Androgenetic Alopecia is a genetic hair loss condition that might affect men and women across age-groups. Additional factors like excessive exposure to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun and pollution, along with constant stress and junk food, can escalate the condition, although temporarily. Even when several other off-the-counter products claim to solve the same, most of them are temporary, and also have side-effects because of the presence of chemicals. The one surefire way you can solve this condition and get your hair back, permanently, is by undergoing surgery by the best hair transplant doctor.
Hair transplant under well-trained, qualified, and experienced doctors ensures that you build your confidence level and hide the balding or thinning you are suffering from.
This method includes taking healthy hair follicles from the safe donor area (the back of the head) and then implanting them to the recipient (balding) area. Through this minimally invasive procedure, the grafts that contain hair follicles resistant to balding are chosen to be transplanted. Hair transplantation can also be chosen to restore beard hair, eyelashes, pubic hair, eyebrows, and even chest hair. You may want to fill in scars caused by surgeries such as face-lifts, botched up hair transplantation, or accidents with the procedure as well.
Hair is known to grow naturally in groups of one to four and thus, the modern techniques transplant and harvest the follicular units in their natural groups.

Hair harvesting is divided primarily in two techniques – Linear Excision Method and Follicular Unit Excision. At Saraswat Hospital, all of such hair restoration procedures are performed by the best hair transplant surgeons certified by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS)
– Dr Satya Saraswat and Dr Preeti Saraswat.
Linear Excision Method: Previously known as Follicular Unit Transplantation and Strip Surgery, this technique takes a strip of healthy follicle bearing scalp from the back of the head. Following which the strip is slivered into tiny segments under a microscope to get the best follicles. These follicles are then implanted to the balding area!
Follicular Unit Excision: Previously known as Follicular Unit Extraction, as the name suggests, this technique uses a low-torque, low-RPM standard FUE machine to take out hair follicles straight from the head. The same is then implanted to the recipient site for best results.
The best hair transplant doctor would be able to choose which procedure is to be performed to get the best results for patient-specific conditions. Sometimes the surgeon also uses a combination (FUE+FUT) hair transplant method to get the desired outcome from the procedure. It is now important to note that the transplanted hair will shed after some time and then again grow back according to the normal growth rate of every patient.
Irrespective of the procedure the professional opt for, the patient would first be kept under local anaesthesia so that he or she does not feel any pain throughout the surgery. You also need to note that at least for two weeks before the surgery, the patient should not be consuming any medicines that might result in intra-operative bleeding. Smoking or alcohol of any kind should be completely stopped as well to ensure that the graft survival rate is high. The professional, if she or she may deem fit, might also prescribe post-op antibiotics to prevent graft infections.
After the surgery, a protective dressing is done on the head which is to be removed after around two days. The recovery time of this out-patient procedure is fast and there is no pain associated with it as well.
Within the initial six weeks of the procedure, you may end up seeing the shafts of the transplanted hair falling out and this ‘shedding’ period is common and there is nothing to worry about. Once this period is over, the bulbs would form new hair in its normal hair growth rate in two to three months. The growth will continue to thicken for around nine months more, resulting in complete hair restoration. The patient, please note, is also advised to wash the head in six days and is supposed to wear a soft cap to avoid exposure to the harsh UV rays of the sun till the hair growth begins.
