What Is a Hair Transplant and How Does It Work?

A hair transplant is a physician-performed surgical procedure that transplants viable hair follicles from DHT-resistant areas of the scalp into thinning or balding regions. These follicles retain their resistance to hormone-induced shedding after relocation, allowing for natural and permanent hair regrowth.

Dr. Sharma determines whether FUE or FUT is more appropriate based on scalp condition, donor supply, and long-term goals. All grafts are harvested and placed by hand to protect follicle viability and ensure natural emergence.

Comparing Surgical and Non-Surgical Hair Restoration Options

Hair Transplant Surgery (FUE/FUT)

This surgical procedure involves transplanting DHT-resistant hair follicles into areas of the scalp that are experiencing balding. The key advantage of this method is that it enables permanent regrowth of hair that closely resembles the natural characteristics of the individual’s original hair. This treatment is especially suitable for restoring hair density in regions where there is total hair loss, providing a long-term solution for individuals seeking to regain a fuller appearance.

Non-Surgical Treatments (Finasteride, Minoxidil, PRP)

These treatments can be beneficial for preserving existing hair and slowing down the progression of hair loss. While they may help maintain the hair that is still present, it is important to note that they cannot regenerate hair follicles in completely bald areas. The effectiveness of these treatments can vary significantly from person to person, and they are generally considered to be supportive therapies rather than replacements for surgical procedures.
