A 26-year-old man who flew to Turkey for a cheap hair transplant was left ‘scarred’ after the operation.

Luke Horsfield became very concerned about his thinning hairline that he decided to spend £1,250 for the procedure.

However, the 26-year-old was left with a huge bald patch months after the six-hour procedure and his hair had failed to regrow.

“I did everything they told me to do as aftercare once I had the operation,” Luke expressed. “But after four months, I saw literally no growth. I rang them to ask why it hadn’t grown, but I was told this was normal.

“It got six months and there was a little bit of growth but not much and after a year it still hadn’t grown. I was left with scars and bald patches.”

Luke said his complaints were ignored and the clinic offered him a £400 refund for the botched transplant.

“I had always been really self-conscious about my hair and I hated it being wet or getting blown in the wind,” he shared.

“I’d always spend extra time styling it before going out, trying to hide my bald spot. It was affecting my confidence and my self-esteem, and it was something I’d been wanting to do a few years.”

He continued: “I looked into it and a lot of the places offering the treatment in the UK charged around £6,000, but they were offering it for £1,250.

“They had great reviews on sites like Trust Pilot, so I thought I was getting good value for money.

“What I didn’t know then was that anyone can post a review and companies can ask for reviews to be taken down, so I feel like I wasn’t getting a full picture.”

Luke shared his story on social media and was contacted by Hair Dr clinic, which offered to fix his hairline for free.

“They’ve done a great job and I’ve already noticed signs of growth in my hairline,” he said. “I’d just encourage anyone to properly research the clinic and operations first.”
