Sometimes hair loss can be a very lonely place. You see changes happening and don’t know where to turn. You reach out for help and come across a business which at first glance seems reputable and honest but once you’ve asked for their help and see their results, you realise all isn’t as that sharp suited consultant (or should I say salesman?) promised.

This is a very familiar story to us at Hair Technology International: often we come across people who have had surgery and are paying the price – both financially in the form of loan agreements and physically in the sense of results falling way below  expectations.

The good news is often we can still help. Although it would have been better if we had spoken before any surgery to give a balanced view, often if the hairline has been surgically restored we can add hair non-surgically behind this area to complete the look. In a worst case scenario, we can totally disguise the results if they are not cosmetically pleasing.

The truth is that hair loss is usually an ongoing process whereas transplants are only a solution for a small area of hair loss at a particular point in time. No amount of tablets or laser will stop the march of time so today’s transplant clients are often tomorrow’s non-surgical replacement clients.

Surely it makes sense to speak to an expert before you make any commitment particularly with surgery where the results and consequences are lifelong. Besides if surgical procedures are always improving and hair cloning remains a possibility, why would you want to settle for today’s transplant technology which will literally be staring you in the face for the rest of your life?! Just look at the “poster boy” footballers who had work done 2-3 years ago and see how their hair is now – often it speaks for itself!

We try to be positive and respect everyone’s right to choose but at Hair Technology International we feel that certain surgical clinics are only to happy to offer permanent, lifelong procedures in the knowledge that the client’s expectations will never be fulfilled. For this reason please take care out there and, as we say, don’t despair we are only an email or phone call away!

Not an exciting football fixture or the latest world title bout but a question that clients may consider. If you already have your hair replaced, or are doing your research, this may be a question you have pondered but if you are not, this blog may not be for you.

As pioneers in Scotland of non-surgical grafting, Hair Technology International offers an unparalleled choice of membranes from skin to semi disposable to fully disposable, to french lace and swiss lace. To underline the range of options, these can all be combined to produce a hybrid to order.

Basically lace is a fine mesh which can be used to create the illusion that hair is growing directly from the scalp. Until recently this was seen as the gold standard in hair replacement but as the skin technology has improved it is now possible to get the same results with the ultra thin skins available meaning lower maintenance and increased security.

Working with our suppliers in the US, we have been developing our own variations, many of which we exclusively offer. What’s more we are the only partner in Scotland of the company which developed the original scientifically-proven, breathable skin grafts. As they say, imitation is the best form of flattery and many have tried to copy this technology, often with limited success!

The truth is no two people are the same and neither should the solution offered be.
