When attempting to find a good HT Doctor, should one that doesn’t do a Miniaturization test be a strong factor in determining whether to use them?
There are many doctors that do not map the scalp for miniaturization. It is a relatively easy procedure, and in my hands it is basic to using medications like Propecia, in determining the health of the donor area, and in developing a long term Master Plan for the patient. If they do not use a high-powered video device to examine the hair, they will miss things like diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) on many patients who have it. And to continue that example, I am sure that if they end up performing surgery on a person with DUPA, they will absolutely harm them.
I am not a fan of doctors that do not do a complete examination of the scalp before they go forward with hair transplantation surgery. Of course, you should make your own determination of that issue.
