1. Initial consultation (online, at a doctor's office)
- Its purpose is to determine if I am a good candidate for a transplant, and how many grafts I need approximately
- The clinics listed on best-hair-clinics.com are almost all able to provide me with an opinion online, in view of my photos
- But I can also consult a dermatologist or a clinic specializing in hair transplants near my home (identify the type of alopecia, evaluate the donor area ..)
2. Budget, destination and cost estimate
- I save an appropriate budget for a transplant in a clinic of excellence listed by best-hair-clinics.com, according to rates range, and according to the destination that I prefer
- I request a quote from several clinics (with my best-hair-clinics.com user account) and compare them
- I may ask for the help of best-hair-clinics.com to get quotes, or to choose from those I have received
3. Time for reflection
- I take my time to think because there is never an emergency for a hair transplant
- I take into consideration that I may need several transplants before achieving the desired result, especially if my baldness continues to evolve
4. Reservation of dates of intervention, down payment, air tickets
- The selected clinic reserves dates for my transplant, sends me all the necessary instructions prior to my trip (send blood analysis results, take medecine)
- I pay a deposit (credit card, bank transfer) to the clinic to block these dates, or I pay everything on site after sending a copy of my plane ticket to the clinic
- I buy my plane ticket and I inform the clinic of my arrival time (if the clinic picks me up at the airport)
5. Medical Record
- I complete the medical questionnaire of the clinic
- I send blood test results (or it will be performed upon arrival)
