Sources & verification

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

Editorial note: Downgraded Tier 1 → Tier 3. The one solid independent anchor is Bárbara Costa's CURRENT ISHRS directory profile (doctor/50000; also documented in ISHRS Forum 2016 FUE roundtable and multiple ISHRS annual meetings) — this saves the clinic from being dropped. However clinic-level corroboration is thin: remaining sources are the clinic's own site, Facebook/LinkedIn (self) and best-hair-clinics (aggregator, excluded). No independent editorial, no confirmed Trustpilot/Google review data, no Reddit. Co-principals Mariana Alves and Flávia Barsali have NO confirmed authority-body directory profile (verified:false). Candidate JSON originally omitted Flávia Barsali and mislabelled the team as two doctors — corrected here to the real three-doctor roster. Contact (landline, mobile/WhatsApp, geral@ email) is published on the clinic site.
