Initial Consultation

Here’s what you can expect from the Consultation process:

Step 1: Book Your Appointment

• The first step is booking your consultation. This can be done here or through the booking links. Once your appointment is scheduled, you’ll receive a confirmation email with further instructions.

Step 2: Pre-Consultation Form

• In your confirmation email, you'll find a pre-consultation form. This form is essential for Stephanie to get a comprehensive view of your health and lifestyle. It will ask for details about your medical history, diet, exercise habits, family medical history, and current hair care practices. This form should be completed and returned before your consultation to help Stephanie prepare for your visit.

Step 3: The Consultation

• When you arrive for your consultation, Stephanie will begin with a friendly chat to review your form and discuss any concerns you may have. Next, she will conduct a thorough examination of your hair and scalp, take measurements, trichoscopic images and photographs. These images are crucial for monitoring your progress over time.

• During this session, Stephanie will recommend blood tests if she believes they are necessary to understand any underlying endocrine or metabolic factors that might be affecting your hair health. Potential treatment options will also be discussed. You can also opt for blood tests prior to your appointment.

Step 4: Virtual Follow-Up (If Blood Tests Are Recommended)

• If blood tests are carried out, Stephanie will schedule a 15-minute virtual follow-up session to discuss the results. During this follow-up, she will review your diagnosis, prognosis, and any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Step 5: Next Steps

• Based on the consultation findings and any test results, Stephanie will either book you in for treatments or provide referrals to other specialists if necessary. She may also recommend additional tests, such as DNA or hair analysis, to further understand the root cause of your hair concerns.

Additional Support

• After your consultation, you’ll have access to follow-up notes through a personalised portal. This keeps all your information and recommendations in one convenient place.

Follow-Up Reviews

• Follow-ups are typically scheduled for 3-6 months after your initial consultation or after starting your treatment plan. During these follow-ups, Stephanie will review your photographs, images and measurements to monitor progress and assess the effectiveness of your treatment plan. Adjustments will be made as necessary to ensure you continue to achieve the best possible results.

Note

• Stephanie is dedicated to providing personalised and effective hair loss treatments. She believes that successful treatment begins with a thorough understanding of your unique hair and scalp condition, so she does not offer treatments without an initial consultation. Identifying the root cause of your hair loss is crucial; applying therapy without an accurate diagnosis can be ineffective and may potentially worsen your condition. Hair loss is a complex issue that can stem from factors such as genetics, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, stress, or underlying medical conditions. Misdiagnoses or overlooking subtle nuances can result in treatments that don't address the core problem. This approach extends to diagnoses made by other professionals as well; while Stephanie respects their expertise, she prioritises conducting her own comprehensive assessment to tailor the most effective treatment plan for you.
