it with others. Apologies for the extensive review, but I just thought I would share my experience. Thanks again, LA...
Read moreNot sure if I should call this an experience or a system but it is probably both. The entire experience is hands down AWESOME! I got 3,115 fue on 12-11-15. From the consultation to almost 2 weeks done I am treated like a king! I should give you some context. I am a nurse anesthetist and own a small anesthesia company. I've been working with cosmetic surgeons from la Jolla to north LA so I get to see the behind the scene stuff. I considered a close friend of mine ( don't want to mention his name) because he had this very expensive robot assisting in the procedure in Newport Beach. But after my consult w dr Matt and dr jaq they explained to me the scam of the robot (basically a marketing tool) that is never going to be as precise and detailed as an experienced team dedicated to ensuring an amazing result. Let me tell you about THE TEAM.... Which uses the latest techniques blending long tested experienced methods with cutting edge new methods (like injecting platelet rich plasma Aka PRP) and taking hours to map out and plan everything with amazing precision but enough "randomness to make it look natural". From the moment you arrive your treated like royalty put into comfortable pjs given amazing beverages and awesome medications to relax you and prevent any pain. I will tell you they took over 14 hours a team of 5 people working together totally in sync as I drifted in and out watched TV. And they are so sensitive to your personality. They are all full of humor but they are not silly. They stay completely professional even when your wanting to goof with them because you feel so amazing from the sedating meds they give you. Also they let you order lunch from a 5 star restaurant and have all kind of delicacies for you to enjoy all the meanwhile they are working away. Half way through ( after they get all the donor follicles) we took a break to eat delicious food). This is why I call it an experience! Then it was back to the procedure room to implant the follicles. The entire team using "loops" which are special glasses enabling them to see in perfect detail how and where the follicles should go. You can tell they all have been doing this almost 10 years. The system works like clockwork. Everyone knew exactly what to do and when to do it. And I'm a very detail oriented person and look for that in other people as I analyze their work ethic etc... You don't have to worry about them cutting corners. They are so passionate to give you the best result! Nor do you have to worry about the "techs" doing all the work. Both doctors stayed the entire time. Although I should say that all three techs were fabulous in demeanor, professionalism and experience. I'm still blown away how good the chemistry is there. The vibe in their is really hard to explain. Awesome is the best word to describe it. And let me tell you there are certain surgeons that are amazing at their work (I've worked with several hundred surgeons so I know the array of expertise) then their are surgeons that are just naturally gifted. That is what dr Matt and jaq. I want to tell you personally why you should do something like this. I'm 37. My hairline was getting worse and worse. And what bothered me the most was when I saw photos of myself. I used to be a fit attractive guy and now I'm seeing a bald, fat guy. I'm not one that invests heavily into myself as I have 3 kids and a very demanding job. But boy was this the wisest thing I could do for myself. My self confidence, sense of self worth and desire to get into shape, eat right and become the person I used to be has sky rocketed. INVEST into yourself. It's the best thing you can do for not only you but those around you. Because when you get a dramatic increase in your appearance it changes how you feel on the inside. And others can sense it. It will open up doors you previously had closed in your face. I highly...
Read moreTLDR THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO GO my hairline was absolutely cooked and they preformed a miracle.
if you’re reading reviews you’re probably doing a ton of research on the best place for a hair transplant (as you should) so let me tell you what I learned over a year. This is THE BEST clinic to go to and look AMAZING after. I’m a twitch streamer and am on camera in front of a ton of people every day so when I started losing my hair a few years ago I started saving up for a good transplant. I saw WAY too many people going to Turkey and getting it done cheap but the results are so much worse ESPECIALLY on the donor area it’s not worth paying for the cheap options, it’s a permanent result so I knew I needed it done right. The team at LAFUE are professional, SUPER nice, and most importantly they did a REALLY good job. I had an online consult and met Jacques who took time explaining everything about the procedure and gave me a quote (I have a giant head so I needed a bit more grafts but luckily I have a really strong donor area and could get like 4 transplants if I wanted to lol) Marisol and Randy helped coordinate everything with me and I booked a hotel down the street which was super convenient. Went there in the morning and Jacques spent like 20 minutes making sure my hairline was drawn on PERFECTLY and that I liked it. I really appreciated that he talked me through every bit of the process so I wasn’t confused on anything and it filled in the time of the procedure. They provided a really good lunch from a restaurant around noon and the rest of the day was just sitting in the chair while they worked! The clinic is run by 2 brothers and they’re SUPER nice and make sure you’re comfortable the entire time you’re there. Have a good show in mind on Hulu or Netflix because you’ll be sitting there for awhile while they work.
The post op instructions were NEXT LEVEL. A lot of OTHER clinics told me I could scrub my head and stuff like that after 10 days but LAFUE goes a step further in your post op hair care and gave me a 40 page packet on EVERYTHING I needed to do to ensure the hair transplant has the best results. It has every question you can think of in the pack and what you should do and I followed it to the letter and I recommend you do too. I didn’t touch my head for a month and just sprayed it with the medicinal shampoo they gave me as well as a care package of oils and sprays to help keep your hair extremely nutrient rich. Almost all the hair fell out like they said it would after the first month (first picture) and NOT to panic especially in month 3, which I did, but right at the 4 month mark my hair started growing in like CRAAAAZY. This new photo is from 6 months after the procedure and I still have another 6-12 months for the final results but guys, it ALREADY looks better than I’d hoped for the final result. My twin brother is already planning on going here too after seeing how well everything went. Thank you LAFUE for real you changed my life
Highly highly highly recommend this place. I talk about them a lot on stream so feel free to ask me any questions you have on...
