When to Consult a Hair Restoration Surgeon
A consultation with a hair restoration surgeon is recommended for patients experiencing prolonged or progressive hair loss, reduced density, established bald patches, or irreversible hair loss when conservative treatment methods do not yield the desired results.
Indications for consultation and hair transplantation may include:
- androgenetic alopecia in men and women;
- recession of the hairline and formation of bald spots;
- significant thinning of hair in specific areas of the scalp or established bald patches;
- scarring changes in the scalp due to injuries, burns, or surgical interventions;
- hair loss in the eyebrow or beard areas;
- the need to correct the results of previous hair transplantation;
- the desire to restore hair density and improve aesthetic appearance.
During the consultation, the doctor conducts digital trichoscopy, assesses the condition of the hair and scalp, the characteristics of hair growth, and the potential of the donor area. Based on a comprehensive examination, the doctor determines the optimal method for hair transplantation and the number of grafts required, as well as provides recommendations for preparation for the procedure and further follow-up.
