Confirm Eligibility
One of the integral factors for any hair transplant is ensuring the Donor site is strong enough to excise hairs from.
Certain medical conditions such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood-clotting or excessive scarring should be brought up during your consultation.
We will examine the strength and thickness of your hair to assure the follicles will be able to successfully transfer to the front or top of the head.
Create a Personalized Plan
During the consultation Dr. Sharma will ask about your hair loss history. This will allow him to determine how effective the hair transplant procedure may be for you.
No two hair transplants are the same. A consultation with Dr. Sharma assures that he is able to follow your natural hairline and enhance its density.
After assessing your goals Dr. Sharma will be able to determine where your new hair line will sit post-procedure.

There is no such thing as a bad question so Dr. Sharma wanted to publicly answer just a few of them over coffee to help you understand more about what we do best.

We’ve compiled a list of some of the most common questions asked during our initial consultation
What makes the process permanent is the fact that the newly transplanted hair follicle will retain its “safe” donor characteristics. This hair is resistant to DHT. This is hormone that causes male pattern hair loss to miniturize and ultimately stop hair from growing for most men.
Trying to decide if you’re a good candidate for hair transplant surgery? Typically, you’ll need to have healthy hair growth in the back and sides of your head, which can be used as donor areas.
There’s no doubt that hair transplant surgery can be successful, and in turn, boost your confidence, but it’s important that you have realistic expectations about the end result. Discussing your goals with a licensed hair transplant surgeon like Dr. Sharma can help to ensure your procedure is successful.
All hair transplant techniques use your existing hair, and therefore the goal is to find the most efficient use of your existing hair to give you a more natural appearance. But it’s important to remember that there are limits as to the results you can achieve, based on the amount of hair that you currently have. If you have very little hair, then this type of surgery may not be a good option for you.
The cost of a hair transplant depends on the procedure type and the number of grafts transplanted. Dr. Sharma performs the procedures manually in order to ensure the most natural look possible. Hair transplant procedures generally start at $6,000.
Even though hair loss is an unavoidable experience for many people, it is possible to turn back the clock so you can regain a youthful appearance. Dr. Sharma has a keen artistic eye and years of experience creating natural hairlines. Dr Sharma’s methods are designed to create results that look like you never had a procedure in the first place.

A local anesthetic block is used which is very comfortable (the patient can even watch a movie if they so wish during the procedure).
Post-procedure, patients seldom require anything stronger than a simple analgesic such as Advil.
Patients are then followed up personally by Dr. Sharma. He will always consult with the patient the day following the surgery and ensure they are sent home with full after-care instructions and contact telephone numbers for the clinic (24 hours per day for the first three days post-surgery).
One of the most important aspects of hair transplant surgery is obviously the recovery process. The reality is that how you feel after the procedure depends largely on the severity of the procedure. Any tightness, or pain can be managed with medication prescribed by Dr. Sharma. Typically, if bandages are used they can be removed by day three, and you can often begin washing your hair within two days after surgery. If stitches were used during your procedure, they’ll be removed in 7-10 days. It’s important to discuss items like bruising, swelling and drainage with your surgeon to ensure you understand what to look for after hair transplant surgery.
