Due to hectic and stressful lifestyles, many people face hair loss problems worldwide. And hair transplant has been a trustworthy and permanent solution to this problem. A Hair Transplant is an invasive treatment where hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and implanted into the bald spot.

India’s healthcare and medical system are highly trendy across the globe. Millions of tourists visit India each year, and not everyone intends to explore its culture and diversity. India receives a vast number of medical tourists too. And recently, we have seen an aggressive increase in the number of medical tourists looking for hair transplant treatment in India. The most popular and advanced technique, DHI – Direct hair implantation for hair transplant treatment, is also available in the US, Europe, Australia, Latin America, UAE, and India. The DHI clinics across the globe follow the same protocols, processes, and systems. In India, hair transplant treatment is provided at affordable services by highly qualified surgeons, world-class facilities, and advanced techniques.

Why is hair transplant in India popular?

Hair Transplant services are offered worldwide, but people prefer getting it done in India because of the high graft survival rate. Other factors that make hair transplants in India the best are:

Qualified and Experienced Surgeons: Indian surgeons are highly demanded when getting a hair transplant. They are precisely qualified and have access to world-class hair transplant techniques. 

There are many great options in India for getting a hair transplant. People can choose the best clinic depending on the surgeon’s experience, the patient’s testimonial, and the techniques they use for hair transplant treatment. For example, the Direct Hair Transplant (DHI) is the most advance and most effective technique practiced at DHI India. The DHI surgeons use modern and patented single-use instruments to perform hair transplants, ensuring the highest graft survival rate.

Quality facilities: Indian hospitality and healthcare system is up-to-the-minute. They make the patients comfortable and offer them the best possible facilities. Hair transplant in India is also associated with quality services, such as hair loss diagnosis, constant assistance, personalized hair transplant treatment plans, and pre & post-hair transplant care. Also, all this is offered at a fair price, which gives attention to the people towards India the most.

Cost: The cost of hair transplants in the western world is usually remarkably high, almost five times higher compared to India’s treatment cost. Also, there is no guarantee of getting good quality services after paying too much. As most medical insurance companies consider hair transplant a cosmetic procedure and do not cover it in insurance, choosing ‘any’ clinic, low-grade technique, or old technique at a low price could be risky. On the other hand, In India, the exchange rate and overall cost of the procedure are favorable. Therefore, many hair transplant clinics in India use the best techniques, and experienced surgeons perform the overall process. As a result, they ensure the best results while not sacrificing the function. This way, people can get quality services within their budget.

Availability of latest techniques:  Hair transplant treatment in India is performed using different techniques. It gives various options to people to choose from various techniques. However, the three most common hair transplant techniques are known by everyone, looking for hair transplant treatment. The oldest technique is FUT, then FUE and the most advanced technique is DHI – Direct Hair Implantation Technique.

The FUE and FUT were the most common techniques in the past. However, they had some drawbacks, like marks, pain, holes, and stitches. To solve this problem, DHI launched – Direct Hair Implantation Technique. DHI is a precise and painless method performed using a certified technique and patented tools by specialized DHI surgeons. The DHI technique is only available in authorized DHI clinics in India and across the globe.

A hair transplant is a significant step in life as it helps you get the desired appearance and increase your self-esteem. Therefore, you cannot take a risk and must choose India’s best hair transplant technique.

The hair transplant procedure from the DHI technique is painless, scar free, and has no downtime and that allows hair follicles to grow naturally with maximum density. Here, the DHI surgeon shaves the head, applies local anesthesia, and extracts hair follicles from the donor area using a fine-tip patented tool. The extracted hair follicles are loaded into the pen-shaped device and implanted into the bald spot. Then the antibiotic cream and bandages are applied to the donor site.

The specialized pen-shaped patented tool, DHI Implanter, is used throughout the procedure to implant and extract hair follicles. It gives surgeons complete control of direction, depth, and angle during the surgery and helps them deliver natural results.

The procedure takes about 8 hours to complete, but the exact time depends on the number of hair follicles transplanted. And it can take between 12 to 18 months to show the full results of the hair transplant surgery.

The DHI technique can be performed on anyone with a hair loss problem, regardless of age, gender, hair diameter, and hair color. No stitches, scarring, pain, and reception incisions are involved in this technique. Also, the recovery time is short and offers a maximum survival rate of hair follicles, i.e., more than 97%.

7 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.
