Receiving treatments overseas

Do you suffer from hair loss or hair thinning? At The Crown Clinic, we know that losing hair can be a traumatic and isolating experience that affects both your confidence and self-esteem. For this reason, we offer customised hair loss solutions with proven results for any type of hair loss including; androgenic alopecia, male and female pattern baldness, hair loss due to stress, surgery and thyroid or auto-immune diseases. Our Sydney CBD and Campbelltown-based clinics present a team of hair loss experts who will help you find the best treatment to fit both your needs and budget. It is our goal to not only restore your hair but your confidence as well.

Patients who’ve had unsatisfactory results

Many people grow desperate and opt to have hair transplant treatments performed overseas where they appear to be cheaper. At Crown Clinic, we have conducted a number of consultations with patients who have had unsatisfactory results from hair transplant procedures that have been performed overseas. The growing concern is that these cases seem to be occurring more frequently.

Their main complaints are:

• Unsatisfactory results
• Excessive scarring
• Damage resulting from infection
• Limited to no access to follow-up care and advice

Dangers of travelling overseas for treatment

In the cases where patients have unsatisfactory results, the threats that are associated with travelling overseas are usually quite poorly communicated to the prospective client. These less reputable companies often focus more on the price of the treatment, pushing the belief that having a hair transplant treatment can be mistakenly viewed as a holiday. Under this misguided information, many patients travel overseas with the belief that everything will go smoothly, that they will receive high-quality treatment and experience no complications afterwards, all at a hard to beat price.

Receiving follow-up overseas

While the price of the treatment is an important consideration for many people considering a hair transplant, it is critical to understand that all surgeries carry risks and results can never be 100% guaranteed.

When follow-up care and advice are required, it is difficult and sometimes even impossible to access these much-needed services when your procedure has been carried out on the other side of the world. This inability to return for follow-up consultations and the lack of after-care services can result in negative effects such as excessive scarring and damage caused by infection.
