Which specialist performs hair transplant?

Hair transplantation moves hair follicles from a donor area to areas with reduced density. A trichology specialist examines the scalp, identifies the likely pattern and cause of loss, and considers whether the donor supply can support the proposed result.

The consultation should cover available techniques, hairline design, graft distribution, healing, and the possibility that existing hair may continue to thin. Treating an active scalp condition or stabilising hair loss may be recommended before surgery.

Select a qualified trichology specialist who can explain the diagnosis and the complete procedure in plain language. Ask who examines you, who performs each surgical step, what support is available after treatment, and what alternatives exist. Bring a timeline of your hair loss and a full list of medicines and supplements.

Arrange medical review before transplantation when loss is sudden, patchy, itchy, painful, inflamed, or associated with scalp scale or scarring. After treatment, report fever, pus, spreading redness, marked swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or severe worsening pain to the treating team.

Ask what is causing the loss, whether transplant is suitable now, which technique is proposed, how the donor area will be protected, what recovery entails, and how ongoing thinning will be monitored.
