General Questions
Hair transplantation is a well established surgery with assured results to gain your natural looking hairs back which grows like natural hairs & usually they are for your entire life! You can go for hair cut & style you dreamed for. They grow back even after you clean scalp shave. We have expertise in creating natural looking and undetectable hair transplants.
With the use of latest technology such as digital microscopic dissection with 30 to 40 X magnification. It is possible to make very thin grafts without damaging the structure of hair follicles, which are called as "ultra refined follicles". Because of these, the surgeon can place them in the recipient area by making very tiny slits with micro-blades. After regrowth it gives very natural looking which mimics your original hair.
Hair transplant is a very superficial procedure you need not anticipate any surgical complications in expert’s hand & at a good center.
Yes, there can be reaction to any medicine such as local anaesthesia also. We are using the medicines which are having least chances of reaction. We basically are plastic surgeons who are also expert in tackling the emergencies like reaction to any medicine.
I adapt all the pain minimising techniques during the procedure, tolerable pain which you may feel for a seconds, only at the time of injection. Once local anaesthesia is given, you will be in a relaxing mood.
There are no major complications associated with hair transplantation when performed by an experience surgeon in a good setup. Occasionally very minor complications like temporary facial swelling may occur (if you don’t follow the advice given by us) which usually resolves on its own without any medication and occasionally some pimple like eruption can occur in the transplanted area. Damage to underlying nerves is rare.
Hair transplantation is a day care and simple procedure. You can go back within one hour of the procedure and you can take rest at your home. Generally we ask you to come for follow up for shampooing after 24 to 48 hours and you can start your normal work from third day itself.
Depending upon your choice we can do the procedure even without removing the hair from the scalp, however it is expensive compared to the procedure done with hair shaved. Advantages of hair transplant without shave is that from the 2nd day itself no one can detect that you have undergone hair transplantation.
Latest technology like Ultra Refined Follicular Unit Transplant method, harvesting FUE with smaller size punches, Implantation with non-touch techniques etc. gives more natural looking hair after growth with more density & minimal damage to recipient scalp area. It cannot be differentiated from the natural hair. It reduces pain.
The very older surgeries involved plug type transplants which has become obsolete. Even now some centres which cannot follow the latest methods and practising the earlier methods the results after hair transplant are detectable and can be identified by anyone.
As we are adapting the latest method tricophytic closure method in FUT and smaller size sharp imported punches in FUE to give almost negligible scaring to donor area. Even at the recipient sites we are using very small size Multi Slit Knife, our own invention & patented technology, a more refined technology, to give almost negligible and undetectable scars. Very rarely depending upon the individual healing characters and nature of skin some patients may get detectable scars.
Hair transplant involves only the superficial layers of the scalp and not the underlying bone and structures. It will not damage the skull bone and there is no injury to brain.
Yes. 100%.
Transplanted hairs start growing after 3-4 months but minimum time required to see hair growth is between 6-9 months, as the time progresses the hair becomes thick and achieves the thickness equivalent to your natural hair within 18 months.
There is no age limit. If you are medically fit, then you can get hair transplant done. The lower age limit depends on doctors discretion and the patient’s will to undergo the procedure.
Depending upon the quality & quantity of donor hair, it may vary anywhere between 1-3 sessions depending upon the individual.
