Hair loss evaluation
The first step in your treatment journey. Complete our secure online evaluation so our medical team can assess your suitability for surgical or non-surgical treatments.
All evaluations are 100% confidential with no obligation.
This is not a sales form — it’s a medical screening tool designed to ensure you receive professional advice from the outset.
What the evaluation involves
- Takes around 10–15 minutes to complete.
- Requires clear photos of your hair and scalp (all uploads are secure and confidential).
- Helps us understand your hair loss in detail and recommend the most appropriate next step.
What happens after I submit my online evaluation form?
If Dr Ball feels that surgery is an appropriate option for you:
- You will receive an email to arrange an in-person consultation with Dr Ball at our Portsmouth clinic. The cost for your medical consultation is £150.
- This assessment allows Dr Ball to thoroughly assess your hair loss and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and long-term goals.
- This also provides an opportunity to answer any questions you may have about the treatment and expected outcomes.
If non-surgical treatments are recommended:
- We will explain the alternative treatment options via email, detailing why they may be better suited for your current situation.
- Non-surgical treatments are often ideal for early-stage hair loss or for stabilising your condition before considering surgery.
For younger patients, those with diffuse thinning, or recent hair loss:
- We may recommend a consultation at our Portsmouth clinic with a trichologist, who is a specialist in non-surgical hair loss management, for a thorough assessment and treatment plan. There is a fee of £150 for an in-person consultation (up to 60 minutes).
- This is ideal if surgery isn’t suitable but you’re looking to preserve and improve your hair and scalp health.
Long-term planning at The Maitland Clinic
At The Maitland Clinic, we take long-term planning of surgical hair restoration very seriously. As hair loss is progressive in most cases, the need to prevent further hair loss is essential. Therefore, it is unlikely that we would recommend surgery as an option for male patients under the age of 27 unless their hair loss has been stabilised using non-surgical treatments. You may find it helpful to read our blog about who is a candidate for hair transplant surgery.
