Overview

About Hair Loss Consultation

A consultation is the starting point for any hair restoration plan. It looks at the pattern and stage of your hair loss, the quality of your donor area, your medical history and what you hope to achieve.

The aim is a clear, honest picture of your options. For some people that includes a transplant; for others, medical treatment, PRP or simply monitoring may be more appropriate. A good consultation also explains what is not realistic.

Suitability

Who it may be suitable for

  • Anyone noticing thinning, a receding hairline or patchy loss
  • People considering a transplant who want an independent view of their donor area
  • Those who have had a previous transplant and want to know what is still possible
  • Anyone unsure whether surgery or non-surgical treatment is the better route

A remote review is a first opinion. Some findings can only be confirmed when the clinician examines your scalp in person.

The process

How it works

  1. Share your photos

    You send clear photos of your hairline, top, crown and donor area, plus brief details of your hair loss history and health.

  2. Clinical review

    The surgeon’s team reviews the photos and notes the pattern of loss, donor density and any points needing further checks.

  3. Your options explained

    A coordinator shares the clinician’s view, suitable options and, if relevant, an approximate graft range.

  4. In-person confirmation

    If you go ahead, the assessment is confirmed in person before any treatment, and the plan can still change.

Recovery

What recovery usually looks like

  1. Within 24 hours

    A coordinator usually replies with the first findings and next steps.

  2. Before travel

    Questions are answered and, if you choose to proceed, dates and a written quote are prepared.

  3. On arrival

    The surgeon examines you in person and confirms or adjusts the plan.

Timelines vary between people. Always follow the aftercare instructions from your treating clinic.

Good to know

Risks and considerations

  • Photo quality makes a difference: good lighting, dry hair and several angles allow a more useful review.
  • Some causes of hair loss need blood tests or a dermatology assessment, which the clinician may recommend.
  • There is no obligation to proceed with anything discussed in the consultation.
