Dr. Rashmi Aderao Skin, Hair & Laser Clinic
A hair transplant is a permanent solution to restore your natural hair looks. While medicines and other treatment options may improve your condition for some time but Hair Transplant surgery provides long-lasting results with natural looks.
The technique of hair transplant has evolved in recent years. Earlier FUT or strip method was used which involved taking a strip of skin with hair follicles from the donor site and then implanting the roots on the recipient area. This method requires high surgical skills and postoperative complications were also involved. However, FUE is an advanced method where grafts are taken individually from the recipient area and there are minimum trauma and fast recovery. With certain modifications like the usage of specialized punch, PRP, and different blade sizes we can achieve better results with minimum invasion. The advanced techniques include Bio FUE, Advanced FUE, DHI, and Advanced DHI.
The cost of a Hair Transplant depends upon the area that needs to be transplanted. Per graft, the price is decided as per the experience of the surgeon, the technique used, and the quality and size of the donor area.
This procedure is done under local anesthesia and the patient doesn’t feel any pain during or after procedure. There is no need for admission in the clinic and the patient can go back home on the same day of the procedure.
The results of a hair transplants are permanent. The hair roots at the donor area are resistant to hormone sensitivity and do not fall lifelong. They carry the same characteristics and are proven to remain on the recipient area for entire life.
Hair roots can be seen after 10 days of the procedure after the scabs get removed. But it might shed off till 6-8 weeks. This situation might cause panic and worry in most of the patients but it is normal to cycle the transplanted hair and there is nothing to worry about. Hair will start growing after 3 months again and it takes around 8-10 months for full-fledged results.
