Tips When Selecting A Hair Transplant Doctor

July 4, 2009


Lately hair transplants have become more common than ever. Hair transplant surgeries involve removing of hair from one area and transplanting it to another, where there is no hair.

Numerous doctors are available today who specialize in hair loss treatments. However many of these don’t have a basic dermatology degree which makes them qualified to treat skin, nails and hair.

When selecting a doctor for your hair transplant, follow the guidelines stated below:

Formal training: The doctor you choose should have had formal training in dermatology. This specialization is important to understand the cause of hair loss, hormonal imbalance and baldness.

Frequency: Check the validity of the doctor’s claim of experience. Since hair transplants are not major surgeries, ask the physician to see one of his procedures.

Scope of practice: It is important to know what all the doctor does. Does he do only hair transplants or does he also do other surgical procedures like face lifts, liposuction, fat tucks or any cosmetic procedures. If latter, then he may be “jack of all trades” but “master of none”. You are better off finding a doctor who is “master of one”.

Society member: Various medical societies like AMA or AOA exist. Make sure the doctor you choose is a member of one of these. You can read more about these on various online forums and websites. Private discussion forums also run and it is a good idea to check if your doctor is active in such discussions.

References: References from past patients of the doctor are also a good way to decide whether the doctor you have chosen is right for you.

Fees: Sometimes doctors who charge high fees have less experience.

When these criteria’s are met, you can move forward with confidence. Hair transplant is permanent and an affordable procedure to get back your lost hair.
