10 Questions to Ask a Hair Doctor or Hair Specialist
Quick answer: Ask what type of hair loss you have, what is likely causing it, which options suit you and which do not, what each option can and cannot do, how long it takes, what maintenance is needed, what side effects or downtime to expect, the full cost, and when you should see a doctor. Clear answers to these questions are a good sign.
About the cause
What type of hair loss do I have? Could something medical be involved? Do I need blood tests or a doctor?
About the options
Which options suit my situation, and why? What will each one realistically change? What happens if I stop? Compare surgical and non-surgical routes on our hair transplant alternative page.
About cost and commitment
What is the total cost, including follow-ups and home products? How many visits will I need? At Folli-Doc we explain this at the free consultation, before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Is it rude to ask about cost upfront?
No. A good centre expects it and explains costs before you start.
Should I get a second opinion?
For bigger decisions such as surgery, a second opinion is sensible.
