Considered to be the best hair loss treatment, it comprises of hair transplantation by FUE along with non-surgical therapy which simultaneously enhances residual hair as well as transplanted hair by presence of high concentration of growth factors directly near the hair roots and stimulation of STEMCELLS.

The advantages of this procedure are:

• To preserve & enhance hair follicle viability during and after transplant;
• To reinvigorate dormant hair follicles and stimulate new hair growth.
• Decreased out of body time of follicles causing early & better survival.
• Better healing of both recipient and donor areas.
• Improvement in quality of pre-existing and residual hair.

This procedure is also favoured in some cases where the demand for the number of hair grafts is less and the area of grafting is minimal. For e.g.: eyebrow, small alopecic patches of the scalp or for repeat sittings in the same patient.

Hair transplantation is a minor out- patient surgery that requires 4-12 hours and is usually performed under local anaesthesia. No dietary restrictions are required.

The desired area of hair transplantation is discussed with the patient and the area is marked preoperatively.

• Now we perform hair transplantation by FUE technique which involves direct removal of individual follicular units (each contains 1-4 hairs) with the help of specialized equipment. As no cutting and suturing is required in this method the cosmetic results are excellent in the donor area with No visible scarring.
• These small grafts are then meticulously planted into the bald or thinning area of the scalp (recipient area) maintaining same angle as the other hair present.

• Within 24 hours small crusts will form on each graft that is then shed in approximately 2-3 weeks
• The grafted hairs will often start to grow by 2-4 months and full results are achieved at ~ 1 year after the procedure.
• A minority of patients may experience mild swelling in the forehead area for a few days following surgery which goes away in 3-4 days.
• Patient may be asked to use moist compresses or sprays and to sleep in a semi upright position for 2-3 days following the procedure to minimize swelling.

This assessment is based on the area to be transplanted and the eventual hair density required. In most cases, we keep hair density of 35-45FU/cm2. .¬¬A rough estimate is given below (in red ) in terms follicular units. Kindly note each FU contains 2-3 hairs.

Renowned for having the best hair transplant doctors in Delhi, we provide a detailed post-operative instruction sheet to the patients so any possible events do not come as a surprise to them.

Bandaging – is preferred as it prevents postoperative oozing. While it is true that FUE wounds close very early, still a bandage is preferred as small bleeding points and staining over pillow cover may cause anxiety to the patients. Since the area here is large we prefer to use thick rectangular pad. An antibiotic cream is also used, as it prevents adherence of the pad to the raw areas. The bandage is removed the next day.

Return to work and travelling – Purely from a medical view point, patients can return to work with a cap the next day. Patient should understand that FUE area remain noticeable for a least a couple of weeks hence those for whom wearing  a cap is not an option such as teachers, may need to apply for a leave for 7 to 10 days. Travelling is allowed from the next day.

Exercise – Follicular unit extraction patients can start all exercises and yoga from the very next day.
