Before Considering Hair Transplantation - Let's Understand the microanatomy of Hair
Hair has two parts – a living part under the skin extending into the dermis known as follicle and a non-living keratinised part above the skin called hair shaft. The lower part of the follicle known as the bulb is very vital as it’s the one involved with regeneration and most of the stem cells are located there. Hence while implanting, holding the graft above or beside the bulb is important to ensure sustenance of regenerative potential.
The factors leading to hair loss could stem from internal/external factors.
Internal Factors
Factors which internally lead to deficient hair growth are iron deficiency, calcium deficiency, zinc deficiency, general debility, anaemia, hypothyroidism, deficiency of the fat soluble vitamins, thyroid problems, insulin resistance, metabolic disorders like gout and PCOD, prolonged illness, emotional turmoil following surgery and individuals with seborrheic scalp.
External Factors
Lifestyle and environmental factors do influence the hair health and growth cycle. The common causes are smoking including passive smoking, stress, alcohol intake, lack of sleep, crash dieting, fad diets, high-protein diet, exposure to extremes of heat or cold, less intake of fluids, poor scalp hygiene, dust, pollution, fumes and exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals.
New & Modern concepts of Hair transplantation at FMS: The Best Hair Transplant Clinic
We practice the Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or ‘strip technique’ as well as ‘micropunch method’ or Follicular unit extraction(FUE) technique which are popular techniques of hair transplantation.
The principle behind hair transplantation is that, hair grows on the back and sides of the scalp tends to be permanent in most of the individuals which are resistant to androgenic alopecia and are used to implant into the frontal or vertex area which will continue to grow as long as occipital hair grow.
Hair transplant surgery demands good planning, great surgical skill and good aesthetic sense on the part of the clinician, as hairs grow in specific direction and angulations.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) Hair Transplant Procedure
FUT is also called strip method or stitch method. It’s a gold standard method in hair transplant procedures till date though it’s an old method.
This includes harvesting a strip of the skin layer from the donor area usually from the back (occipital) area of the scalp, the so-called safe zone for harvesting. Strip measurements are variable with 30 cm being the maximum length and 1–2 cm width depending on skin laxity of the patient.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Hair Transplant Procedure
In this technique, we extract the individual follicles, one graft at a time with the help of small punches. Also known as no stitch and no cut method, it’s minimally invasive procedure compared to the FUT. The advent of FUE has expanded the scope of harvesting follicles from other sites of the body like beard, chest hair etc. Most of the Indian skin is favourable for FUE procedure because of thicker skin types.
Combi Technique:
This is a combination of FUT and FUE in a single session. Combi technique is recommended when we need more grafts as in anything over and above 3500 follicular units in a single session. Only an experienced surgeon and a well-trained team can execute this procedure.
FAQs About Hair Transplantation

When do you see hair Regrowth after transplantation?
After 11–20 days your new implanted hair will shed. Now the new follicles are in its dormant (sleeping) stage. There will be a lag phase before hair growth is initiated. Complete growth can be seen between 6-9 months and hair continue to grow until 12–14 months.
Does the hair in the donor area grow back?
Because the hair follicles are fully extracted, the individual hairs won’t technically grow back. However, the surgeon will be extracting individual hair follicles from the denser areas of the donor site; not patches of hair. So it makes it impossible to notice the removed hair follicles over time.
Can I undergo hair transplantion more than once ?
There is no limit on the number of times a person can undergo hair transplantation. Rather, the limit is on the total number of grafts.

Depending on the technique of hair transplantion , number of grafts, quality of scalp, surgery may take around 6-10 hours. Some times sessions can be placed on 2 consecutive days.
