It's now been 2 weeks to the day since I returned from Cyprus after receiving FUE treatment with GetHair and I felt ready to now offer a review of their service and treatment. I have suffered from huge confidence issues since I began losing my hair in my early 20s which ultimately led to me wearing a hat everytime I set foot out of the house. I was also suffering from social anxiety in situations where hats were not appropriate, so much so that I would make excuses to avoid these events.... formal gatherings, weddings etc. Having fully researched FUE treatment in the UK and visited many clinics, the procedure was exactly what I wanted and required but the cost implications of having the surgery in UK were huge; £8,000 - £10,000 and beyond. After continuing with my research I found GetHair based in North London but who's surgeon, Dr Tayfun, operates out of Istanbul and Cyprus and for a fraction of the price. My wife and I arranged a meeting with Kaan at their Islington office and from the moment we met him he put my/our concerns at ease, listened, understood and discussed in great detail the options available to me. He then took photographs and sent them to Dr Tayfun who responded the next day with a full prognosis; the amount of grafts required (in my case 3500), the timescale and costs. For the full treatment, hotel and transfers, the procedure cost £2800. The only cost associated outside of this were the flights. We spent a short while longer considering our options and decided to book the procedure in Cyprus. My flight was on the Wednesday and on my arrival in Cyprus I was met at the airport and transferred to a very clean and comfortable hotel where I spent the evening resting and preparing for the next day. On Thursday morning I was again collected and driven to the hospital about 40 minutes away - a very impressive building, very modern and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I met Dr Tayfun who proceeded to prepare me for the procedure, answered my questions and began to mark out my new hairline. I had a quick bite to eat and we began... The only part of the treatment which was a little painful were the injections to numb the scalp area - this wasn't pleasant but neither did they promise otherwise, the nurses were honest about this and it was over in no time. The follicle extraction from the rear of my head lasted a few hours during which time we watched TV and chatted amongst ourselves and with the extremely professional translator they had supplied for me for the rare moments she was needed, otherwise there were no issues at all with the language barrier. Dr Tayfun then proceeded to create the channels across the top of my scalp where the new hair would be placed. After his was completed I was taken to the doctor's office where we had lunch and rested before the final part of the procedure. I had two nurses working to place the grafts into my head, a long and delicate procedure where they encourage you to try and sleep, read, or watch the television. There is a little less talking at this point due to the intricate process but I did manage to sleep which helped pass the time. The overall procedure took just under 10 hours and once they were finished we discussed the medication and care requirements and I was then taken back to the hotel to rest. It was quite an uncomfortable nights sleep - not because of any pain, this was minimal, if any - but because I was so conscious of keeping my head away from the pillow while sleeping upright to help with the swelling. The next day, Friday, I checked out of the hotel and was driven back to the hospital for the aftercare appointment where the nurses who had worked with me the previous day proceeded to give my head a wash and talked me through my care program for the next 2 weeks; when to take medication, to avoid direct sunlight, how to sleep etc. Later that day I returned home and began my recovery process, making sure to follow the instructions meticulously. Over the past two weeks the scabs have disappeared, the swelling has gone and i'm now left with the solid hairline I have coveted for so many years. I have noticed some hair falling out but this is completely normal and will return over the next few months as the hair thickens and follicles oxygenate. My experience with GetHair, with Kaan, With Dr Tayfun and his nurses and with undertaking my treatment in Cyprus in general, has been nothing short of fantastic. I understand there are always variables associated with this procedure and there is still a way to go before I see the true results but in summary the time, care and consideration I have received from GetHair has given me the best opportunity yet to regain my confidence and hopefully throw away those damn hats!!
