Dr Matee
GMC-registered hair transplant surgeon, Surgical Director at KSL Clinic and founder of MinSim FUE™.
Dr Matee
A BSc at King's College London came first, then medicine at the University of London, qualifying MB BS in 2009. His early surgical experience came through electives at Harvard Medical School and the Trauma Centre in Dubai.
Further training followed at Queen's Medical Centre Nottingham, the John Radcliffe in Oxford and the Royal Hallamshire in Sheffield — across general surgery, plastics, otolaryngology, neurosurgery and intensive care. That breadth matters more in hair restoration than it might sound: the work is as much about tissue handling and blood supply as it is about hairlines.
He went on to found the British Hair Clinic and is now the Surgical Director at KSL Clinic. He completed advanced facial aesthetics training at the London School of Facial Aesthetics and the Derma Medical Fellowship in aesthetics in London, and is a member of FUE Europe.
In his own words
My Hair Journey
Dr Matee had a hair transplant himself before he ever performed one. He talks through what that was like, and how it changed the way he treats patients.

Beyond the clinic
Philanthropy
Two causes run alongside the practice. SAMR Trust supports charitable and educational projects, and Hair For Heroes offers free or substantially reduced-price hair restoration to people nominated by the public — NHS staff, teachers, police officers, armed forces personnel, volunteers and others who have helped British society.
Both predate the current website and are longstanding parts of how Dr Matee works rather than marketing additions.
Common questions
Asked Before Booking
Is Dr Matee GMC registered?
Yes — General Medical Council number 7043306, which is publicly searchable on the GMC register.
Where did he train?
He qualified MB BS at the University of London in 2009 after a BSc at King's College London, with electives at Harvard Medical School and the Trauma Centre in Dubai, then surgical training at Queen's Medical Centre Nottingham, the John Radcliffe in Oxford and the Royal Hallamshire in Sheffield.
What is MinSim FUE™?
His own technique, combining Follicular Unit Extraction with the lateral slit method of implantation — aimed at a natural exit angle in the recipient area and less disturbance to the donor.
Does he perform the surgery himself?
Yes. He designs the hairline, extracts the grafts and places them personally rather than delegating placement to technicians.
Has he had a hair transplant himself?
Yes, which is a large part of why his consultations tend to be blunter than most.
