Background
Dr. Taleb Barghouthi is the founder and medical director of Vertex Hair Clinic, which describes itself as one of the region's few centres combining hair transplant surgery, hair loss medicine and scalp disease management under one roof 1. The clinic is based in Amman, Jordan 5. Per the clinic, he trained in Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery before pursuing a dedicated hair restoration fellowship 1. Alongside him, the team includes qualified nurses and hair technicians who assist with the various tasks involved, without specifying which steps each role performs 1.
Procedures and techniques
Vertex offers FUE alongside strip FUT, medical therapy, PRP, low level light therapy, hair systems and trichology 2. For FUE, it describes mechanically extracting follicular units with 0.8-1.0mm punches under mild sedation and local anaesthesia, using fine needles it says minimise discomfort after the first injection or two 2. FUE is positioned as suited to a very short haircut, since punch scarring heals as scattered dots rather than a line, and the clinic states its own transection rate runs up to 8% of attempts 2. Up to 2,000 grafts can reportedly be moved in a single session, with a second session the next day for higher counts; FUE grafts are said to need extra post-operative care since they carry less protective tissue than strip grafts 2.
Pricing
No specific fees are published on the clinic's site. Its page on choosing a team argues cost should never be the determining factor, since a poorly done cheaper transplant can waste donor hair that cannot be replaced 3.
Booking and aftercare
Consultations are run in person, covering a full medical history, a discussion of the patient's hair condition, and a physical examination of hair and scalp, and patients are encouraged to bring a friend or family member along 4. The clinic says it tries to keep only one client at the clinic at a time as a privacy measure 4. On procedure day it says no bandages are usually needed and patients can leave within half an hour, though driving is discouraged and transport can be arranged 2.
Credentials and memberships
The clinic lists Barghouthi's memberships as Intercollegiate Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons, the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, the American Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, and The Trichological Society 1.
