Hair transplant surgery is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in India and worldwide. It is a safe and painless solution for hair loss and baldness, offering assured results. The success of a hair transplant largely depends on the expertise of the surgeon and the medical team involved.

Hair transplant surgery is suitable for individuals experiencing various types of hair loss:

1. Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia): Hereditary hair loss affecting the crown and hairline.
2. Female Pattern Baldness: Hair thinning and loss in women due to hormonal changes or genetics.
3. Aging-Related Baldness: Commonly seen in individuals above 50 years of age.
4. Traction Alopecia: Hair loss due to tight hairstyles, caps, or turbans.
5. Post-Traumatic Alopecia: Hair loss resulting from injuries or accidents.
6. Post-Burn Alopecia: Hair loss due to burn injuries on the scalp.
7. Failed Previous Transplants: Individuals unsatisfied with earlier hair transplant results.
8. Unresponsive to Medical Treatments: Those who have not achieved desired results from medical hair loss treatments.

Common Concerns of Hair Loss Patients:

• Visible baldness or thinning hair
• Low self-esteem and confidence
• Social isolation
• Challenges in personal relationships and professional life

Various methods are employed in hair transplant surgery, each with its own advantages:

1. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE):
   • Individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and transplanted to the balding area.
2. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT):
   • A strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, and individual follicular units are dissected and transplanted.
3. Modified FUE Technique:
   • An advanced version of FUE with improved extraction methods.
4. Modified Direct Hair Implantation (DHT) Technique:
   • Hair follicles are implanted directly using specialized implanters for better precision.
