Hair Assessment
Comprehensive Hair Assessment
Comprehensive Hair Assessment
A hair assessment provides a structured evaluation of hair loss, scalp condition, and follicle characteristics. At Dr Graft Hair Transplant, assessments are conducted within a medical framework to understand individual patterns of hair thinning and to guide appropriate next steps.
Hair loss can vary significantly between individuals. A detailed assessment helps clarify the stage, rate of progression, and potential contributing factors.
This process supports informed discussion of whether treatments such as hair restoration, PRP therapy for hair loss, or ongoing monitoring may be appropriate.
Arrange Your Free Consultation
A consultation provides time to discuss your hair loss concerns, assess suitability, and understand which treatment options may be appropriate based on individual circumstances.
There is no obligation to proceed with treatment.
Understanding Hair Loss and Assessment
Hair loss may present gradually or more noticeably over time. Patterns can vary and may include hairline recession, crown thinning, or diffuse thinning.
A comprehensive hair assessment considers:
- Individual hair loss pattern
- Hair density and distribution
- Donor area availability
- Scalp health and condition
- Family history and progression
This structured approach allows a clearer understanding of hair loss before considering treatment options.
Not sure which treatment is right for you?
A medical consultation allows assessment of hair loss type, donor hair availability, and long‑term planning before any treatment is considered.
Scalp Analysis
Scalp health plays an important role in hair growth and treatment planning.
A scalp analysis may involve:
- Close examination of the scalp surface
- Identification of inflammation, dryness, or irritation
- Assessment of follicle condition
Understanding scalp health assists in determining whether further medical management may be required before considering procedures such as a hair transplant.

TrichoTest (Genetic Hair Loss Testing)
In some cases, additional insights may be obtained through TrichoTest, a genetic test that analyses how individuals may respond to certain hair loss treatments.
This assessment may provide information about:
- Genetic predisposition to hair loss
- Potential response to medical therapies
- Individualised treatment considerations
TrichoTest is discussed during consultation where clinically relevant.
A consultation allows a personalised review of hair loss, scalp condition, and available options.
