I had my hair transplant with UKHT in…
I had my hair transplant with UKHT in October 2024 and, unfortunately, my experience has been extremely disappointing.
I raised a formal complaint with UKHT by email and gave them 14 days to respond. After receiving no response, I allowed an additional 5 days, but I have still not received any reply.
I also contacted Ali via WhatsApp. His response was simply, “Hi, how can we help?”, which gave me the impression that my formal complaint hadn’t even been read. Rather than addressing my concerns, I feel the focus has been on encouraging me to return to the Walsall clinic to purchase additional treatments to “boost my hair follicles”.
During my transplant, there were three people in the room. The main surgeon/doctor was frequently leaving and returning, often not remaining in the room for more than around 20 minutes at a time, leaving much of the procedure in the hands of the technicians. This left me questioning the level of supervision throughout my surgery.
I was advised that around 2,000 grafts would be transplanted and that I would have a defined hairline. The final result is nowhere near what I was led to expect. I have noticeable bald patches, visible lines, and an outcome that I am extremely unhappy with.
Since then, I have had consultations with three other hair transplant clinics. Each of them expressed concerns about the standard of the work carried out and advised me not to allow UKHT to perform any further procedures on my scalp.
UKHT have maintained that because I received the transplant, they cannot issue a refund. They have also stated that my complaint was resolved last year, which I do not agree with. At my September 2025 appointment, I raised concerns about the outcome, but I was simply told they were happy with the result before the conversation moved on to selling additional products. My complaint was never resolved. Just look how far the gaps are between hair follicles!!
Having now given UKHT every reasonable opportunity to deal with this complaint, they have failed to respond or provide a satisfactory resolution. I will now be issuing a claim through the Small Claims Court and will be relying on my emails, WhatsApp messages, photographs and other evidence.
I also intend to report my concerns to the relevant regulatory and healthcare bodies responsible for overseeing standards within the sector so that my experience can be properly considered. In addition, I will be sharing my experience with my social media followers to help others make an informed decision.
If anyone else has experienced similar issues with UKHT, I would be interested to hear from you.
Please do your research before choosing a hair transplant provider. Read reviews carefully, ask questions, and make sure you’re confident they genuinely reflect patients’ experiences before committing to treatment.
