"Please keep the following in mind: In medical hair restoration, you have only one opportunity to "get it right." Therefore, this is one procedure for which corner-cutting and bargain-hunting is ill-advised."

Dr Kim has had a long standing and continuing association with Professor Kim Jung Chul, who is internationally renowned for his work in hair restoration research at the prestigious Hair Transplant Research Unit, at Kyungpook National University in South Korea. Dr Kim acquired his visiting professorship from Kyungpook National University in March 2008 for his years of team involvement and dedication to hair loss research.

“I provide detailed and comprehensive information on the procedures performed at my clinic so that patients can fully consider their treatment options. I am committed to providing only the best in patient care, advice and support.”

Dr Kim maintains that prior to deciding on a procedure, it is imperative for the physician to fully discuss the problems and issues of the patient and to find out what exactly the patient wishes to accomplish and to discuss what can be done to address these issues. The patient needs to go through a thorough consultation session and decision process in order to achieve a desired outcome.

At Sydney Institute of Hair Restoration Dr Kim and his team of experienced Hair Transplant Technicians specialise exclusively in the practice of surgical hair restoration. Dr Kim is dedicated to providing his patients with the most natural results possible. This is the philosophy that we at Esteem firmly believe in.

Hair Restoration may be the most important self-improvement decision of your life. If you suffer from hair loss, the stigma of "baldness" is one of the first ways that people think of to characterize you. In the mind of the average person, a fuller head of hair represents attractiveness and desirability, both personally and professionally. Hair plays an important part in forming a persons image and can be affordable.
