About the Clinic

Tir na nÒg Clinic is an Irish-owned practice in Dublin, founded in 2011 and operating from premises in Dublin 13 since 2016, when it began offering hair transplant surgery. It provides surgical and non-surgical hair loss treatments, with FUE surgery the current focus after the practice initially offered FUT strip surgery. The surgeon aims for hairlines shaped to suit a patient's age, with the irregularity and angulation of natural hair, and advises patients who are not suitable candidates for a transplant; a range of devices is used for graft extraction and placement to suit differences in skin thickness, donor density and recipient area needs.

Meet the Doctor

Dr. Kevin McDonald

Dr. Kevin McDonald is a co-founder of Tir na nÒg Clinic, which he started with Natasha McDonald in 2011 and which has offered hair transplant surgery since moving to The Grange Clinic in Dublin in 2016. He is a surgeon who trained in hair transplant surgery in London, Georgia, Turkey and Dublin, initially performing FUT strip surgery before concentrating on FUE. He focuses on hairlines shaped to suit the patient's age, with irregularity and angulation intended to resemble natural hair, and adapts his choice of extraction and placement devices to differences in skin thickness, donor density and recipient area requirements. He also advises patients when they are not suitable for a transplant.

Procedures Offered

FUE
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area using a small circular punch tool. The harvested follicles are then carefully implanted into the balding or thinning areas of the scalp. This method leaves tiny, nearly invisible scars rather than a linear scar, resulting in faster healing and the ability to wear shorter hairstyles. Because of this, FUE is the most popular hair transplant technique today.
FUT
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), also known as the "strip method," involves surgically removing a narrow strip of scalp from the donor area, typically the back of the head. The strip is then carefully dissected under a microscope to separate individual hair follicles, which are implanted into the recipient areas. While this technique leaves a linear scar that requires longer hair to conceal, it allows surgeons to harvest a large number of high-quality grafts in a single session, making it cost-effective for patients needing extensive coverage.
