Dr. Kitti Kovács

MD, hair transplant surgeon at HairPalace since 2017; FUE (FUE2 safe system) specialist. Currently the featured operating lead on the clinic's team/doctor pages.

Verified profile ↗ (clinic doctor page (hairpalace.co.uk/doctor/kitti-kovacs) — named, self-published)

Dr. Erika Gucsi, MD no longer here

Formerly described as chief hair transplant surgeon at HairPalace Budapest (Hungarian Medical Chamber, MD 2014, ~8 yrs experience). CAVEAT: her dedicated doctor URL now redirects to Dr. Kitti Kovács content, so Kovács appears to be the currently-featured lead. Gucsi's current day-to-day involvement is UNCONFIRMED — flag as possibly departed/reduced. No ISHRS/IAHRS listing.

Sources & verification

Last verified 2026-07-12 · placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: ADVERSARIAL: Clinic existence solidly multi-sourced — Trustpilot (4.0/~524, large volume) + Google Maps/business-listing presence = 2 independent, aggregator-free legs. RED FLAGS retained: (1) NO named principal verified by any hair-restoration authority body (ISHRS/IAHRS/ABHRS) — all doctors clinic-stated only. (2) UK-facing marketing front (.co.uk domain, +44 number) for a Budapest surgery — presented as a medical-tourism intermediary. (3) Dr. Erika Gucsi previously billed as chief surgeon but her doctor URL now redirects to Dr. Kitti Kovács — Gucsi flagged as current-involvement UNCONFIRMED; Kovács is the featured current lead. Kept at Tier 2 on strength of clinic sourcing, but principal verification is thin. Kitti Kovács photo is named + self-published on her doctor page = high confidence it is her; kept. Email/phone published on clinic site, not guessed.
