| Hair transplantation is a surgical technique in which individual hair follicles are transplanted from a part of the body to another which is balding. The site from where the hair are taken is the donor site & where transplanted is the recipient site. IndiCure offers state-of-the-art hair implant technique called Follicular Transplant which is the most proven hair transplant technique today. |
| Besides scalp hair, the procedure can also be performed to restore hair of beard, moustache, eyebrows, eyelashes etc. |
| The procedure involves taking a strip of skin along with the hair follicles from the donor area (back or side of the scalp of the patient) and cutting them in single or multiple sets of grafts. Dependant on the growth and density of the hair in recipient site, follicles are grafted in multiple numbers. |
| Since the hair transplanted is one's own hair, it has the same genetic structure and the transplanted hair grow as fast as before and stay as long as that particular hair from the donor site area. |
 |
| Candidates |
| The procedure is generally indicated in the following conditions: |
- Loss of hair in front of the forehead or recession at the temple area
- More extensive hair loss on the top and crown area
- Thinning of the area of scalp
- Thinning eyebrows, beard or moustache
|
| Expected Results |
| Hair transplant procedure gives very gratifying results. One can expect to have thick hair at the balding areas within 8-12 months after the procedure, which are permanent. |
| Recovery |
| There is no recovery time/ downtime necessary after hair transplantation surgery . Stitches of donor site either get dissolved or can be removed after 10 days by any doctor near your place. The crusts sheds off on its own gradually somewhere between 3-4 weeks. |
| Most transplanted hair usually shed in about 3 weeks but the roots remain live and active under the skin and the new hair grow from them in 3-4 months time. |
| Time & Cost |
The hair normally starts to grow gradually around three months until ultimately taking on the exact thickness and characteristics of your other hair, which may take anywhere between 8 to 18 months.
Approximate, all inclusive cost of hair transplant starts from as low as $1 per follicle. It varies with the type of facility and the city you choose to get the procedure done. Also, different surgeons charge differently depending on their experience and expertise. |
