The Importance of the Initial Consultation

An ancient proverb states that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. While your hair restoration journey will be significantly shorter, it also begins with a single step: your initial consultation.

Your first appointment with a hair restoration doctor will help you set goals for your hair and chart a path to help you achieve them.

Why Do I Need a Hair Consultation?

You may wonder, “Why are hair consultations important before starting hair restoration services?” It’s only natural to want to start treatment right away, but it’s important to take the time to gather information and carefully explore your options.

When considering a hair transplant, your initial consultation will provide both you and your doctor with the information necessary to determine the best course of action and to formulate the hair restoration plan that best meets your needs.

What Can I Expect at a Hair Consultation?

At your initial consultation, your doctor will ask you about your hair loss history, your family hair loss history, and your medical history, including any allergies, medications you take, and surgeries you’ve had in the past. This will allow him or her to understand what may be causing your hair loss and how you might respond to hair restoration treatments.

They will then examine your hair and scalp to determine where you are on the Norwood Hair Loss Scale and to further assess the extent and type of hair loss you are experiencing. If there are conflicting indicators regarding what is causing your hair loss, you may be referred to a dermatologist for additional testing.

After the examination, you and your doctor will discuss your hair goals to determine what sort of density and hairline you hope to achieve. Your doctor will then walk you through the options for hair restoration as well as what is involved with each method offered by their practice. At this point, they will formulate a treatment plan tailored to your needs – which can be surgical, non-surgical, or a combination of both. Be sure to ask any questions you may have about the process… your doctor is happy to answer them.
