Hair loss is a common concern that affects millions of people worldwide. If you’re considering a hair transplant, understanding the procedure step by step is essential to make informed decisions and achieve natural, long-lasting results. At HTP Pune, our expert team led by Dr. Mohan Nalawade, a board-certified dermatologist with 23+ years of experience, specializes in advanced hair restoration techniques like FUE, DHI, and PRP therapy to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
Step 1: Initial Consultation with a Hair Transplant Expert
The journey begins with a personalized consultation. Your hair transplant surgeon will:
- Evaluate your scalp, hair density, and hair loss pattern
- Discuss your medical history and expectations
- Recommend the most suitable procedure (FUE or DHI)
This step ensures a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Step 2: Scalp Preparation and Local Anesthesia
On the day of the procedure:
- The scalp is thoroughly cleaned
- Local anesthesia is applied to ensure a painless experience
- Donor and recipient areas are prepared for follicle extraction and implantation
Step 3: Hair Follicle Extraction
Depending on the technique:
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Individual hair follicles are carefully removed from the donor area using micro-punch tools.
- DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): Follicles are extracted and immediately implanted with a specialized implanter for precision placement.
Step 4: Recipient Area Preparation
Tiny incisions are made in the thinning or bald areas of the scalp, carefully aligning with the natural hair growth direction. This ensures a natural hairline and optimal hair density.
Step 5: Hair Follicle Implantation
Extracted follicles are meticulously implanted in the prepared scalp area. Each follicle placement is planned to mimic natural hair patterns, giving you a seamless, realistic result.
Step 6: Post-Procedure Care
After the transplant, patients receive detailed post-op instructions including:
- How to wash and care for the scalp
- Medications to prevent infection and promote healing
- Avoiding strenuous activity for a few days
Step 7: Hair Growth Timeline
- Initial shedding of transplanted hair is normal within the first few weeks
- New hair growth begins within 3–4 months
- Full results are typically visible within 9–12 months
