Background
Raghu Reddy is Medical Director of Restore Hair Clinics, based at 107 Harley Street in London.1 On the clinic's about page he describes his own 17-year struggle with hair loss as the reason he moved into the field, saying he had seen "many poorly planned surgeries and disappointing outcomes" before deciding to focus on restoration himself.1
Procedures and techniques
The clinic performs FUE, which it describes as "minimally invasive."3 Its homepage credits Reddy by name with "20 years of experience" and calls him "the pioneer of Third Generation FUE," and separately advertises "more than 6,000 successful FUE procedures" clinic-wide without naming a specific surgeon for that figure.3 On the about page, in his own words, Reddy states "with nearly 6,000 procedures performed, I can guarantee that every patient receives individualized, expert care."1 The clinic's FAQ caps single-day work at a maximum of 2,000 grafts, running 8 to 10 hours, and splits larger cases across two consecutive days "to maintain precision and graft survival."3 Reddy states the clinic incorporates Acell as part of its technique.1 The clinic says over 40% of its workload is repair and correction of transplants performed elsewhere.1 Candidacy is described around having a healthy donor area, thinning hair or hair loss, and good general health, confirmed at consultation.3
Pricing
No price list is published. The stated process is an initial consultation followed by a cost quotation, then a deposit to secure the procedure date with full payment due 28 days beforehand.3 The about page also states the clinic "back[s] our work with guarantees," though the terms of that guarantee are not specified on the site.1
Booking and aftercare
After booking, the clinic says it provides "detailed pre- and post-operative instructions" ahead of the procedure and guides patients "step-by-step" on the day itself.3 Follow-up is described as quarterly checkups every three months to monitor progress and make adjustments, alongside continued use of hair-loss medication to help maintain results long-term.3
Credentials and memberships
Reddy is a Full Member of the ISHRS, a status the society's registry confirms alongside his MBBS.2

- 2,200 grafts surgery 2025
Streetdaddy35 was booked in with Dr Raghu Reddy as of April 2023, writing he was 'scheduled next month' and 'already paid in full.' By September 2025 he posted his own results thread, reporting roughly 2,200 grafts over 2 days with Dr Raghu Reddy, paid 15000 USD, and shared photos about 4 months post-op. He said he was 'satisfied and doubt[s] anyone can tell i had it done,' with his one nitpick being a wish for a little more irregularity in the hairline.

OP (u/vsma663) had a 2700-graft FUE procedure with Dr Raghu Reddy; no price or surgery date is stated. They report the density was not good enough and the hairline placement wasn't as hoped, saying they 'didn't think his work warranted the price, and it felt rushed.' When OP later wanted Reddy to repair the result, they say Reddy stopped replying after they posted a critical review, so OP instead had a 2000-graft revision with Dr Matt Egan, which they called fantastic.

u/Ibrox1972 had 2,689 grafts placed in the front half of his scalp only (no crown work) by Dr Raghu Reddy in London in 2022, paying £14k for a two-day procedure, and paired it with finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling for separate crown thinning. Across updates at 5, 7, and 8.5 months he was consistently positive, saying at 7 months he was 'happy with it just now' and by 8.5 months 'really happy with it,' also calling the surgery itself 'fine' with Reddy and his assisting doctors 'great.' He acknowledged a commenter's note of lingering multi-hair grafts in the hairline but said he wasn't concerned since they're only visible up close.

ContributionDue3137 has only consulted with Raghu Reddy, never had surgery with him. In 2023, as a Norwood 3, they were quoted 3800 grafts by Reddy, which they flagged as high next to other doctors' 2200-3200 estimates, and while 'considering Raghu Reddy despite his high pricing,' a commenter's critique of his recent hairline/density work 'gives me pause for thought.' By 2025, now Norwood 4, they reported Reddy was among several reputable surgeons who told them transplanted hair is 'far more resistant' and that medication was 'not necessary' in their case. No booking or completed procedure with Reddy is recorded.

- male 46 yo 1,500 grafts surgery 2025
- absolutely thrilled with the results source ↗
- meds masked effect, hard to isolate transplant's impact source ↗
909jim, 46, had around 1,500 grafts with Dr Raghu Reddy's London clinic in January 2025 to address diffuse thinning while keeping his mature hairline. At 10 months post-op he reported he was 'absolutely thrilled with the results.' He noted that having been on oral minoxidil and finasteride since April 2024 darkened his hair and halted further loss, making it hard to isolate the transplant's own effect in his before/after photos, but he remained very happy with the outcome. No price was disclosed in the thread.

This 34M patient booked Dr. Raghu Reddy in 2024, paying 14,000 GBP for ~2,700 grafts focused on the frontal third over two full days, with Dr. Reddy personally handling extractions and the aesthetically critical placements. Right after surgery he called Dr. Reddy 'a true professional'; by 3 months and 3 weeks post-op he reported 'Super happy so far.' He noted he cannot tolerate finasteride at any dose due to libido loss, so he's relying on minoxidil and ketoconazole shampoo instead.

By 4 months post-op he said he was 'pretty happy' with a result that looked 'quite natural as far as I can judge it,' though he shed about 50% of the transplanted hairs before regrowth kicked in. His one criticism was that Reddy 'liked to brag a bit about his money.' In a separate same-day post he reiterated he was 'quite happy so far.'

u/Diligent-Ad-5654 had 1,400 grafts with Dr Raghu Reddy at Restore Hair Clinic (107 Harley Street, London) in April 2022, paying £8,000, after being quoted £3,000 for 4,000 grafts by two Turkish surgeons. He posted photos through the 18-month mark showing continued growth and rated the overall experience 10/10, writing that 'Dr Raghu reddy was simply amazing.' He reasoned that patients often don't need as many grafts as quoted and that wasting donor supply is the real risk, and reported no complications.

OP had a ~1600-graft transplant with Dr Raghu Reddy in London in 2024, initially disappointed that the hairline looked uneven on one side, and returned about a month later for a free revision (~150 extra grafts on the higher side); by his August 2024 update he said the result 'looks way more even' and he was 'much happier with it now.' The original grafts shed heavily (an estimated 50-60% loss around week 4-5) while the revision grafts never shed, and by his 5-month update in January 2025, with regrowth visible from month 3, OP reported 'It's looking pretty good now.'

He reported no side effects from finasteride, though he experienced some shedding around months 9-10.
