Albena Kovacheva

Spear’s Review

Dr Albena Kovacheva of the Harley Street Hair Clinic is among the most experienced hair transplant surgeons working in the UK today, having completed more than 1,000 procedures.

Kovacheva, a member of the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons, is particularly interested in transplants to restore eyebrows and sideburns and help with scar recovery, and she carries out work on both men and women.

She uses follicular unit extraction (FUE) – the particular specialism of the entire Harley Street Hair Clinic – a minimally invasive technique that takes individual or paired follicles from a donor part of the head at the back or sides, and implants them in the patient’s thinning areas.
