Pre-Operative Instructions

Hair Transplants can be a great way to boost confidence, feel less self-conscious, and create a happy disposition. Before considering the procedure, here are some key aspects you should know:

FUE vs. FUT

There are two main types of hair transplant procedures: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). FUE is a newer method that involves individual hair follicle extraction, while FUT involves removing a strip of skin and hair for transplantation.

• Cost: The procedure starts at Rs. 50,000, depending on clinic credibility and location.
• Healing Time: The healing process usually takes around three days.
• Pain Factor: Local anesthesia minimizes pain during the procedure.
• Scarring: Minimal to zero scarring with modern techniques.
• Permanence: Results are 95% permanent, visible after 10 months.
• Precautions: Wearing a bandage overnight to secure grafts.
• Procedure Length: A typical session lasts a full day.
• Eligibility: Not recommended for children or those with pre-existing medical conditions.
