Beware of Clive Hair Clinic : Auckland!!!

[Manik]

I have just finished my 10 month treatment at the Auckland Clive Hair Clinic - after parting with close to NZ$3000.00, I am no better than when I first started. I do not have any significant hair loss diseases (eg. alopecia, etc) but simply a victim of the aging process. I am a fit and healthy 54yr old male. When I first went to their clinic, they promised me hair growth and thickening - after a using their products and following their regime religiously, I have to admit that there isn't any progress and I am now $3000.00 poorer.
My last consultation and protestations were fruitless. Please be careful out there!!!:wacko:

"Hair Clinics" are all total crap
The worst ones will tell you to take vitamins and snake oil. The "best" ones will get you on the big 3 after charging you hefty $$$ for a consultation that consists of info found in every 2nd thread on this forum.

Agreed.


Give you overly priced snake oil claiming to be a serum to inhibit DHT, vitamins with 'proprietary/matrix blend', and minioxidil then charge you a 10x the cost for a simple infective stack.

They usually throw in the stupid hair grow helmets. Laser therapy, and charge a boat load for these sessions.

Can't forget the trivial shampoos, conditioners, and repair serums they throw at you also.


What else am I missing?

Maybe a trichologist's professional input. A lecture or two in how your diet and lifestyle is responsible for your hair loss and that you should switch to a low GI diet.

I saw a trichologist once, biggest scam going.
