Dr. Greg Vida

Harley Street Hair Clinic in London describes Vida on its own bio as a senior hair restoration surgeon 1. The clinic names him as one of its team of surgeons 5. He began performing hair transplants in 2008 and, per the clinic, has completed more than 2,300 procedures over 15 years 1. Vida specialises in FUE, and his profile notes he has had a transplant himself, which he says informs his patient care 1.

The clinic describes its FUE technique as using hollow punches of about 0.7-1.2mm to extract individual follicles 5. Per the clinic, a doctor carries out the extraction and prepares the recipient site, while a nurse prepares the extracted follicles under a microscope 5. Vida's own profile states that he personally performs both the extraction and the implantation himself 1. Sessions can run to 3,500 grafts, and beyond scalp FUE he offers eyebrow and beard transplants and treats both male and female hair loss 1. Candidacy is built around stabilised hair loss, sufficient donor hair and realistic expectations, and the clinic cites progressive hair loss, insufficient donor hair and certain scalp or blood conditions as reasons someone might be turned away 5.

The clinic states its transplants range from £2,000 to £15,000, priced in bands up to £11,000-£15,000 for 4,000-5,000 grafts 3. Pricing is published clinic-wide, not specific to Vida. The quoted price is said to include the surgeon consultation, the procedure and follow-up aftercare, while travel and hotel costs are excluded 3. The clinic notes the NHS does not fund hair transplants as they are cosmetic surgery, and offers 0% financing over 12 months 3.

The clinic says the process starts with a no-obligation consultation, by video call or in-person visit 3. During it, per the clinic, a surgeon reviews the patient's circumstances and will suggest alternatives if a transplant isn't right for them 2. Surgery is described as a single day, typically six to eight hours 5. It takes place under local anaesthetic, with the patient awake throughout 2. Afterward, the clinic describes phone contact and follow-up appointments, and recommends one to two weeks off work depending on job demands 2.

Vida is registered with the UK's General Medical Council under GMC number 7481644 1. He is also listed as an Associate Member of the IAHRS for Europe 6.
