Hair Transplant Consultation

Before you can sit down in the chair and receive a hair transplant from an experienced, talented surgeon, you must attend a consultation. A personalised consultation is crucial, as each case of hair loss is unique, and each patient will need a bespoke care plan to ensure their results meet their expectations. 

At Harley Street Hair Clinic, we place a lot of time and effort into our consultations and value transparency. When you meet with our surgeons, they will ask questions to understand the root cause of your hair loss and explore the best treatment options based on that. If a FUE hair transplant is the right call, they will then set realistic expectations and provide you with a cost estimate for the overall procedure. 

It’s all about providing you with expert guidance and professional advice – all tailored to your unique circumstances. When you leave a consultation with our team, you’ll be well-informed about the procedure and know exactly what to expect.

Are you wondering what to expect when you attend a hair transplant consultation with our team? Here, we’ll break it down. 

• The Initial Consultation: The initial consultation is all about discussing your hair loss history and any concerns you may have. There is zero obligation to follow through with any type of treatment at this stage – it’s all about assessing your situation and looking at potential solutions. At the same time, you will learn which hair loss treatments (such as an FUE hair transplant) may be best for your goals. 
• Hair Examination: During the consultation, the surgeon will perform a simple hair examination. It’s a non-invasive examination that doesn’t involve any discomfort – the surgeon will simply analyse your hair loss pattern, look at your scalp condition, and evaluate your donor hair availability. All of this is key to understanding the best treatment for you. 
• Treatment Planning: At this stage of the consultation, the surgeon will recommend the most suitable procedure based on your goals and hair examination, providing tailored hair loss advice. The usual recommended treatments include FUE (follicular unit extraction), FUT (follicular unit transplantation), and ATP (Advanced Tricho Pigmentation). They will also outline expected results; for example, full hair regrowth at around 12 months following a FUE hair transplant.
• Cost Estimate: The surgeon will also take into account your hair loss and the potential number of grafts needed to give you a cost estimate, which can in turn help you assess whether a hair transplant is viable and how you will finance it.

While we do a lot of in-person consultations, we also offer virtual consultation options for those who do not have the time to travel to the clinic. We use high-quality video calls and/or photos to assess the hair loss remotely, giving you recommendations based on the evaluation, such as the best treatment option and the cost estimate.  

Are you right for a hair transplant consultation with Harley Street Hair Clinic? If you have experienced thinning hair or hair loss, the chances are you could benefit from our treatment. Here’s who makes a good candidate with us. 

• Anyone with Hair Thinning, Hair Loss, or a Receding Hairline: Hair loss is common – whether you have thinning hair all over, a receding hairline, or full balding spots, a hair transplant consultation is likely to help you understand the best treatment option going forward. 
• Patients Seeking Professional Advice: A hair transplant consultation is essential for patients seeking professional advice before committing to surgery, as it’s a chance to speak to a skilled surgeon and understand the procedure in more depth, including things like recovery times. 
• Those Unsure Which Hair Treatment is Best: There are several potential hair treatments available to those with hair loss, such as FUE hair transplant and Advanced Tricho Pigmentation. A consultation is key to understanding which treatment is most appropriate. 
• Both Men and Women of Various Ages: A FUE hair transplant is great for both men and women, while more common for men, many women have been able to regrow their hair thanks to the procedure. It also works for individuals of all ages, although it’s typically best for those over the age of 25. 

Scheduling a hair transplant consultation is a way to understand what’s best for your hair goals. Here are some of the biggest benefits. 

• Personalised Advice: During a hair transplant consultation at our clinic, you will receive tailored, personalised advice based on your hair loss pattern, goals, and medical history. This will ensure you receive a hair transplant that works best for you. 
• A Clear Understanding: It’s important to be fully aware of the hair transplant procedure before undergoing the surgery, and the consultation does just that. You’ll know which treatment options are available to you, the type of side effects to expect, and the results you’ll receive. 

• Accurate Cost Estimation: Naturally, you want to know the cost of a procedure before getting it to see if it’s financially viable. A Harley Street Hair Clinic consultation will always provide you with an accurate cost estimation based on your hair loss and the required number of grafts. 
• Opportunity to Ask Questions: Whether you have questions or concerns, the hair transplant consultation is a chance to express them, and the surgeon will answer in as much detail as you need. 
• Virtual Options: You don’t have to travel all the way to the clinic for a consultation if that doesn’t suit you and your schedule, as we offer virtual hair consultations that are just as personalised as our in-person ones. 

At Harley Street Hair Clinic, our aim is to always make our patients as comfortable as possible, and that includes during the consultation, procedure, and post-procedure. When you are in our care, rest assured you’ll be in the safest of hands. 

The consultation process involves a one-on-one meeting with a hair loss specialist who will provide a step-by-step explanation of each of the recommended procedures, such as the FUE hair transplant and Advanced Tricho Pigmentation. During these explanations, you can ask questions, take notes, and express any concerns you might have. 

The hair loss specialist will also provide reassurance and advice on hair care, both before and post-treatment. They will give you a breakdown of the post-procedure aftercare treatments to expect, such as taking antibiotics or using a specialist shampoo. 

Our consultations are always held in our comfortable, professional environment at Harley Street Hair Clinic in London, where you will be completely taken care of. The only exception here is if you choose our virtual consultation option!

Also, rest assured that the initial consultation comes with no obligations. If you decide that one of our treatments is not right for you, then that is completely fine – at our clinic, our aim is to point you in the best direction for you, your health, and your hair goals, no matter what. In some cases, that might mean not getting a hair transplant. 

Naturally, one of the biggest factors affecting whether a person gets a hair transplant or not is the cost. At our hair transplant consultations, we provide an accurate cost estimate to be as transparent as possible. This estimate is based on: 

• Area of Hair Loss
• Number of Grafts Required
• Procedure Type

Using these factors, our hair loss specialist will provide a personalised quote during the consultation. 

If you want a general estimate before attending a consultation with us, you can always use the hair graft calculator alongside with our hair transplant cost table to help, keeping in mind that a consultation will provide a more accurate estimate. 

The consultation is a chance to understand the realistic outcomes for your hair loss type. After all, it’s important to know what to expect on the other side of the surgery!

Our hair loss specialists have deep knowledge of hair density, growth patterns, and timeframes. They will take your unique hair type and hair loss into account to show you the type of results you can expect, including when the results will start to show through. They will use case studies to illustrate likely results, handpicking past patients who have similar hair loss to you.
