Dr Frank G. Neidel is the team head and practice director of Hairdoc, a hair transplant practice in Düsseldorf, Germany 1. The practice says (in German) that he is a specialist in surgery and has specialised in hair transplants since 1989 1. It says he has performed more than 8,000 hair transplants 1.

Hairdoc offers strip (FUT) transplants and FUE 4. The FUE page says a hollow needle of about 0.65 to 1.0 mm is used and the donor area is shaved to about 1 mm 5. It says FUE can also be done with the ARTAS robot, since 2015 5. Recipient channels are made with small hollow needles or thin micro-blades 5. The practice treats the hairline, temples, crown, eyebrows, beard, chest hair and scars, and also offers scalp reductions 4. The team page says 2 to 6 medical assistants prepare the grafts under the microscope 2. It says this allows transplants of up to 3,000 grafts 2. The practice says it performs 500 to 800 hair transplants a year 2.

Hairdoc prices by the size of the area, not per graft 4. Small areas such as sideburns, eyebrows or small beard areas cost €1,500 to €4,500 4. Medium areas such as the temples or hairline start at €5,000 4. Large areas start at €7,000 4. The FUE page gives €4,500 as the starting price for medium areas 5. The practice says it gives a detailed, non-binding cost estimate at a personal consultation 4.

The practice says patients are looked after by the operating surgeon from the first consultation to aftercare 4. It says it arranges a review of the result, usually after 10 to 14 months 5. The homepage mentions a growth guarantee but gives no terms 6.
