Dr. Bijan Feriduni

Dr. Bijan Feriduni founded a hair transplant clinic in 2000, based in Hasselt, Belgium 1. He trained in hair transplant surgery from 1995 at Transhair in Düsseldorf 2. The clinic says he has performed more than 10 000 procedures, averaging 30 to 40 a month, and tries to perform one procedure a month free of charge for patients whose hair situation has not recovered naturally due to an accident or radiation after an illness 2.

The clinic's main technique is FUE, extracting follicles with what it calls a tiny hollow needle, then making incisions with blades it says suit the patient, attentive to hairline direction, density and distribution 4. Sessions can reach approximately 4500 follicular units 4. The clinic also offers FUT, BHT, eyebrow, eyelash and beard transplants, transplant repair, and a SHA-Lift or forehead reduction for a high hairline without hair loss 4. Every applicant first completes an online consultation form; the clinic may decline candidates over age, hair situation or type of hair loss 4.

No transplant price list is published; the clinic says cost depends on personal wishes, donor area, grafts needed, technique and health 3. Booking an in-person consultation costs €242, paid in advance to confirm the appointment 3. The clinic states that unusually cheap offers elsewhere usually mean compromised quality 3.

Booking runs in three steps: an online form, an emailed assessment and, if approved, a price offer within a week, then contacting the clinic to schedule 1. Aftercare on the day is handled by a named staff member; patients leave with clinic products including shampoo, serum, oil, spray, a neck cushion and medication 5. A return the next day is, the clinic says, as the patient wishes and not obligatory 4. The clinic describes this optional visit as a soft wash and aftercare 5. The clinic asks for progress photos at 14 days and 6 months, then an in-person final check-up 12 to 18 months after treatment 5.

The clinic states Feriduni is board-certified in general medicine in Belgium (1998) and holds certification from the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (2012) 2. It also lists memberships with the World FUE Institute, IAHRS, the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians, the German Society of Laser Medicine, ISHRS, ESHRS, EACS and the American Hair Loss Association 2.
