✓ No hidden costs reported

As a Black man with coily hair, I was nervous no clinic would have the right expertise. Dr. Demir explained every step in detail and her specialization in afro-textured hair was immediately obvious. 12 months in and I have density I haven't had since my 20s. The results photos on the platform matched exactly what I saw in person.

Extremely professional from start to finish. Dr. Demir personally performed every incision — I watched. The before/after photos I submitted are on the platform with correct angles. One minor point: the hotel room was a bit small, but that's not really a clinic issue.

Good experience overall. Results look natural at 6 months. Waiting to see final results.
