How to plan your hair transplant with DHI India?
Before Arrival
The beginning of a treatment is an in-depth and thorough diagnosis. At DHI, we do a proper Alopecia Test to determine the best solution for you. Process starts by planning a consultation with the Master Surgeon on a video call. A preliminary evaluation is performed on the basis of scalp pictures taken at specific angles. These pictures provide an initial view of how many follicles are required in the transplantation site and whether donor area is adequate to meet this requirement.
