Yes, but we do recommend that you come in-person for your consultation appointment as it includes a complete microscopic evaluation of your scalp. If you have a video or phone consultation for a hair transplant, the doctor can only provide an estimated number of hair grafts that you might need. An in-person consultation appointment allows our doctors to fully assess your scalp and to better evaluate the options available to you. If you are not able to visit us for an in-person consultation appointment, we will need you to fill out a form (via email) and also include some photos of your scalp before the phone consultation.
You are welcome to bring a friend or family member with you for support to your consultation. If you are bringing an individual that is also in need of hair loss evaluation and treatment, that person will also need to schedule an appointment. Separate payments will be required for each individual consultation. We do offer a promotion for groups for hair transplant procedures so please inquire if you are interested in more information.

Bruising or skin discoloration might be present for the first few days after the surgery. We usually give patients a baseball cap to cover the transplanted area. Those with existing hair can use that natural hair to cover the bruised areas of the transplant site.
Light non-strenuous activity can be resumed the day after your procedure. Please wait until the sixth day after your procedure to do any heavy lifting or more strenuous workouts. While light walking/jogging is fine to be resumed the day after your transplant, please try to avoid any activity that makes you sweat profusely. The sweat will not harm your grafts but we don’t want you to take a towel and wipe near/over the grafts and possibly dislodge them before they have completely settled into their new homes.
You will be able to cut your hair six days after your procedure. If you want to shave your head, you will need to wait a month before doing so.
