Hair transplants can be life-changing—but in the wrong hands, they can quickly turn into a nightmare. Across Asia and beyond, a rising number of hair transplant scams are leaving patients with botched results, permanent damage, and zero legal recourse.

At Clinique de Paris, we’re committed to patient safety and transparency. Here’s what you need to know to avoid falling victim to hair restoration fraud.

1. Too Good to Be True? It Probably Is.

If a clinic is promising full results within a few weeks or offering “unlimited grafts” at cut-rate prices, beware. Reputable providers prioritize realistic outcomes, not gimmicks.

Red flag terms:

  • “Guaranteed full hair in 2 weeks!”

  • “Package deal with hotel + transplant for $500”

  • “Instant results with no downtime”

2. Research the Surgeon, Not Just the Brand

Some clinics use the name of a licensed doctor on their website but let technicians or trainees perform the procedure. Always ask:

  • Who will perform the actual surgery?

  • What are their qualifications?

  • Can I see before-and-after results from actual patients?

3. Ask About Hygiene and Safety

Shady clinics often cut costs by reusing instruments or skipping sterilization protocols. This increases the risk of infection, poor graft survival, and scarring. Visit the facility or ask for proof of safety certifications.

4. Push for Transparency

A trustworthy clinic will provide:

  • A detailed treatment plan

  • Realistic recovery timelines

  • Written consent forms

  • Transparent pricing with no hidden charges

5. Choose a Recognized, Certified Clinic

Clinique de Paris stands apart with:

  • Certified specialists in DHI and FUE

  • International safety standards

  • A proven track record with thousands of successful cases

  • Customized, ethical care plans
