Messages from Dr. Shiell

The following are my personal messages to anyone researching or considering their options in relation to the treatment of hair loss. Whether male or female, needing hair replacement or hair transplantation, I can help. Our clinics are your best choice for friendly, caring, understanding and knowledgeable service, geared to helping you achieve your desired result.

"Since 1998, techniques and results in hair transplantation have improved enormously. Tiny follicular units are now planted much more naturally into the scalp. The latest modern techniques can produce results that are virtually undetectable, even to a hairdresser."

"For those men and women who have already had a hair transplant done years ago, new techniques with small, less detectable micrographs, means that earlier work can be successfully upgraded."
