Case Studies, With the Interval Stated Every Time

Because every case published is one we have treated and have written consent to show. Patients are entitled to privacy and many decline, which is their right. A larger gallery would be easy to produce and would not be honest, so the library grows slowly as consent is given.

The hair is never digitally altered. Photographs are taken at the clinic and published as they were captured. Where an image has been cropped for layout, that is all that has been done to it.

A hair transplant is judged at roughly ten to twelve months, and that is when a case is photographed as a result. Images taken earlier show a procedure part-way through its timeline, which is why one case here is labelled as the day of surgery rather than as an outcome.

Because it demonstrates something useful. Procedure-day photographs look impressive and are widely presented as results, and knowing what one actually shows makes you a harder person to mislead. Labelling it honestly is the point of including it.

No case here predicts your outcome. Results depend on your donor supply, your pattern and stage of loss, your hair characteristics and how you heal, and those vary substantially. Photographs show what was achieved for one person, not what is available to everyone.

Check that lighting, angle, hair length and styling are consistent between the two images, and that the interval is stated. Ask whether the case was performed by the person who would perform yours. Our guide on reading before-and-after photographs covers the details.

We will not pass on patient contact details, because consent to publish a photograph is not consent to be contacted by strangers. What you can do is read our patient reviews and ask us directly at consultation about cases similar to yours.

No. Cases are published with consent and without payment or discount in exchange. A paid testimonial is advertising, and it should be labelled as such wherever you encounter it.

Ask at your consultation. Stock photography and purchased case libraries are common in this industry, and the reasonable check is to ask any clinic directly whether the cases shown were performed by the person who will perform yours, and to note how readily they answer.

Only if you want it. You will be asked, you can decline without it affecting your care in any way, and you can withdraw consent later. Photographs are taken as part of routine clinical records regardless, because that is how progress is assessed.

Our photo gallery and results page carry further images, with the same standards applied to intervals and to labelling.

Shedding within the first weeks, growth from around three to four months, and a fuller picture at roughly ten to twelve months. Progress is assessed against your own baseline photographs at review, not against someone else's case.
