With the
rise of medical tourism, rose the concept of virtual consultation which saves
time and distance for patients seeking medical help abroad who merely want to
inquire and learn their candidacy for a particular procedure.
Instead of
crossing seas only to find out that your trip was a waste of time, money, and
energy; you can now find whether you are fit for hair transplants or not from
the comforts of your home.What are online consultations for
As is the
case with any medical procedure, not any person could make for a suitable
candidate for the surgery. Vera Clinic has made it possible for its patients to
inquire about their personal case from their homes. In order for hair
transplants to be successful, various conditions need to be available.
Disorders like diabetes that affect wound healing exclude their victims from
the surgery.
In
addition, you need to have sufficient donor
regions that could
cover your balding scalp. Donor region refers to the part in your scalp from
which hair growth is both stable and predictable to harvest follicular units
from and later relocate to areas of hair loss.
In some instances, patients may
have donor regions, but unfortunately, the supply is not adequate to cover the
balding areas. Consequently, for that reason, if you suffer from alopecia universalist
(hair loss all over the body) or alopecia totals (complete hair loss in the
scalp), you do not make for a suitable candidate for hair transplants.
Another
critical factor is the underlying cause of hair loss which may affect the
predictability of hair loss and stability of donor regions.
Conditions that
could exempt you from continuing with the procedure include alopecia aerate.
Hair loss from injuries, styling, or hormones (androgenic alopecia) can be
reversed with hair transplants.
The equipment you may need
All you
need is your phone camera. First, the medical specialist assisting you will
request pictures of both your donor regions and balding regions. Since your
candidacy depends entirely on the images of said regions, you need to master
the art of picture taking.
Here are a few tips that you could use for clearer
pictures.
- Never use flash
You should never use flash when taking pictures of your scalp. For starters, flash distorts and alters features to make them either appear to be thicker or thinner than they are in reality. In other words, they could alter your donor and recipient regions in a way that would eventually harm you.
If your donor regions appear thicker than they really are, you will probably be rejected when you go for the in-person consultation. Likewise, if they make your donor regions appear lighter or recipient region bigger, you may be dismissed although you make for a suitable candidate.
As a result, you should be careful not to use flash while clicking away with your camera to help your medical specialist assess your case.
- Consistent lighting
If this
sounds more like a long-term precaution, then you guessed right. You may not
need to maintain your lighting when taking pictures of your scalp as they will
be taken in the same period.
However, your medical specialist will follow-up
with your post-surgery and request pictures to ensure a safe recovery for you.
As a result, you should take your pictures in a room in your house that you can
resort back to when necessary. Book your consultation today by visiting
