A Fuller Hairline & Renewed Confidence: The Inspiring Story of MD. Zaid Asraf
In October 2022, one of our clients, Md. Zaid Asraf reached out to us with a troubling concern. At just 23, Zaid began experiencing significant hair loss, which took a toll on his confidence and transformed his once easygoing, outgoing personality into one that was withdrawn and reserved. His hair loss was particularly noticeable at the front of his hairline, where thinning and receding had become evident.
At such a young age, hair loss could be the result of a variety of factors. Genetics, hormonal changes, stress, lifestyle changes, and medications or health conditions are the most common. In October 2022, Zaid approached DHI for the first time to learn how to manage his hair loss and improve his confidence.
He was guided by our esteemed team member, Dr. Rashmi, whose expertise and understanding were instrumental in Zaid’s journey. Dr Rashmi recommended a hair transplant procedure for Zaid, whose hair follicles had shrunk towards the front of his hairline. This decision marked the beginning of Zaid’s smooth and streamlined journey toward the transplant surgery.
Two weeks before the procedure, our team of experts and Zaid decided on the number of follicles to transplant. To give our client the most natural results possible, 5,310 follicles were agreed on for transplant. The procedure itself, from here on, was completely seamless. In fact, after the surgery, Zaid expressed that the only thing he felt was the anesthesia injections. Besides that, Zaid enthusiastically talks about how he did not feel any pain or discomfort following the procedure and enjoyed watching movies the entire time!
Zaid was walked through the procedure to ensure he knew every part. We maintain complete hygiene throughout our procedures; only surgeons touch the patient’s scalp. We were determined to provide full support and comfort while preventing infections and contamination. The entire procedure was meticulously carried out by a team of highly skilled medical doctors and experienced surgeons, ensuring Zaid received exceptional medical care and unparalleled quality at every step of his treatment, instilling a sense of security in him and our potential clients.
Now, Zaid is thrilled with his results. His surgeons determined where his hairline should be set and gave him the best hair transplant with natural, long-lasting, and pain-free results. To find out more about our client’s journey, watch his interview on YouTube.

Key questions you should ask before choosing your hair loss solution
1. Who will perform the procedure?
In most clinics, procedures are performed by technicians only. The clinic owners are plastic surgeons and dermatologists who are mainly involved in sales and marketing. Their involvement in the actual procedure is very limited. You should go to a clinic where a doctor performs the entire procedure himself/herself, not through a technician.
It is also important to check if the clinic/doctor specializes in hair transplants or offers other aesthetic treatments, such as Botox. A better choice would be to go for a super specialist doctor.
2. Is your doctor suitably trained and certified? Do they follow standard and accredited protocols?
In most cases, doctors learn hair transplants from other doctors without any evaluation or certification process. This can take years for them to learn the intricacies of hair transplants. Further, most doctors do not follow any written protocols and perform procedures based on personal preferences, leading to sub-optimal results.
Please check if the doctor performing the procedure has training and accreditation from a reputed institute. Very importantly, personally verify if the clinic has written protocols for all stages of the hair transplant procedure, including detailed safety protocols.
3. What is the experience of the clinic/doctor you are going to?
Hair transplant is a relatively new area of practice, which has lured many doctors to leave their practice in the field of their expertise and move towards hair transplants only in last 3-5 years. Many clinics may not have the experience, or protocols or the necessary expertise to handle hair transplant cases. Please ensure that the clinic has been established for many years and has a verifiable reputation. Do not just rely on what they claim.
4. How does the clinic ensure the quality of your result?
Research shows that on an average only half of the implanted hair may grow in certain clinics without proper experience. This is because the clinic may not have access to latest techniques, instruments, tools, protocols etc. Please stay away from freelancers who work in many clinics on case-by-case basis. They are most likely to spoil your case as they may care least for the patient. Sometimes the doctor may be very qualified or experienced but past his prime to be able to give good results.
Do check if the work done by the doctor is supervised by someone. Does the doctor follow any certification, assessment, and quality monitoring process. It is not advised to go to a clinic where there is only one doctor whose work goes unsupervised.
Good results can only come with right technique, instruments, tools, protocols, training, assessment, and quality control.
5. How do you ensure your safety during and after the hair transplant procedure?
Generally, hair transplant is a safe process and cannot lead to severe risks. However, sometimes there could be scalp infections or even more severe conditions if the correct safety protocols are not followed. This risk is very high when procedure is performed by technicians or inexperienced doctors.
You are advised to ask relevant questions, and see the written safety protocols at the clinic.
Please see the procedure room and ask yourself if you feel confident of the safety protocols.
6. Would you go for a hair transplant without a proper evaluation of your alopecia?
The answer is obviously No. There are 10 kinds of alopecia. Unless a proper diagnosis is carried out, the correct treatment cannot be recommended. Many clinics recommend hair transplants without doing a proper diagnosis. They also may not conduct a mathematical count of the donor and recipient areas to give a correct assessment of the hair transplant requirement and feasibility. Please invest time and effort during your diagnosis and evaluate the doctor on proper diagnosis of dermatological examination, precise hair count of donor and recipient area and computerized alopecia test. This results in a comprehensive lifetime treatment plan and best results for your hair loss problem.
7. Should price play a role in your decision to choose a hair transplant clinic or doctor?
Yes of course, price is indeed a very important criterion. But you should not choose a clinic or doctor purely on the cost. Many doctors are able to reduce their costs significantly, by reusing the instruments, compromising on safety standards, using technicians to do the procedures, etc. Quality and Safety come at a price. This is your investment in your safety and great-looking results for life. So, choose wisely.
1. Can hair transplants be done on men and women?
Yes, hair transplants can be done on men and women. The ideal candidates are men or women with pattern baldness and sufficient donor hair on the backs of the heads.
2. How does the DHI procedure work?
In the DHITM procedure, hair follicles are extracted from the donor region and implanted directly onto the desired area.
