CHANGING LIVES ONE HAIR AT A TIME
HANS KLOK
Illusionist
MAGICAL RESULTS
Hans Klok, the internationally acclaimed illusionist, has proudly unveiled the remarkable results of his FOLLIGEM (previously known as HST) hair transplant performed at Hair Science Clinic. Known for his mesmerizing performances and iconic blonde mane, Klok chose our clinic to address his receding hairline and restore his signature look.
The Importance of a Full Head of Hair
"My hair is a big part of my appearance: it is my trademark," Klok explains. "When I noticed my receding hairline getting bigger, it concerned me. After all, a good, full head of hair gives self-confidence."
Why Hans Klok Chose FOLLIGEM
Fellow entertainer Gerard Joling, who underwent successful FOLLIGEM hair transplants in 2009 and 2011, recommended our clinic to Klok. "The personal approach, reliability, and more than 25 years of experience were the most important reasons for me to choose FOLLIGEM" Klok states. It is at the forefront of hair transplant technology. Klok notes, "They are a pioneer when it comes to hair transplants. The difference lies in the way of transplanting."
The Advantages of the FOLLIGEM Technique
Natural-Looking Results: "The grafts are so small that the implant is very fine and the result looks very natural," Klok observes. No Visible Scarring: Unlike other techniques, our method "does not leave any scars or bald spots on the back of the head." Donor Area Preservation: "Unlike other techniques such as FUE, the donor area remains virtually undamaged and hair grows back there too."
Hans Klok's Transformation
"Now that the result is clearly visible, I am extremely enthusiastic about my new hairline," Klok beams. "I can now enjoy a beautiful head of hair again, with a natural shape and high hair density."
Undetectable Results
Klok emphasizes the natural look of his new hairline: "If you did not know about my previous receding hairline and the treatment, you would not be able to see that I had undergone a hair transplant. And that is how it should be."
LIDWIEN
Professional
NATURAL LOOKING EYEBROWS
Lidwien underwent an eyebrow transplant in early 2021. She had been dissatisfied with the completeness, density and volume of her eyebrows for years. For this reason, she had permanent make-up (PMU) applied several times, which ultimately did not work well anymore.
Journey to Regain Confidence
She had long struggled with the appearance of her eyebrows, feeling dissatisfied with their lack of density and fullness. After trying various temporary solutions like brow makeup and lamination, she decided to explore a more permanent solution - an eyebrow hair transplant.
The Power of FOLLIGEM
Lidwien discovered that the breakthrough FOLLIGEM (previously HST) technique offered could provide a natural-looking, permanent solution. This fine-mesh transplant method uses ultra-thin needles to meticulously implant individual hair grafts, allowing for a seamless, undetectable result.
Overcoming Trepidation
Initially, Lidwien was hesitant about the prospect of having the donor area on the back of her head shaved. However, the skilled team at Hair Science Clinic reassured her that the shaving would be barely noticeable, with only two small strips needing to be trimmed.
A Personalized, Comfortable Experience
During the consultation, Lidwien worked closely with the doctors to design her ideal eyebrow shape, which they first sketched out and photographed. On the day of the procedure, Lidwien was pleasantly surprised by the level of care and attention to detail provided by the Hair Science team. From the anesthesia administration to the post-treatment medications and aftercare, every aspect was thoughtfully handled to ensure her comfort and convenience.
Remarkable Results and Confidence Restored
Lidwien was thrilled with the final results of her eyebrow transplant, which seamlessly integrated with her natural brow hairs for a beautifully full and symmetrical appearance. The quick recovery process allowed her to feel confident and radiant, just in time for her upcoming wedding. Lidwien enthusiastically recommends the procedure to anyone seeking a permanent, natural-looking solution for their eyebrow concerns.
BRIDGET MAASLAND
TV Presenter
TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE
Dutch TV presenter Bridget Maasland has undergone two successful FOLLIGEM (previously HST) eyebrow transplants, transforming her appearance and boosting her confidence. This innovative procedure has provided a permanent solution to years of over-plucking, which had left Maasland's eyebrows sparse and barely visible.
From Bare to Beautiful: The Path to Natural-Looking Eyebrows
For years, Maasland relied heavily on temporary fixes such as serums and daily makeup applications to create the illusion of fuller, thicker eyebrows. These time-consuming workarounds were necessary due to her history of excessive plucking, which had severely thinned her natural brows.
The Impact of Full Eyebrows
Eyebrows play a crucial role in defining facial features, adding depth and enhancing expressiveness. Until recently, reconstructing eyebrows in a natural-looking way was challenging. However, the FOLLIGEM method employed has changed that, offering a permanent and aesthetically pleasing solution. Maasland enthusiastically shared her experience: "Because of the epilation, I never had good full eyebrows, so I was always one-dimensional. Now I am in 3D, and that has really made me happier."
The Follow-Up Treatment
Building on the success of her initial procedure, Maasland underwent a second HST treatment in 2019 to further enhance her eyebrows. She praised the minimally invasive nature of the treatment, stating, "I am happy that with the HST treatment, not all the hair has to be shaved. Only a small part of the back of my head is shaved, from which they remove the hairs (grafts)."
A Discreet and Efficient Procedure
One of the key benefits of the HST method is its discretion. Maasland explained, "After the treatment, the surrounding hair falls over [the shaved area], making the treatment virtually invisible." She also noted the quick recovery time, adding, "The new hairs also attach quickly, so little 'downtime' is required."
A Transformative Experience
Reflecting on her journey, Maasland concluded, "I can now enjoy my beautiful, full eyebrows. In short, I am a happy person!" This success story highlights the potential of modern hair transplant techniques to address not just scalp hair loss, but also to restore and enhance other key facial features, significantly impacting an individual's appearance and self-esteem.

XAVIER MAASSEN
Race Car Driver
NEW LEASE OF CONFIDENCE
Xavier Maassen, a renowned motorsport personality and international speaker, underwent two transformative FOLLIGEM hair transplants (previously known as HST) in the Netherlands. His journey began in 2015 with treatment for his crown, followed by a procedure for the front of his head in 2019.
Discovering the Need
"Despite the media attention from my motorsport career and frequent stage presentations, I never felt consciously insecure about my baldness," Xavier reflects. "My thinning hair was noticeable from a young age, but it wasn't until a revealing self-awareness exercise that I realized my dissatisfaction." This exercise, which involved evaluating all aspects of his life, highlighted an unexpected area of discontent: his balding head. "The next step was to create an action list with potential solutions. For me, the answer was clear – a hair transplant."
Choosing Excellence
When it came to selecting a clinic, Xavier's decision was pretty straightforward. "FOLLIGEM's reputation precedes it. Dr. Coen Gho is an international authority in the field. My hairdresser confirmed it – their method for hair restoration is unparalleled."
The Treatment Experience
Approaching the procedure with an open mind, Xavier found the experience very manageable. "It's a full day's work, with grafts meticulously removed and replaced one by one. The procedure itself was painless." Xavier emphasizes the importance of allowing for recovery time. "I had wisely scheduled a few quiet days following the treatment. It's crucial to be gentle with your scalp in the immediate aftermath."
The Transformation
"The final result of my two treatments is, in a word, fantastic," Xavier enthuses. "I've regained my natural hairline with beautiful, dense hair. The before-and-after photos are almost unbelievable – the difference is striking." He notes an interesting psychological effect: "Surprisingly, you quickly adapt to your new appearance. The thick head of hair soon feels normal. But every glance at old photos serves as a powerful reminder of the incredible transformation."
Perhaps the most surprising outcome for Xavier was the impact on his self-image. "Before the transplants, I didn't consider myself insecure, though I understood how baldness could affect one's self-perception. Post-treatment, I've noticed a tangible difference. I feel more confident about my appearance and, unexpectedly, a bit happier thanks to my restored hair."
