Start With a Consultation

Determining candidacy for hair restoration requires a thorough medical evaluation that assesses donor density, scalp laxity, and patterns of hair loss progression. For patients outside the province, virtual consultations can provide a preliminary assessment before committing to travel. Dr. Sharma evaluates each case individually, following the guidelines set by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), to assess surgical suitability and anticipated outcomes. Given the current scheduling requirements of approximately three months, it is essential to book consultations well in advance. Travel arrangements should only be finalised after receiving medical clearance and completing the surgical planning process.
