Add your flight and hotel
Add a return flight and 3 nights to see whether the trip still costs less than paying in the UK.
When not to travel
- Hair loss that has not been diagnosed or is still progressing fast: see a GP or dermatologist first.
- A medical condition or medicine that affects bleeding or healing, unless the clinic’s doctor has reviewed it in advance.
- Anyone expecting a guaranteed result. Density depends on your donor hair.
