Hair transplant in Delhi: Is It a Better Choice?


Nowadays, increased prevalence of hair fall and baldness, even in the patients in their 20s is commonly. Although, the occurrence of hair fall is seen in both men and women, it is more common in male patients as compared to females. This issue was more prevalent in older individuals previously. This change can be attributed to lifestyle and environmental changes. As seen globally, the incidence of hair loss has also skyrocketed in the capital city of India, Delhi.


Reasons for Increased Prevalence of Hair Loss in Delhi:

Increased air pollution: The air pollution has increased substantially from last few decades. Delhi has been ranked as one of the top cities with worst air pollution. With worsening of air pollution, the occurrence of hair fall in young individuals has risen steeply.

 Modern lifestyle changes: Lifestyle changes such as late night work shifts, unusual sleeping hours, eating junk food, decreased physical activity, etc. is quite common in youngsters nowadays. These changes pose adverse influence on the overall health of the individuals, along with augmented rate of hair fall.

Nutrients deficient diet: Younger generations are more inclined to fast foods and junk foods these days. Because of decreased intake of nutrients in the body, hair follicles have been weakened resulting in ultimate death of the follicles and hair fall.

Increased stress level: Stress is a common problem in modern life. Everyone from a businessman to a corporate worker faces intense stress on a daily basis. This stressful life style has lead to high prevalence of hair fall at younger ages.

Because hair loss is commonly correlated with aging and unaesthetic looks, it has forced younger individuals to explore various hair loss treatments. From various available treatments for hair loss, hair transplant is the only treatment providing high success rate and permanent solution to hair loss.  This method of hair restoration has been widely used in Delhi from past two decades.

Hair transplant techniques available in Delhi:

The common hair transplant methods used worldwide are FUE and FUT. Both the techniques have their respective advantages and disadvantages.  Let’s discuss about these techniques of hair transplant in brief. 

FUT Hair Transplant
It is a highly effective hair restoration technique where a strip of hairs is excised from donor site and transplanted to the area of baldness. Before transplanting the hairs to the recipient area, hair follicles are separated in to individual grafts under microscope by the technicians. The follicles implanted on the recipient site will continue to grow naturally, if implanted with high precision and skill. This method has benefit of covering large bald regions in a single session. However, a linear scar at the donor site is remained after the procedure.

FUE Hair Transplant
This is a latest technique to harvest hair follicles individually from the donor site. The harvested hair follicles are successfully implanted on the recipient sites by the surgeon. This technique is scar free and minimally invasive. The patient can wear short hair after this treatment. The patient can go back to his usual life and work on the very next day only.

FUT and FUE combined treatment
In patients with large areas of hair loss, a combined technique of FUE and FUT is used to allow us to utilise the donor area as efficiently as possible.

Why to select Delhi as your destination for hair transplant

The cost of hair transplant depends on number of factors such as severity of baldness, technique followed for hair loss, experience of the surgeon and facilities provided by the center. However, the average cost of one hair graft in Delhi ranges from INR 30-100. This cost of hair transplant is fairly cheaper as compared other countries where average cost is approximately 3-4 times more than cost in Delhi.

Quality treatment from skilled and experienced plastic surgeons
A successful hair transplant procedure requires combination of surgical and artistic skills with years of experience. A normal surgeon cannot perform the surgery efficiently. For high success rate with this technique sensitive procedure, a plastic and aesthetic surgeon should perform the surgery. In Delhi, a number of plastic surgeons who work extensively on hair transplant surgery are working with established hair transplant centres. They are active members of international societies such as ISHRS and ISAPS. Their high success rate and accolades from previous patients can be seen with highly positive reviews from online forums dedicated to hair transplant surgery such as hairtransplantnetwork.com, whatclinic.com and realself.com.

Availability of latest technology
Hair transplant centres available in Delhi are equipped with latest technological advancements. World class hair transplant is provided to the patients. They follow international standard sterilisation protocols for maintaining cleanliness at the centres, and use surgical instruments standardised by international communities.

Painless and scar less procedure available
Painless and scar less hair transplant procedure is provided by few surgeons in Delhi. Various Bollywood celebrities seek hair transplant from them. They have been performing hair transplant surgery on patients on daily basis and have mastered the technique of painless and scar less procedure. With respect to the experience in number patients, hair transplant surgeons of Delhi are more accomplished as compared to surgeons from western countries.

How to select best hair transplant center in Delhi?
Besides increasing number of patients of hair loss in Delhi, the count of hair transplant centres has risen steeply in the capital city as well. There are plenty of hair transplant centres claiming to be the best. However, in reality there are handful of clinics available in Delhi which is equipped to provide quality treatment. 

You can follow key points given below to select best hair transplant center in Delhi.
1. Surgery should be performed by a qualified aesthetic and plastic surgeon only. The doctors must be member of The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and The International Society of Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).
2. The hair transplant clinic as well as the surgeon should be certified from the national organisations.
3. Medical staff involved in pre, post and intraoperative care should be experienced and skilled.
4. The previous patients should be highly satisfied from the doctor’s treatment and services.

It is my high recommendation for everyone with hair loss at any age to consider undergoing hair transplant procedure in Delhi as experienced surgeons provide world class treatment using latest techniques and technologies. Low cost of the procedure is just topping on the cake.

The hair loss problem can be rising due to a number of factors both internally and externally. There is one reason that is only addressed by the hair transplant procedure is the Androgenic alopecia or the genetic baldness. The patient suffering from the genetic or hereditary hair loss occurs due to the combined effect of the genes and hormone. The hair transplant is the most effective solution to address the baldness permanently as the roots are taken out from the safe or the DHT-resistant part of the scalp, i.e., the occipital and parietal part of the scalp.

The Severe Hair Thinning, Pattern Hair Loss and the Wider Forehead in Women:
The hair loss problem in women has many reasons and so the solution is diversified. However, the treatment ranges from one option to another and classified into 3 categories, i.e., the medications, therapy, and the surgical option. The treatment option widely depends on the reason and the type of hair loss that must be evaluated rightly with the expert guidance of the hair transplant surgeon. The medications are allowed when the reason for the loss is temporary and there’s an effect of the hormonal change, pregnancy or menopause. The therapy like PRP is recommended when a female patient facing severe hair thinning and do not possess the eligibility criteria to receive the hair restoration procedure. The surgical option is the final option to treat the pattern baldness as a permanent cure to the unpleasing hair loss problem.

Why Hair Loss Occurs?
There are a multiple reasons for causing the hair loss in women in which most common cause is the effect of hormones. The genes and hormonal effect are termed as the Androgenic alopecia and apart from this; the auto-immune caused hair loss is termed as the Alopecia areata. The temporary cause of hair loss includes the pregnancy, thyroid imbalance, chemotherapy or particular medication.

The Hair Thinning Problem in Women: -
The hair thinning problem in women is caused by the Androgenic alopecia or thyroid problems that can be addressed with certain medications like Minoxidil. This drug comes in a topical option and can be continued for treating the issue of Alopecia areata (spot baldness) or genetic baldness. This medication can be used for both men and women. The women pattern baldness is majorly seen with the hair thinning problem as the complete picture of total baldness doesn’t occur in women.

The Female Pattern Baldness on Ludwig Scale: -
The Ludwig scale is used to measure the extent of hair loss in females. This scale has 3 categories that are measured with the increasing extent of hair loss. The type-I of hair loss on the Ludwig scale define the early thinning of hair that can be easily camouflaged. It is the very primary stage of pattern hair loss that can be treated with the proper medicines.

The type-II loss is a moderate stage that may or may not need the hair transplant procedure. The type-II loss can be characterized by the noticeable decrease in volume and widening the gap between the mid-line areas.

The type-III state of hair loss on the Ludwig scale is characterized by the extreme thinning of hair, which is easily visible and often associated with the generalized thinning.



The Surgical Method to treat Female Pattern Baldness: -
The hair transplant procedure is all allowed to treat the pattern hair loss in women, but choosing the right technique has a great importance in the procedure that affects the outcomes significantly. The FUT technique of the hair transplant is mostly accepted in the case of the female as it doesn’t need head-shaving as the FUE method of restoration needed. The hair restoration is the best option to solve the issue of wider forehead in women because of the regrowth property of hair transplant procedure.

The Procedure Method of FUT/Strip method of the surgery: -
Likewise, the FUT technique in men, the method of the strip harvesting is all same in case of women. The strip is excised from the safe donor part of the scalp that is a DHT-sensitive and further transplanted into the hair loss affected areas. The regrowth of hair takes the normal process and accept the hair growth cycle. The regeneration of hair root started after a minor shedding phase and the transplanted roots adopt the natural characteristic of hair roots. However, the roots grow normally and maintain the natural tendency to receive length, colour, calibre, and texture.

The PRP Session: -
The PRP session or the platelet-rich plasma injection is also recommended to treat the hair loss issue in women. The PRP injection is given into the hair loss affected areas of the scalp by taking the fresh blood from the patient’s own body part. It promotes the process of faster healing as well as the growth of hair. It can also be allowed with the hair transplant procedure in order to make the treatment a Bio-effective.
So, it is good to attend the primary consultation with your Doctor to know about the best cure of your problem as the surgical restoration needs a proper evaluation in order to meet the aesthetic goal of the surgery.
