I am from Italy, so my choice of clinic was easy. The Alvi Armani clinic is very well known in Italy as the best Hair transpant clinic in the business, most known for their hairlines, which was the area of the head I was most concerned with. So my choice of clinic was pretty straight forward.
I have taken a bunch of photos to document my experience, please look below.
The Doctor and staff did a wonderful job on my hairline, everything went exactly as explained to me, and the result was as good as promised.

6 Month Result
Here is how I look at 6 months. The hair is much more stylable now and I seemingly have more hair each week! I am loving my result. I am currently at 50% growth, so I have more thickening and growth to come. Delighted!
I was hoping to find a clinic as close nearby as possible, so when I found out Alvi Armani's nearest surgical center to me was in Dubai I was a little hesitant. I had never been outside my counrty before.
But I knew this was a once in a life time procedure I was having and I wanted to go with the best surgeon, so I traveled to Dubai City to have my surgery with Alvi Armani.
The trip itself was pleasant. The clinic in Dubai is clean, state of the art and was right across the street from my hotel. The staff was very friendly and accomodating which made my trip very easy.
Overall the trip to Dubai was an A+ experience. My advice to anyone is, don't let a travel trip determine who does your procedure, choose the best doctor!
FUE Technique
Probably the 2nd reason I chose Alvi Armani next to the amazing hairlines that they do is becaus of the new FUE technique and not the older strip where a big chunk of head is taken out from the scalp.
The FUE doesn't leave the scar from one side of the head to the other and I was advised the healing time was considerably faster.
Quicker healing time and no scar??? Sign me up!!!
Pre op Appointment
The day before the procedure I met with the doctor to go over one more time the placement of the grafts, hairline design and the plan for my surgery.
At that time I was encouraged to ask any remaining questions that I had.
Everyone was very patient with me and walked me thru all my questions. They spent alot of personal time with me and made sure I was happy with all the particulars. I was very thankful with the way the staff took special care of me.
Surgery day
As you can imagine, the morning of the procedure I was both nervous and excited. I woke up early that morning and went right to the clinic, I was there before they even opened!!!
The procedurer began at 8:30 in the morning. The staff brought me juice and water throughout the day. We stopped for bathroom breaks.
The staff ordered me lunch, so I had a nice break for lunch, and in the afternoon I was able to watch TV while the procedure took place.
Overall the day was very good. A little pain during the procedure but nothing I couldn't handle. The staff really made the difference as they waited on me hand and foot.
Brining me juice, orange slices, water.... anything I needed. It was nice.
The surgery concluded around 5 in the evening. I was able to eat dinner abck at the hotel and watch TV while I rested.
