Hair Transplant Virtual Consults

HIPAA Compliance

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a series of federal regulatory standards that outline the lawful use and disclosure of protected health information. It sets the standard for sensitive patient data protection. 

The pandemic has changed the healthcare setting, and maintaining privacy compliance is more difficult than ever before. However, we decrease the risk of private health information and make sure your medical records are safe before we undergo any hair restoration procedure. 

You have to know your rights before you connect with any medical practitioners online due to increasing numbers of using and sharing electronic patient data. At The Hair Transplant Center – Fort Worth, we provide a HIPAA-compliant platform where we can discuss your concerns without violating your privacy and ensure data security. 

Dr. Thiele or one of our health personnel can explain the finer details of HIPAA to make sure your details are protected when you undergo a virtual consultation.

Benefits of Remote Appointments

Virtual consultations have become even more important during the COVID-19 pandemic. We all fear spreading and catching the virus during in-person consultations. This led us to use technology to provide and receive health care.

Virtual Consultation Benefits

• Comprehensive: Dr. Thiele will evaluate every detail even before you step in front of the computer screen; during your virtual consultation, you’ll be provided with all the information to create the best approach to your hair restoration treatment.
• Convenient: By scheduling an appointment that matches your hectic schedule, you can join us from the comfort of your home.
• Compassionate: By decreasing the need for assembling in a lobby, we remove the possibility of exposing you to the COVID-19 virus; our team at The Hair Transplant Center – Fort Worth takes great pride in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and decontamination.

Eligible Candidates

Ideal candidates for hair transplants have realistic expectations for new hair growth and are ready to work with our team of hair restoration experts to turn their goals into reality.  

During your virtual consultation, Dr. Thiele will examine the details of your hair loss to determine your eligibility for the hair transplant procedure. In case a hair implant is not the best option for you, then he will suggest a different approach in line with your hair restoration goals.

Preparation and Procedure

During your initial consultation, you will receive detailed instructions to prepare for a hair transplant procedure. Preparation for a hair replacement may come in different forms, depending on which hair restoration technique Dr. Thiele evaluates your hair growth needs.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

The process of collecting healthy hair from a donor site is called follicular unit extraction (FUE). Dr. Thiele performs this procedure by extracting individual follicular units (one to three hair follicles) from an area of vibrant hair growth — on the back of the head — and moving them to another part of your body where hair is thinner or absent.

Topical Solutions

If you do not have as many viable follicles on your donor site as needed, Dr. Thiele may recommend a different approach to hair restoration by offering a selection of topical solutions to address your hair loss issues. For men, he may suggest taking oral finasteride (Propecia), as well as topical minoxidil (Rogaine) for women. You’ll know it’s the best prescription if it works for you.

Facial Hair Transplants

Once we conduct your virtual consultation, make sure to show off your impressive profile when you get on the screen with Dr. Thiele. He wants to know all your struggles with uneven facial hair growth. At The Hair Transplant Center – Fort Worth, hair transplant techniques can be tailored to the overall conformity of facial follicles to achieve the desired density of your eyebrows, beard, or mustache.

Private Consultation in Fort Worth and Beyond

Get ready to share your medical history and hair growth goals during your virtual consultation. Make sure there is ample light in the room from where you are situated. Place your laptop or computer near a window to get the benefit of natural light, or have a lamp ready just in case. You can even use your smartphone to fill yourself with light. 

Dr. Thiele has an eye for detail. After your digital appointment, he will examine your past pictures, your recent photos, and your medical records. Based on his findings, he will recommend a hair restoration treatment that fits your hair loss needs and goals.
