Hair transplant is a surgical procedure which covers the bald areas of the scalp by patient’s own hair. In this surgery, hair follicles are taken out from the back of the scalp, or beard and planted in the bald areas of the scalp. Slowly, these roots sprout new and naturally growing hair. It is a minimally invasive day care procedure but need to be done in sterile set up.

Hair transplant is done under local anaesthesia. Needle prick pain gives very mild discomfort. Patient is allowed to take breaks in between the procedure and analgesic injections are given to reduce overall pain.

It leaves a minor scar and, if the surgery is done properly, that is not visible to the naked eye. The procedure is safe and result-oriented under experienced hands with good technology/infrastructure.
