Vinci Hair Clinic operates a big franchise. From our research, the clinic allows hospitals to register as members of their franchise, hence the growing number around the world. Vinci Hair Clinic also owns a foundation where they perform free charitable hair restoration work worth over $500,000 worldwide.
The Vinci Hair Clinic foundation program focuses on those less fortunate who have lost their hair in battles with illnesses, such as cancer and/or chemotherapy, COVID-19, accidents, scarring, surgical mishaps, and gender reassignment. The clinic also helps those who have had poor hair transplant surgery elsewhere and can’t afford corrective treatment.
Vinci Hair Clinic also has a medical academy where they offer comprehensive hands-on training courses for medical professionals who want to branch into hair restoration or aesthetic medicine.
To be honest, Vinci Hair Clinic is very impressive. But, we are more concerned with their hair transplant procedures.
The clinic’s website is user-friendly and easy to navigate. Prospective patients can easily find a clinic in their location and get information about that clinic. However, there is little to no information available for patients planning to travel from a different country.
4 / 5
The booking process on the Vinci Hair Clinic’s website is pretty straightforward. Prospective patients can make an appointment via the website or WhatsApp. Patients are required to send pictures of their hair from different angles.
Vinci Hair Clinic’s website has some information about their hair transplant procedure. Additionally, the website has a page for each hair loss treatment offered by the clinic with information about the treatment and procedures.
Their website has details of their hair transplant surgeons and medical staff. However, there is no clear price list available on their website or any of their social media pages. This leaves a gap in transparency regarding the financial aspect of the procedure.
1.2 / 5
Vinci Hair Clinic’s website does not have a lot of information for potential clients traveling from a different country. From what we found on their website, they have information about their locations around the world and prospective foreign patients may need to discuss directly with the clinic in their preferred location.
However, there’s no mention of how they help foreign patients or if they provide a local coordinator to help. Besides this shortcoming, the clinic offers free pre-consultations, although it is not certain if there is a possibility to reschedule this booking for free.
Furthermore, we couldn’t find any mention of offering nutritional supplements or any pre-operational kits included.
2 / 5
As we mentioned earlier, Vinci Hair Clinic’s website does not have any details about arrival and accommodation for foreign patients.
2 / 5
Vinci Hair Clinic’s website has several pictures and videos of its facilities and clinics. From what we can see, their clinics have state-of-the-art facilities and hair transplant technology.
Although the clinic has several certificates and awards, we cannot ascertain if they have the equivalent of an A license.
5 / 5
Led by Dr Salvar Björnsson, Vinci Hair Clinic has a large and experienced medical team. Unlike some hair transplant clinics that have little to no doctor involvement in hair transplant surgeries, Vinci Hair Clinic offers a hands-on approach when it comes to doctor involvement in surgeries.
The clinic also has nurses as part of their medical team and an English-speaking team. Vinci Hair Clinic’s website is also very transparent when it comes to showing the experience and bio-data of their team.
However, we are not sure if they offer needleless anesthesia during surgeries.
1 / 5
Vinci Hair Clinic is big on offering aftercare and post-op treatment to patients. They even offer financing options.
However, we could not get any more details about their aftercare package.
3.9 / 5.0
Vinci Hair Clinic emerges as a formidable player in the hair transplant industry, boasting a global franchise network and a philanthropic foundation dedicated to providing free hair restoration services to those in need. The clinic’s commitment to excellence extends to its medical academy, offering comprehensive training courses for professionals entering the field of hair restoration and aesthetic medicine.
Prospective patients navigating Vinci Hair Clinic’s website will find a user-friendly interface, facilitating easy access to information about the clinic’s locations and services. However, there is a notable lack of detailed information for international patients planning to travel for treatment, which may pose challenges in terms of logistical planning and coordination.
Despite the clinic’s transparency regarding its medical team and the procedures offered, the absence of a clear price list raises concerns about the financial aspect of treatment. While Vinci Hair Clinic provides free hair loss consultations, it remains unclear whether patients have the option to reschedule these appointments at no cost.
Furthermore, the clinic’s website lacks comprehensive details regarding pre-operational consultations and support for foreign patients, such as nutritional advice and pre-operational kits. Prospective international patients may find themselves in need of additional assistance and clarity regarding travel arrangements and accommodation.
While Vinci Hair Clinic’s facilities appear state-of-the-art and well-equipped, the absence of specific information about arrival procedures and accommodation arrangements may leave international patients feeling uncertain about their experience.
On the surgical front, Vinci Hair Clinic demonstrates a commendable level of doctor involvement, led by Dr. Salvar Björnsson, with a hands-on approach to hair transplant surgeries. However, clarity regarding anesthesia techniques during procedures would further enhance transparency.
Regarding aftercare, Vinci Hair Clinic emphasizes post-treatment support and offers financing options to patients. However, the lack of detailed information about the aftercare package raises questions about the extent of post-operative support provided by the clinic.
In summary, Vinci Hair Clinic presents itself as a reputable and globally recognized institution in the field of hair restoration. However, to ensure a positive patient experience, the clinic could benefit from enhancing transparency regarding pricing, pre-operational support for international patients, and detailed aftercare provisions. Prospective patients should carefully consider these factors when choosing Vinci Hair Clinic for their hair transplant needs.
First class service and treatment from beginning to end. A slick, organised and skilled team were hard at work over the course of the (admittedly long) day to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. For anyone considering a hair transplant, don’t go to Turkey. Choose the best available- the Vinci Clinic, Harley Street, London.
I had an amazing experience at the hair tricopigmentation studio in London. Miss Luba did an exceptional job with the procedure, making me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. She was professional, knowledgeable, and really took the time to ensure everything was done perfectly.
A special thank you to Martin for assisting me with the appointment booking. He was incredibly helpful, responsive, and made the whole experience seamless from the start.
I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking for top-notch hair tricopigmentation services!
Had my hair transplant at Vinci hair clinic Málaga on the 17th February this year, the process from initial contact with Vinci to the transplant itself I am extremely happy with. I initially reached out to Vinci via Instagram filled out the online form and got a follow up phone call the very next day from a UK office. Following the phone call I was passed on to Mel in the Vinci Dublin office to discuss treatment and she provided me with a number of treatment options to consider and gave me plenty of time to research and consider the options. I did look to a number of other clinics for consultations and costs and when I done the research I did finally conclude Vinci was the option I felt was the best for me. I had originally wanted to stay in the UK or Ireland for treatment. However looking at customer reviews and speaking with Mel, the clinic in Málaga and Dr Susanne specifically being mentioned by previous customers sites like Google reviews and trust pilot I felt that Málaga was the place to go.
Once a date was set the documentation and information was plentiful everything was managed by Vinci, they booked the hotel, the transport from the airport to hotel, all I had to do was book my flights and provide Vinci with the flight details. Instructions were very detailed where to meet the driver, where the clinic was from the hotel (5 min walk). The week before I got a courtesy call from one of the team in Málaga, just to see if I had any questions and to give me some detail with how the day would good.
Hotel was brilliant I arrived around mid day and room was already available. Dropped our bags of and went to find the clinic in prep for the next morning and then took the day to go and discover Málaga. The hotel breakfast was superb.
Day of the procedure, I arrived at 0800 Dr Susanne was there to meet me we had a conversation around what I could expect from the transplant and how I can get the best overall out come for after the procedure. By 0845 we started the extraction phase of the procedure and the technique that Vinci use was painless from the start, I can only describe it as the old 5 needles you got in school to numb the area initially before that apply the anesthetic via needle, which made the whole process painless. I actually feel asleep sure the extraction process and woke myself up snoring. That took us to around mid day were we stopped for lunch, provided by vinci (ham and cheese salad sandwich, chocolate bar, apple juice and water).
And by 12.30 back in for the transplanting to start. Sat up very comfortably and given the TV remote to select what I wanted to watch. Again I drifted off to sleep 2 or 3 times throughout this part of the procedure. Only time I felt discomfort was around the last 30-40 mins some minor nipping we finished up around 17:15.
I was given my aftercare pack with all instructions on how to look after the areas, medication to take when to take etc.
Then I got a follow up phone call from Dr Susanne the day after to see how I was and had slept, if I had any questions and so on.
I’ve 3 prp sessions to follow up as part of my total package and will up date again once I’ve had these and after 6 months with how it has all went.
So far I am extremely happy with the process the care I received and the after care so far. Dr Susanne was very friendly extremely informative and her team were all friendly and fantastic on the day. The wider team from initial contact with them via Instagram to booked were very friendly and informative also. The team use UK based phone lines and online payment systems so there no costs when exchange rates at anytime through the process either.
Highly recommend
I strongly recommend going with Dr Susanne Rossler at Vinci Hair clinic Malaga, even if it means you have to travel. The entire team will take so good care of you and make it feel like you are at a relaxing spa.
Shane, the sales rep, was good, reassuring and always punctual with his appointments. The clinic is clean, the staff are friendly and the op day went swimmingly. However, by the time I was at my 12 month appointment, the results were not great. Even to the point that Sharon the clinic manger (who I’m told is no longer with vinci) remarked that I may need a “top up of the treated area” and suggested that my hair looked thin, especially under natural and artificial light (what other kinds of light are there?!?). However I should wait until the 18 month post op point before I’d know the full extent of the results. So I duly waited and it’s no better.
I recontacted the clinic to be told Sharon had moved on and was put in touch with “Miran” who looked and agreed that I’d need between 1000 and 1500 further grafts. This is on top of the grafts I’d already had, to cover patches of thin hair in the graft area. Whilst I didn’t particularly look forwards to further surgery, I was willing to undergo the process to get respectable results. I’d expected a nominal fee to be charged to correct the work and was told I’d need to “cover the costs of the room” which again, seemed to reinforce my nominal fee theory.
The price of this corrective work?
£3,000. considering my first surgery was £4,000, to charge me £3,000 to put things right is a farce.
I’d also add something that has been said to me twice (only since surgery, I must add) that grafted hair “will never look like natural hair” and will never be as thick.
With this in mind, think carefully about if you really need this procedure to be carried out.
Most reviews on here seem to come from people at the 6 – 12 month period. Their healing isn’t complete at that point and they won’t actually know how it ends up.
I am not particularly happy with my results and I am less happy with their response to my concerns.
I couldn’t recommend Vinci Hair Clinic enough. From my first consultation in Dublin to flying out to Malaga and having it done. I went from feeling nervous to feeling so much at ease. Dr Suzanne and her team made me feel so comfortable.
The procedure day is long but definitely worth it. I’m currently on day five after my procedure and it’s no where near as bad as I thought it would be. I had some small swelling for a day on my forehead and that’s it.
They give plenty of information for you to follow post Op and since I’ve been following them everything has been perfect.
Thank you Vinci – I really cannot wait to see how the final results work out.
I’d highly recommend them to anyone thinking about it
Hair Transplant at Vinci Hair Clinic
Date of Procedure: 6th November 2024
Clinic: Vinci Hair Clinic
Location: Malaga, Spain
Surgeon: Dr. Susanne Rossler
I recently had a hair transplant at Vinci Hair Clinic in Malaga, and it was an excellent experience. Leading up to the surgery, Neil, the consultant, was amazing. He put my mind at ease by answering all my questions. One particularly helpful tip from Neil was to arrive a day before the procedure to meet the surgeon, Dr. Rossler. This was a great idea, as I got to discuss any concerns with her. She was lovely and very reassuring.
On the day of the surgery, I was very well taken care of. The procedure was pain-free, and I even managed to fall asleep a couple of times. Now, at 14 weeks post-surgery, the aftercare has been amazing. Neil has been incredible, promptly answering every single question I’ve had within an hour, and I’ve had many! The clinic also provided a number for direct contact, and Dr. Susanne Rossler has personally responded to my inquiries.
I want to extend a big thank you to Neil for guiding me through this journey and still being there for me. A huge thank you also goes to Dr. Susanne Rossler, who was fantastic throughout the entire procedure. I definitely recommend Vinci Hair Clinic and their exceptional team.
I also want to express my gratitude to the four technicians who assisted Dr. Rossler. You made me feel very welcome and comfortable throughout the process. Your kindness and professionalism did not go unnoticed, and I am sincerely grateful for your help.
This experience has been nothing short of amazing, and I’m grateful for the care and professionalism I received. Highly recommend!
If you’re in limbo about whether to go get transplant, do it! I promise you… after two years of shall I shan’t I, finally took the courage I needed and got the procedure done…. Shane was my rep from day one till now (7 months post procedure) and he has been fantastic helped with any questions no matter how small they probably were. The procedure itself was a lot better than I expected in terms of pain and being uncomfortable. In and out of the London clinic on the same day and 7 months on I am absolutely over the moon with my results and wishing I found the courage years ago when I first toyed with the idea of getting it done.
Vinci is a very professional set up, great atmosphere, the surgeons were all fantastic and even spoke to me after surgery in the few weeks whenever I needed anything. The aftercare was and still is absolutely brilliant!
I cannot praise enough Marina (MSP technician)was being very attentive and extremely professional. 5 stars
Unfortunately not the same I can say about the client coordinator who looked after my booking. Not prepared and poor customer service, I almost went to a competitor as the process was made not easy and clear , 2 stars
100% recommend Vinci hair if your looking for a hair transplant. Started out by meeting Shane (hair Consultant) who perfectly explained the whole process and journey so only convinced me more to go ahead with the procedure.
The hair clinic in Malaga was extremely friendly and easy going. Done a fantastic job as I’m now 6/7 months into this journey and haven’t looked back since.
Quicker you start this journey the quicker you’ll see the amazing results so highly recommended!
I have been using Vinci for a few years now and have always had a very good experience with friendly staff and great treatments. Would highly recommend.
Had a free consultation with Ricki at the Manchester clinic back in August. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish, got on my level and did everything he could to help me. Had my transplant surgery date organised for a couple weeks after that! Can’t reccomend him highly enough. On the day of the surgery I was well looked after, special thanks to Dr Amoha who was amazing all day and got me some amazing results!
Highly reccomend!
