When Is Hair Transplant Required?

Hair is one of the first and important aspects of a personality that a person notices about another person. Hair transplant in India is very common nowadays. One of the reasons is the increasing hair fall problem that is faced by both men and women because of environmental, genetic, and other chemical factors. Many people experience low confidence because of hair fall and balding. This is most observable in the office spaces and professional environments. Considering that the hair transplantation cost in India is very less, it is a good idea to get a hair transplant done if you feel that you have too many hair fall problems and that is affecting your social as well as professional life.

We see many youngsters also nowadays having hair fall problems. Hair fall is not something that should be big enough to ruin your dreams and aspirations. The solution to this is very easily available in almost all the cities in India and around the world. If your head looks too bald or it looks shabby because of patches of hair here and there (there is no proper consistency), then it probably is time for you to consider getting a hair transplant in India.

The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the most advanced and popular unisex pattern baldness treatment that is offered in the country. The hair transplantation process in India has become fairly easy and hassle-free. A lot of patients from abroad come to India for its inexpensive cost of the surgery. The hair transplant cost in India starts from USD 800 for patients from abroad. This particular technique involves the harvesting of each hair follicle individually using high precision and sharp punches which are then transplanted back immediately on the bald patches on the scalp to give a head full of hair. Although small linear scars are left on the scalp, in the process, it is not as painful as strip harvesting or the FUT technique of hair transplant.

The main difference between the FUT and strip harvesting is that although a strip of tissue with hair follicular units is excised from the back of the scalp, it is done in small, precise, and manual punches instead of taking a strip at a time and hence is also comparatively less painful for the patient.

The back and the sides of the head remain unaffected by baldness and not susceptible to the action of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), therefore, they make the perfect donor area for hair transplant treatments. Besides that, people with very good beard hair have the added option of using beard hair for the transplant. The beard hair, being thicker and coarser, makes the hair on the scalp look thicker and denser after the transplant. In extremely severe cases of baldness, the chest, axillary, or pubic hair is used as the last resort for hair transplantation.

Hair Transplantation Cost in India

No matter how advanced the FUE hair transplant technique is and how attractive the scalp looks after the transplant, the main question that remains is that, is hair transplantation in India really successful? The answer is fortunately YES.

The FUE type of hair transplant offered in the HairMD clinic, Pune is known for its success rates with real and amazing hair transplant results. Hair transplantation in India has emerged as a common and popular cosmetic medical procedure.

According to Dr. Sachin Pawar, a hair transplant surgeon, the hair transplant rates in India vary from Rs. 15 to Rs. 120 per graft with some clinics offering hair transplant packages ranging from Rs. 30,000 and above according to the level of customization. The most common factors that are instrumental in determining the cost of the hair transplant are listed below:

• Requirements of the graft according to the grade and affected area of baldness
• The donor area which is usually important to determine whether the FUT or the FUE technique is to be applied
• The kind of technology, customization, and equipment used for the transplant
• The surgeon is the most important factor that determines the cost as well as the success of the hair transplant treatment
• It is often seen that the location of the clinic, that is, in which city the clinic is located plays a role in determining the cost of the hair transplant procedure
• Last but not least, the number of sessions or the time required for the treatment is another factor that contributes to determining the cost of the transplant

Medical treatment in India is often considered among the most affordable packages. However, the treatment offered in the hospitals, as well as clinics in the country, remain uncompromised. This is also the reason, medical tourists from even the most developed countries travel to India to avail the best medical facilities at an astounding price. Thus, like several other cosmetic treatments, the cost of hair transplants in India is one of the lowest across the world. International Candidates looking for affordable hair graft solutions may avail of the treatment at $0.20 to $1.6 per graft price range. 

What Are The Factors Affecting The Cost Of Hair Transplant In India?

Many factors determine the actual hair transplantation cost in India. One of the main factors is the place where the patient chooses to get a hair transplant. There are many centers all over the major cities in India that are now offering hair transplants. The patient must have a thorough idea about the place he or she is opting to get the hair transplant done. The main reason for this is the sheer number of transplantation centers that have opened up in recent times. It is good to ask the hospital or clinic for proper references and testimonials of any past clients. Another thing that affects the cost of the hair transplant in India is the doctor who is performing the procedure itself. Experienced doctors may charge a bit more for the same procedure as they may have specialized techniques that they have developed in the field of doing many hair transplant surgeries. Another factor that determines the cost of transplant surgery is the amount of hair that needs to be transplanted. If there is only a small amount that needs to be transplanted and it will get over in a sitting or two, then the cost that is associated with it will be lesser than a transplant that requires many sittings. Another deciding factor of the cost of the transplant surgery is the type of surgery that the patient prefers. Some types of hair transplants can be performed. This is discussed in the next section.

What Are The Top Techniques That Are Utilized In India For Hair Transplantation?

Two main transplant techniques are followed by Indian doctors. These are the stilt graph technique and the micrograft technique. The stilt graph technique is used when more coverage of hair is required; this is because each graft contains about 5 to 10 hair follicles. The micrograft technique is used when less coverage of hair is required; this is because each graft contains about 1 to 2 hair follicles.

Two main techniques are used to get the hair follicles that are required: FUE (follicular unit extraction) and FUT (follicular unit transplantation)

• • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): FUE hair transplant in India is very common. In this particular procedure, the follicles of hair are cut directly from the backside of the head by thousands of small and secured punch incisions. The surgeon then makes small holes in the place where the hair is supposed to be transplanted with the help of a blade or special needle, and then they place these newly extracted follicles in that place. Once the graft is completed, the surgeon will cover the area with bandages so that it can heal in its own time. Hair transplantation cost in India for this type of surgery is very affordable, and even if multiple sittings are required, the cost will still be less expensive when you look at the benefits of this type of transplantation.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Cost in India

LEVEL OF BALDNESS	NO. OF GRAFTS REQUIRED	AVERAGE COST (USD)
IIa	800-1400	USD 900 to 1350
III	1000-1600	USD 1000 to 1500
IIIa	1400-1800	USD 1250 to 1850
IV	1600-2200	USD 1350 to 2050
IV	1800-2400	USD 1500 to 2300
V	2000-2500	USD 1650 to 2350
Va	2200-2800	USD 1700 to 2600
VI	2400-3000	USD 1850 to 2900
VII	2500-3200	USD 2000 to 3100

• FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): The FUT procedure is a little different from the FUE procedure. In the FUT procedure, the surgeon will identify a long area at the back of the head. This area should have good hair growth for a few inches long. The surgeon will then use a scalpel-like tool to remove a long (inches) of scalp skin at a single go. The area from where the skin graft is obtained is then closed by the procedure of stitching. The hair transplant surgeon will then cut up these long skin grafts into very small pieces with the help of a magnifying glass and a scalpel. These sections will then individually be implanted at the place where the hair is supposed to grow. The hair transplantation cost in India for this type of surgery may be a bit more when compared to the FUE procedure.

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) cost in India:

LEVEL OF BALDNESS	NO. OF GRAFTS REQUIRED	AVERAGE COST (USD)
IIa	1400-2200	USD 1450 to 2300
III	1600-2400	USD 1650 to 2500
IIIa	2000-3000	USD 2150 to 2500
IV	2200-3400	USD 2300 to 3500

VI	3000-4600	USD 3150 to 4800
VII	3200-5000	USD 3300 to 5200

PRP Treatment in India

Platelet-rich Plasma treatment abbreviated as the PRP treatment is gaining ground as a form of a modern solution for hair transplants. Supported by many specialists, PRP treatment is offered as the next best solution to hair loss after hair grafts. PRP is collected from the patient’s own blood. The blood with a higher concentration of growth factors as well as cell signaling factors are injected into the candidate. PRP treatment has thus shown exceptional benefits in stimulating hair growth. India offers some of the most cost-effective PRP treatments across the world. There are several clinics in the major metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, etc. that offer PRP treatment for hair loss in India. The cost of PRP hair treatment in India is estimated to be around $59.63 to $198.75. 

Robotic Hair Transplant In India

Robotic Hair Transplant is highly preferred in the case of Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE. In this procedure, the hair follicles are extracted from the regions of dense growth (known as donor regions) and implanted in regions of less growth (recipient region) with the help of robotic technology. This procedure is preferred by both candidates and surgeons as it has higher accuracy than traditional procedures. Apart from this, there are several other advantages of robotic technology over other traditional technologies. This is because the latter is more time-consuming and is not completely efficient. Thus, robotic hair transplantation is preferred by the candidates who are ready to invest in a more permanent and aesthetic result altogether. One of the biggest reasons why most of the candidates prefer robotic hair transplants in India is the affordable cost of the procedure. The robotic hair transplant cost in India is approximately $0.87 to $1.43, which is lower than what is offered in many major countries. Thus, some of the best clinics in India which offer RHT are:

• Dermasculpt Skin and Hair Clinic
• iGraft Global Hyderabad
• Regenix Clinic
• Bbeauty Skin & Health Clinic
• Dr. Aggarwal’s Clinic

Surgical Benefits & Non-Surgical Benefits of Hair Transplant

Where baldness is a serious issue for people, many candidates often have difficulty in figuring out which procedure is the best fit for them. Choosing between the surgical and non-surgical treatment of hair transplant is a tough choice for people who are unaware of the advantages on either side. This is also the reason why proper medical guidance is highly required before availing any of hair transplantation procedure.

Benefits of Surgical Hair Transplant:

For people who want permanent hair solutions, availing surgical procedures guarantee better benefits of hair transplantation. Surgical measures ensure:

• Better physical appearance. This is because the procedure assures natural-looking hair growth thereby guaranteeing a more natural look to the individual.
• Cures balding. In most cases, surgical processes provide the ultimate solution for balding as the follicles are directly transplanted and implanted onto the scalp which causes hair growth
• Lesser maintenance. One of the prime benefits of hair transplantation via surgical methods is that it needs lesser maintenance. The hair growth is mostly natural and does not need additional effort after the procedure.
• Long-lasting. Surgical procedure is better lasting than the other procedures. This is because healthy hair-growing follicles are embedded inside the scalp which causes normal and regular hair growth for a long time.

Benefits of Non-Surgical Hair Transplant:

Where surgical treatment is often considered as a permanent solution, there are several benefits of non-surgical hair transplant, which are:

• Affordable. Non-surgical procedures are more affordable than surgical ones as they are minimally invasive and can be performed by traditional measures.
• Instantaneous result. One of the biggest reasons why most people adopt non-surgical procedures is because they can achieve the desired appearance instantaneously.
• Painless. Non-surgical procedures are adopted because they are not so painful. Such procedures do not have long-term side effects and also do not cause soreness.

How Long Does The Hair Growth Take?

The rate of hair growth varies from person to person. Depending on the rate of metabolism, and various other biochemical changes the rate of hair growth may be high or low in people. However, as per the American Academy of Dermatology, on an average the hair growth of humans is estimated to be approximately one and half-inch per month. Thus, in a year, the total hair growth of a person is about six inches. However, the growth of the hair can be altered to a certain extent and increased with the help of healthy diet and supplements. However, hair growth after hair transplantation works in a different fashion. In the initial three to four months post-procedure, the growth is observed to approximately 12% to 20%. This rate increases up to 50% over a period of six months and in the following eight to nine months the growth exceeds up to 80% altogether. The rate of air growth varies even after transplantation. Where in some cases growth is observed to reach its peak in between sixth to ninth months, in other cases, hair growth may take up to 12 months. 

Note: Every candidate undergoing the procedure should keep in mind the post-transplantation, hair fall will be normal and maybe noticed during the second or eighth week after the successful completion of the surgery.

Types of Hair Transplants Offered in India

Even though a few decades earlier, hair transplant was something very alien and viewed with skepticism by the people in India, the scenario is not quite the same as of 2018. Due to the rising trend of balding at a very young age because of stress, lifestyle, poor diet, and pollution especially in the urban areas, the news of low cost of these hair transplant treatments is some of the reasons for the increasing demand for the procedure. In some cases, cost as low as 30,000 for the whole treatment is a piece of very welcome news for the younger generations.

Although FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the most advanced and popular technology, there are a few other types of hair transplantation in India. The FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) technique and the strip harvesting method being two of them. The FUE hair treatment cost in India is comparatively low since it is a very popular and common technique that is opted for by both patients and surgeons.

Among the three types of procedures that are available for treatment in India, the FUT or the strip procedure can cost between Rs.40,000 and Rs.50,000. The second procedure, that is, the FUE costs around Rs. 30,000 and above. It is slower, less painful, and presently a very popular technique.

The third and most advanced technology available is the DHI procedure. The DHI hair treatment cost in India is around Rs. 2 lakhs to Rs. 5 lakhs. Although the newspapers and magazines nowadays are filled with advertisements of cheap hair transplant offers, surgeons recommend against blindly trusting them.

Thus, the greater the extent of baldness diagnosed, the more will be the number of grafts required the and higher the cost estimated.
• Surgeon (s) performing the procedure: The number of surgeons involved in the procedure and their expertise affect the cost of the procedure to a great extent. Besides, the surgeons with higher expertise and a wider range of fieldwork have higher fees, which incurs the greater expenditure.

Clinics: Clinics that are certified by the government are furnished with all sorts of advanced medical facilities. Such clinics are recognized for offering standard facilities and housing expert teams of surgeons, and thus, have a slightly higher package than the rest.

How To Choose A Hair Transplant Surgeon In India?

Like any other surgical procedure, the success of a hair transplant depends on the surgeon performing the procedure. Hair transplantation needs extreme precision as it affects the physical appearance of the candidate. Any misplaced graft or faulty or damaged transplantation will lead to the failure of the entire procedure and thus, additional hassle and complexity for the candidate. In a country like India where the clinics and multispecialty hospitals are constantly striving towards helping the candidates with the best of the treatment facilities, finding the right surgeon is not a humongous task.

Success Rate of Hair Transplantation in India

Any cosmetic surgery is a huge and a major life-changing decision for anyone opting for it, the same applies to cosmetic treatments such as hair transplants. Although the average hair transplant success rate is around 98 percent, as reported by the best hair transplant surgeons in India, it is always a wise move to know about the factors that are instrumental behind a hair transplant success rate:

• Evaluating the procedure is the key to the success of a hair transplant treatment. Choosing the right surgeon who answers all your transplant-related questions satisfactorily, informs you about the myths and facts, provides you with an honest and clear picture, and is well known in his field is the wisest thing to do.
• Knowing the main objective of the surgery is another important factor that needs to be very clear right from the beginning. Different patients walk in with different expectations hence a good surgeon will ask and be well aware of your objective before performing the surgery.
• Although the thumb rule is to evaluate the quantity and quality of hair growth after a year to determine the success of the procedure, it would be completely unfair to say that the surgeon is solely responsible for the success. It is important for the patients to carefully follow the instructions and the care routines suggested to them after the treatment to ensure success in the treatment.
• The last but the most important thing that determines the success rate of a particular hair transplant treatment is how the patient feels about themselves after the procedure is complete. The success of a particular transplant is evaluated based on the confidence and self-esteem boost of a patient after the transplant.

On the careful evaluation of all the factors including the choice of surgeon and sorting clinics based on the hair transplantation cost in India, one must take such a huge and life-altering decision, so that at the end of the day it is all worth the money, energy and time that have been invested due to the course of treatment.

What Is The Recovery Process Post Hair Transplant In India?

The recovery process is pretty simple for the FUE hair transplant in India as there are no stitches involved in the transplantation process. The recovery involves letting the site of the hair transplant and the site of the origin of the follicles heal. These are wrapped in protective bandages by the doctors after the procedure. The doctor will tell the patient to come on a particular day to get the bandages removed so that the evaluation of the condition of the hair transplant can be done. The doctor will also prescribe some pain killers to relieve any pain after the hair transplant procedure. Antibiotics will also be prescribed so that the sites of transplant and the origin site do not get any type of infection. Swelling is a common side effect of the FUE hair transplant in India and can be easily managed by a few anti-inflammatory pills that the surgeon will prescribe. A typical person can once again resume their daily activities after a few days of the procedure. The transplanted hair will typically fall out in about two or three weeks after the surgery. This is normal, and this process allows the new hair to grow.

Doctors may also prescribe a certain kind of special medication to patients to strengthen hair growth in their bodies. These medicines will also help in controlling the hair fall in later stages of life and bring a confident look to the personality of the patient.
