Black Market Hair Transplants

At Leonard Hair Transplant Associates, our hair loss surgeons prioritize the safety and well-being of our patients. We are deeply concerned about the escalating risks posed to individuals seeking hair restoration surgery, particularly in regions like Turkey, where unlicensed technicians are increasingly performing significant aspects of these procedures.

What Are the Risks of Black Market Hair Transplants?

The utilization of unlicensed technicians in hair restoration surgery, tasks that should exclusively be carried out by trained and licensed physicians, exposes patients to various risks, including misdiagnosis, failure to identify hair disorders and related systemic diseases, and the performance of unnecessary or ill-advised surgeries. Such practices not only compromise patient safety and outcomes but may also involve technicians who lack malpractice insurance coverage.

Don’t become a victim of the Fraudulent Illicit + Global Hair Transplants!

Patients, particularly the vulnerable, are often enticed by low prices and misleading advertising associated with enticing medical tourism packages. Clinics in Turkey, in particular, have been known to employ non-medical personnel with minimal training in aesthetic hair transplantation. This type of surgery poses serious health risks, often resulting in tragic side effects such as permanent scarring and infections that lead to disfiguring outcomes, leaving patients with limited recourse for correction.

What Steps Should Be Performed by a Licensed Physician?

At Leonard Hair Transplant Associates, we firmly believe that specific aspects of hair restoration surgery should only be entrusted to licensed physicians. These include:

How Can I Identify a Black Market Hair Transplant Clinic?

Distinguishing between medical tourism and visiting black market clinics in another country is crucial. The black market comprises rogue clinics, often with non-doctors on staff (sometimes with one doctor to mislead patients), engaging in illegal practices. Patients, particularly those in Turkey, have suffered injuries, scarring, over-harvested donor areas, and irreparable aesthetic results due to the unlawful actions of these clinics.

Our mission is to educate potential patients about the importance of seeking experienced, ethical doctors for their surgeries. Leonard Hair Transplant Associates is committed to providing reliable information to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their hair restoration journey. Trust your hair health to licensed physicians who prioritize your safety and deliver exceptional outcomes.
