The consultation process at Harley Street Hairline is designed to give every patient the information they need to make a genuinely informed decision — not to sell a procedure. Understanding what to expect from your appointment helps you come prepared and get the most from the time with Dr Qurbain.
Your consultation begins with a detailed discussion of your hair loss history — when it started, how it has progressed, what treatments you have tried, any family history of pattern baldness, and whether you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications that might be relevant.
Dr Qurbain then examines your scalp directly, assessing hair density, calibre, miniaturisation pattern, and donor area quality. In some cases, trichoscopy is used to provide a magnified view of follicle health. This examination takes time — it is the basis for everything that follows, and a quick visual scan is not adequate for accurate surgical planning.
A discussion of your goals follows — what you want to achieve, what areas concern you most, and what your expectations are regarding density and appearance. This is as important as the clinical assessment. The best surgical plan is one that addresses what matters to the patient within the constraints of what is clinically achievable.
You will leave with a clear summary of your candidacy, a recommended approach, an estimated graft count, the expected timeline of results, and a transparent pricing breakdown. There is no obligation to proceed, and there is no pressure to make a decision on the day. If you want time to consider, take it.
