With regard to hair transplants, considerable medical progress has been made in recent years in terms of both the quality of the results and their reproducibility. A large number of new and specialized providers have appeared on the market. In addition, long-established beauty clinics that offer “everything from a single source” (e.g. rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and liposuction) have included hair transplants in their program. In our experience, the latter should be avoided. Excellent hair transplants require specialisation and focus.
The overall market has now reached a considerable size. However, this market is extremely confusing, with misleading advertising and untrue customer reviews. Purchased followers and media reports with surreptitious advertising are also widespread. The final results of hair transplants, which only become apparent after a certain delay, vary greatly. The same applies to the costs. We focus on the best possible price-performance ratio for each individual case.
No worries. With our experience, independence and competence, you will receive a result that will inspire you for life.
We only recommend clinics, doctors and teams that consistently achieve natural looking results over years. True masters of their profession, who work with the necessary attention to detail and use the latest technologies. A natural hairline, the right hair growth angle and high hair density (Dense Packing) are just three of the relevant features that make for a natural end result.
The usual healing process requires a little patience in order to judge the result truthfully. The final result of a hair transplant is achieved after about 12 months. In the back of the head (tonsure) it can even take 15 months, but hair growth usually starts after about 3 months at the transplanted areas. Often already after 6 months approx. 70 percent of the final result is reached. As a result, hasty expressions of satisfaction or disappointments are inappropriate and lead to irritation.
State-of-the-art hair transplant procedures are not products, but pure work, which requires a high level of experience, concentration and attention to detail. The labour costs are determined according to the hours of qualified work. In the case of a hair transplant, these are the hours of a qualified surgeon and the assistant personnel. In so-called technical clinics there are no hours of a qualified doctor provided. Even if these procedures are sold at a tempting price of 1500 CHF, for example, you will be charged zero hours of qualified work. This is very expensive and unsatisfactory for the customer. The low-cost providers (in the CHF 2000 price segment) currently deliver average final results at best. At the clinics we recommend, you pay for the qualified work of a top surgeon and his well-rehearsed assistance. Due to medical standards, which make it possible to guarantee consistency and excellence, hair transplants that lead to natural results do not have to cost a 5-digit amount anymore. MAKE YOUR HAIR GREAT AGAIN focuses on the research and recommendation of the price-performance kings for your individual hair situation.
As a rule of thumb, hereditary hair loss among men can be active for about 40 years in the worst case. The intensity of hair loss during this period varies greatly. Thus, the individual hair situation can remain stable for many years or be worsened in relatively short boosts by intensive hair loss.
You should be aware of this fact and it is advantageous to establish a strategy for the future before your first hair transplant is performed. If this is not done, later disappointments and unnecessary follow-up costs are likely. By means of our methodology and experience we help you to get “natural and full hair”.
There are several technical terms, abbreviations and vocabulary around the topic of hair transplantation, which are unknown and incomprehensible to the average consumer. According to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), there is even a so-called “misleading language”, i.e. statements that could lead the person concerned to false assumptions.
Quite a few providers use this to make misleading comparisons. The following example illustrates this. One of the most common terms in the field of hair transplantation is the term “graft”. This is an term which does not mean much more than “transplant” and which has established itself more and more in linguistic usage. However, the term is somewhat misleading because it does not define how many hair follicles (and thus the later number of hairs) are meant. In addition, a pure comparison of the transplanted number of grafts does not say anything about the number of grafts that will survive in the future. In addition to the survival rate, a natural growth direction of the grafts is also important. The latter falls under the table in a pure comparison of the “number of grafts”.

In the quite anonymous world of the Internet, opinions and reviews from former customers build trust. If a provider, a product or a service has received a lot of positive feedback, this promotes sales.
Especially in the rather confusing market of hair transplants, untrue reviews and valuations are the order of the day. For example, some providers rate their strongest competitors negatively. Usually this is done indirectly and is done quite skilfully. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for providers to receive excessively good reviews and ratings because they have been commissioned to do so.
The big social networks and video platforms are full of bought followers and fanboys. They often profit directly or indirectly from their posts and videos, which recommend certain providers. But there are also some “unpaid” fanboys. Often these young men leave a cool, authentic and objective impression and have actually been treated at the recommended clinic. They represent a kind of “best possible exhibit” of the respective clinic. Nevertheless, not every clinic specializes in every individual hair situation. Also the reproducibility of the results remains unconsidered with this kind of observation.
In well-known television stations, newspapers and magazines, celebrities (but also ordinary citizens) are increasingly accompanied during a hair transplant. The clinics and doctors are mentioned and presented “casually”. The reports and articles usually have nothing in common with genuine, independent and careful journalism. It is a matter of surreptitious advertising, which brings providers to the fore who need such things. The so-called “hidden champions” of the industry have not yet gone down this path. They let the results of their work speak for themselves and secure new patients through genuine recommendations.
