What can be reliably assessed virtually
A well-structured virtual consultation with good-quality photographs can reliably assess: hair loss pattern (Norwood/Ludwig classification); approximate recipient zone and graft count estimate; donor zone density in visible photographs; hairline recession extent and restoration targets; and first-pass candidacy screening. Sufficient for accurate graft estimate and a personal quote for most patients.
What requires in-person trichoscopy
Precise donor density measurement (grafts/cm²); hair calibre and shaft diameter; miniaturisation mapping in borderline donor zones; scalp laxity assessment; complex cases (prior surgery, scarring alopecia, Afro-textured hair). At Hairmedico, in-person trichoscopy occurs on the morning of surgery — after virtual consultation confirms candidacy.
Hairmedico WhatsApp assessment
Three photographs: front (hairline), top (mid-scalp and crown), back (donor zone). Dr. Arslan's team reviews each set personally — not an automated system — and provides graft estimate and candidacy assessment within 24 hours. No commitment, no charge.
