30% Off Hair Transplants Now Available
Since 2004
Sander, a Dutch influencer with 18 million followers worldwide, shared his struggle with hereditary hair loss in a vlog. Starting at 23, his hairline began to recede and his crown grew thinner—a source of great stress for someone constantly in front of the camera.
After trying hair growth serums and laser therapy with no results, he finally chose Barley Micro-Needle Hair Transplant Hospital in China. Today, we follow Sander's story to see his complete journey from hair loss anxiety to new hair growth.
From check-in to doctor consultations, there was professional English support the entire time—I had zero concerns about communication.
The moment Sander stepped into Barley's Shenzhen headquarters, his first worry evaporated.
The device gently scanned my scalp, and the screen immediately showed my follicle density and activity clearly—even marking which follicles had atrophied and which still had potential for recovery
Seeing the test results, Sander finally understood his hair loss situation: the doctor told him he had 4,790 healthy follicles on his crown and forehead available for transplantation. His scalp oil secretion was normal, ensuring a high post-surgery follicle survival rate.
This data-driven professionalism made Sander feel truly at ease, especially compared to the vague diagnoses he'd experienced in Europe.
My biggest fear was that the transplant would look unnatural, or the hairline wouldn't suit my face shape
Barley's personalized design plan solved this worry perfectly. The doctor first took photos of his face from multiple angles and designed three hairline styles: naturally rounded, sharp-angled, and softly blended. Sander and the doctor fine-tuned every detail—from hairline height to follicle distribution density—until everything was confirmed.
The doctor also explained that Barley's implantation pen has a diameter of only 0.4-0.8mm, 30% smaller than traditional tools. This allows 360-degree flexible implantation, ensuring natural layering of new hair that matches the design perfectly. Once the plan was finalized, Sander began looking forward to the day he could take off his hat.
On the day of the surgery, Sander arrived at the hospital an hour early. Nurses prepared sugar-free coffee and a playlist of Dutch pop music to help him relax.
Getting the anesthetic felt like a light mosquito bite—I barely felt any pain
During the entire procedure, the medical team had clear divisions of labor; follicle extraction and implantation were smooth and precise. Every 30 minutes, they checked on his comfort and adjusted his position promptly.
Aseptic procedures were followed throughout, all tools were single-use sterilized, and the doctors' and nurses' hand hygiene was even stricter than in hospitals I'd visited in Europe.
It's worth noting that 80% of Barley's doctors have over 10 years of hair transplant experience. Thanks to this expertise, what would have required two separate surgeries was efficiently completed in just 10 hours—with all 4,790 follicles accurately implanted.
When Sander walked out of the operating room, his forehead only had mild redness—no significant swelling, and none of the messy "full-head bandages" he'd feared. "The doctor immediately handed me a thick English care manual, detailing rules like no water on the scalp within 24 hours, avoiding spicy food, and getting enough sleep," Sander said.
Barley's thoughtfulness didn't stop there: nurses gave him a care kit with specialized shampoo, sterile gauze, and follicle nutrient solution. They even helped him book a room at a partner hotel near the hospital for post-surgery rest. "Knowing I'm an international visitor, they offered airport pick-up and drop-off services, and even said they could help arrange transportation for me in Shenzhen—it was so thoughtful," Sander added. This meticulous care left him feeling positive about his recovery.
One week after the surgery, Sander returned to the hospital as scheduled for scab removal. "I was worried scab removal would damage the newly implanted follicles, but the nurse used a professional soft brush and mild medical shampoo to gently comb my scalp— the scabs fell off naturally with no pain at all," he said. While working, the nurse taught him at-home care tips: use finger pads to massage the scalp when washing hair (avoid scratching with nails), avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure to prevent scalp sweating and infection.
Even more surprising was Barley's 10-year follow-up service: "After scab removal, the nurse added me on WeChat. Every month, she sends English care reminders and checks on my follicle growth. I get prompt responses to any questions I have." This responsible post-surgery follow-through means Sander—even back in the Netherlands—can access professional guidance anytime.
In his vlog eight months after the surgery, Sander finally took off the hat he'd worn for 5 years. On camera, he had a clear, natural-looking forehead hairline and thick, voluminous hair on his crown—no signs of a hair transplant at all.
At my follow-up check, the doctor used a device to test my follicle survival rate—it exceeded 92%, higher than initially promised!
Now, he no longer needs to search for specific angles when filming videos, and can enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and swimming freely.
His transplant story sparked lively discussions among his European followers; many international netizens left comments asking about the hospital.
I always tell them: Barley's micro-needle technology is recommended by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS). With over 40 direct-operated hospitals nationwide, the quality is consistent—they can choose with peace of mind
