Crown Clinic

What Crown Clinic does

Crown Clinic is a privately-held UK hair transplant clinic founded in 2007 and headquartered in Manchester, with a secondary consultation clinic at 10 Harley Street in London. The clinic is led by Dr. Asim Shahmalak, a GMC-registered surgeon with over 20 years of hair transplant experience and one of only two UK holders of International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons (IAHRS) membership. All surgical procedures are performed at the Manchester facility, with London used for consultations, enabling a national patient catchment spanning England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Ireland.

The clinic's core offering centres on two surgical techniques — FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation / strip harvesting) — supported by stereoscopic microscopic graft dissection by trained technicians, beard-to-scalp FUE, eyelash and eyebrow transplants, Afro hair transplants, female hair loss treatments, and corrective 'hair transplant repair' procedures for botched overseas work. Non-surgical adjuncts include Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, and pharmaceutical products (Minoxidil, Finasteride). Pricing is per-procedure, ranging from approximately £5,000 to £12,000 depending on graft count and technique, with a £100 in-person consultation fee and instalment financing available.

Crown Clinic operates a sales-led, direct-to-consumer model with celebrity case studies (Jack P. Shepherd, Calum Best, Dr. Christian Jessen, Didi Hamann, Martin Roberts, James Nesbitt) and PR-driven earned media (BBC, ITV Granada Reports, Tatler) as primary demand-generation channels, supplemented by a content blog, social media presence, and the ISHRS 'Fight the Fight' anti-fraud campaign. The clinic is CQC-registered with an Outstanding rating, BAHRS- and ISHRS-affiliated, and positioned as a premium, medically credentialed alternative to low-cost Turkish medical tourism. Headcount is reported as 11–50 employees.
