Prohair Transplant Clinic Budapest

"Was recommended by a friend in the UK who had an a transplant there . 2 years ago arranged my own transplant and the results are beyond my expectations. Know I can look in a mirror with confidence , before the transplant I would avoid any mirror due to my hairline. Would fully recommend. and was well worth travelling to get done in Budapest . Communication was amazing and aftercare help was great"

"Unfortunately I cannot recommend Dr. Mantse. I had a transplant at his clinic in spring of 2023. He performs his surgeries in a mansion on the outskirts of Budapest and his wife assists him during the procedure. As you can see from the photos the density is very poor. I had 3000 grafts implanted and I estimate that about 1/4 - 1/3 survived. One complication I had was that the scabs persisted for up to 5 weeks after surgery. Dr. Mantse explicitly advised against removing the scabs after 14 days instead advising to spray them with salt water daily to remove them, which was a very time consuming process that took 5 weeks in total. I think this ultimately lead to the poor results. Why? Let's dive into the scientific literature on scabs and graft anchoring "Bernstein & Rassman (2006): Graft anchoring in hair transplantation" states the following: "The study showed that for the first two days, pulling on a hair always resulted in a lost graft, but the chance of the graft being removed started to decrease by the third day. By the sixth day pulling on a hair would no longer dislodge the graft. Pulling on an adherent scab always resulted in a lost graft through day five, with the incidence decreasing through day eight. However, by nine days post-op, grafts were no longer at risk of being dislodged." "Schweiger et al (2015): Highly efficient and compatible shampoo for use after hair transplant" state the following: "It is crucial to gently remove scabs since avoidance of crusting reduces the occurrence of graft dislodgment during the first 7 days after hair transplant" "Shichang et al. (2024): Self-management in the post-hair transplantation recovery period among patients with androgenetic alopecia: A qualitative study" state that: "In the first week post-surgery, gentle fingertip massage should be used to remove scalp scabs." So contrary to what Dr. Mantse advises scabs can be removed by gentle shampooing and fingertip massages. Prolonging the existence of scabs after 14 days is not beneficial to graft survival and actually detrimental to graft survival, contrary to what Dr. Mantse seems to believe. Also I never received the PRP treatment which he gave in his offer. Given his lack of expertise in the realm of after-treatment I cannot recommend Dr. Mantse"

"had my hair transplant at Prohair Clinic 13 days ago with Dr. Mantse. Over 3 days he transplanted a total of 3100 grafts. He explained everything clearly before and after the procedure, and so far I am healing beautifully. Compared to another clinic I visited 3 years ago, where I paid much more for fewer grafts, Dr. Mantse was far more meticulous and precise. He told me that his philosophy is “quality, not quantity,” which is why the procedure takes 3 days – and the difference truly shows. I am very satisfied with my experience so far. Can’t wait to see the final result! I will keep updating this review as time goes by and share my progress, so others can see how the results develop."

"I am 27 years old and I have been shaving my head since 19 I have had extreme hair loss and at some miracle 6 months down the line I currently have a full 3000 grafts permanently planted with the hope for an other transplant soon , I have been shocked by how I can wash and brush my hair which I literally haven't done in years I have to thank DR Thomas for this it's helped me with confidence, the recovery was very good I had constant conversations with Dr Thomas he helped me out and really cares about his work , I haven't known a more specialist individual in my life what can I say the guy loves the craft , Dr Thomas was also very helpful with logistics and transportation/accommodation if you are debating a transplant and a little unsure talk to Thomas he'll sort you out"

"Thomas is the man. He explained everything in great detail from the initial consultation, leading up to the procedure, during and afterwards. Nothing was missed and he answered all questions. The results so far (9 months) have been great. If you listen to his expert advice after treatment then you end up with great results. Would highly recommend him to anyone."
