Dr Harpreet Kalra
Dr Harpreet Kalra is involved in consultation-led hair transplant planning at Glasgow Hair Transplant Clinics, including donor-area assessment, hairline design, crown planning, graft-number discussion, medical history review and realistic expectation setting.
His planning approach focuses on suitability first, because a safe hair transplant plan must consider diagnosis, donor supply, future hair loss, treatment area, hair calibre, recovery and long-term expectations.

Dr Kalra’s approach to hair transplant planning
Suitability before surgery
A consultation should confirm whether hair transplant surgery is appropriate before treatment is recommended. Not every patient is suitable, and the safest plan depends on donor supply, diagnosis, age, pattern of loss and expectations.
Natural long-term planning
Hairline, crown and facial hair restoration should be planned around the patient’s age, face shape, hair calibre, future hair loss and available donor hair, not just the area that looks thin today.
What Dr Kalra considers during consultation
Diagnosis and hair-loss pattern
Understanding the type and pattern of hair loss helps decide whether surgery, medication discussion, PRP or monitoring is more appropriate.
Donor-area safety
The donor area must be assessed carefully because over-harvesting can affect future options and the appearance of the back and sides.
Realistic expectations
Patients should understand likely density, growth timeline, limitations, aftercare and what surgery can and cannot achieve.
Treatments Dr Kalra can discuss
