Hair Loss in India: Everything you need to know
Every individual enjoys having healthy and voluminous hair. The most common problem of hair loss is Male Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA). According to a study published by NCBI, AGA represents a quantitative phenotype with genetic influence. Moreover, statistics show that direct hair loss is more common in men than women of all ages. A recent report by the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgeons (ISHRS), suggests that 40% of men experience hair loss by the age of 35 years while65% men experience severe hair loss by the age of 60 years. Similarly, 40% of women experience hair loss by the age of 50 years. Having said that, the need for permanent and natural hair loss solution is high in demand in India.
Hair loss can occur due to various reasons such as medication, hormonal changes, heredity or medical conditions. It can affect anyone – men, women, and children. Typically, a normal individual shed an average of 100 hairs per day, but it is not noticeable as new hair growth occurs simultaneously.
FAQ
The transplanted hair is removed from one area of the body (donor site) and transferred to another (recipient site). The transferred tissue is not “rejected” as it is not a foreign tissue. The transplanted hair maintains its own characteristics; colour, texture, growth rate, and curl, after transplantation and regrowth. The vitality of the grafted follicle is maintained by the rich blood supply to the scalp. Originally many years ago, large circular grafts (commonly called ‘plugs’) containing 15-20 hairs were transplanted resulting in noticeably unnatural results. Over years, instruments and techniques have been developed that allow hair transplant surgeons to achieve truly natural results by transplanting large numbers of small grafts very close together. We have found that hair grows from the scalp in groups of one, two, or three (and rarely, four) hair follicles, called “follicular units.” We can transfer these groups of follicles, called “follicular unit grafts,” after eliminating the excess surrounding tissue.This allows the grafts to be placed closer together resulting in a denser and more natural result. A significant amount of artistry is also needed in order to recreate the natural patterns of hair growth.
The hair that is transplanted usually comes from the back of the head or the side of the head of you having the transplant. Unless you have an identical twin with extra hair to donate, you must serve as your own donor. The hair follicle that is transplanted, should it survive the transplant, will produce hair in its new location. The hair follicles will not divide and multiple to produce several hairs in its new location. So, in that sense, the hair that is transplanted will not “spread”.
Most people are surprised at how little pain there is during a hair transplant procedure today. Some discomfort is to be expected as the anesthetic is injected into the scalp. Once the skin is anesthetised, there is no pain. If the numbing medicine wears off during the course of the procedure, more is injected to re-anesthetise the area. Advances in local anesthetic and the way it is applied allow for a comfortable and relaxing procedure. Most patients watch movies, listen to music or nap during their procedure.
Despite the initial cost of the procedure, hair transplantation can be less expensive than an artificial hairpiece over the long run. Considering that the results are permanent, most people consider it a good investment in their future happiness. Different surgeons have different practice costs, which they must cover. The business of hair transplantation is relatively competitive and individual surgeons are not shy about stating what their procedure costs once they have seen what needs to be done in an individual patient. Without an examination, it is not possible to quote a price for a patient.
This depends on customer to customer. You can check the level of baldness and write to drmkhanna@hotmail.com with pictures.
Depending on the type of procedure you have done and the type of work you do, it is often possible to go back to work the next day. Your hair restoration surgeon will discuss this with you during the consultation.
No, the hair transplant does not leave tell-tale signs.
Since our own specialty is plastic surgery, we are somewhat prejudiced in favour of plastic surgeons. There are individuals with other specialty training backgrounds who do good hair transplant procedures. In general, we think that the plastic surgeon is more likely to be able to use mini grafts, tissue expansion, flap advancement, and scalp reduction techniques to accomplish your goals. Having many techniques available increases the likelihood of meeting your expectations.
The most common cause of hair loss is heredity. Men and women inherit the gene for hair loss from either or both parents. In men, the hormone dihydrotestosterone causes a gradual miniaturisation and eventual loss of hair follicles that are genetically susceptible. The mechanism of female pattern hair loss is not clearly known. The time of onset, extent, and rate of hair loss varies from person to person. Men and women exhibit hereditary hair loss differently. Severe illness, medications, malnutrition, or vitamin deficiency can accelerate this process. When applied incorrectly, permanent hair colour and chemical relaxers damage the hair and follicle to the extent that hair loss can be permanent. Causes of hair loss do not include wearing a hat, excessive shampooing, lack of blood flow, or clogged pores.

Today’s highly trained and up-to-date surgeons, using a combination of artistry and technology, can recreate hairlines and crown coverage in a manner that truly defies detection. Progressing beyond the old style ‘plug-type’ transplants has been possible using advanced techniques which allow the transplantation of large numbers of small grafts. An appreciation for the natural shape and patterns of hair growth allows surgeons to create wavy, randomised hairlines that look natural.
The post-operative course will depend on adherence to the instructions given after surgery. Small scabs will form on the scalp at the graft sites. Generally speaking, these scabs disappear in 4-10 days. Shampooing can be resumed 24 hours after surgery. The suture (stitch) used in the donor area is undetectable immediately after surgery as it is completely covered by your existing hair. Some surgeons use absorbable stitches which are dissolved by the body, other surgeons may use skin staples. If the suture is non-absorbable, an appointment will be made for the suture to be removed approximately one week after surgery. It is advisable to take at least two days off work after surgery. A baseball type cap can be worn any time after surgery. Patients should avoid strenuous physical activity for at least five days after surgery. Typically, the grafted hair will shed in 2-4 weeks. New growth will begin in 3-4 months and length will increase approximately by 1/2 inch per month.
Symptoms of Hair Loss

Understanding Hair Transplantation
Hair Transplantation (also known as hair transplants) is a surgical cosmetic procedure of moving individuals hair follicles from one body hair part to another. The surgery is used to treat hair loss. Males, most commonly suffer from pattern baldness.
It usually begins from the top of the forehead and the crown. However, in almost all the cases hair present at the side of both the ears and behind are mostly unaffected. In some cases, baldness occurs only at the front, but in some severe cases, it spreads and covers the entire crown. However, regardless of the severity of baldness, there will always be a patch of permanent hair, in the shape of a horseshoe, present at the sides and the back of the head. Hair fall does not occur in this area because these hair follicles are genetically resistant to the hormone dihydrotestosterone that is mainly responsible for hair fall. This region of permanent hair growth helps in your hair transplantation. As these hair strands withstand hair fall, they are transplanted to the bald areas. They grow and survive permanently, covering your bald patches. During the hair transplant surgery, the doctor removes the hair follicles from the ‘donor site’ and transfer from ‘recipient site'.
