What the exam itself looks like
A special device images the scalp and hair under high magnification. It's non-invasive — no preparation is needed beforehand.
Trichoscopy after a transplant — why around 3 months
It's part of Flymedica's aftercare: a follow-up exam in Poland, typically around 3 months after the transplant, used to assess early results and how healing has progressed.
Eligibility comes before planning a procedure
This article explains “Trichoscopy — What Does a Scalp and Hair Examination Look Like?”, but a transplant requires an individual assessment of the scalp, donor area and type of hair loss. The doctor decides whether a procedure, another treatment or postponing the decision is appropriate.
During a consultation, ask about the scope of treatment, realistic expectations, possible risks, preparation, aftercare and all costs. A price list or online photographs cannot replace medical eligibility assessment.
