Pre-Hair Transplant Medical Evaluation in India

Key Steps in Pre-Hair Transplant Evaluation

A structured medical evaluation covers both hair loss assessment and overall health checks. The process may include:

• Detailed patient history, including hair loss onset, family history, and prior treatments
• Scalp examination for density, donor area quality, and hairline design suitability
• Blood tests such as CBC, random blood sugar, liver and kidney function tests
• Screening for infectious diseases like HBsAg, HCV, HIV
• ECG for patients with cardiovascular risk factors
• Medication review to adjust or pause drugs affecting bleeding or healing

These steps are tailored to individual needs and guided by evidence-led protocols to reduce surgical risks.

Eligibility and Risk Factors

Doctors assess if the patient is a suitable candidate for hair transplant based on donor hair availability and medical fitness. Common factors influencing eligibility include uncontrolled diabetes, active scalp infections, and certain autoimmune conditions. In some cases, non-surgical treatments such as GFC therapy or hair mesotherapy may be advised before surgery to improve scalp health.

Patient Preparation and Privacy

Patients are advised to avoid alcohol, smoking, and certain supplements for at least one week before surgery. Hair washing and scalp care instructions are provided. When reviewing before/after photographs during consultation, Alloroots maintains patient confidentiality by using privacy-compliant documentation. That is why personal health information and images are handled under strict medical ethics.
