What to expect in week 1Post-surgery recovery
We are here to help you see just how easy it can be to overcome issues with thinning or balding hair. It is common for patients to have questions about the treatment process and anticipated recovery time after the surgery. Here is an Overview of What You Can Expect for Hair Transplant Recovery.
Learn about recoveryRedness after hair transplant
Your scalp is expected to be quite red or pink following your hair transplant procedure. The healing process requires inflammation and swelling at both the recipient site and donor area. Due to small amounts of bleeding around each individual incision it is also expected to scab up around the newly relocated follicles. This is all normal and part of recovery.

The techniques used today are effective in minimizing hair transplant scars. With any surgery scarring is unavoidable, however the techniques used today are effective in limiting the depth and visibility of these areas. Choosing a skilled surgeon is essential if you want to minimize scarring.
How we minimize scarringWhat is a graft?
A graft is a collection of hair follicles. During a hair transplant procedure, Dr. Sharma redistributes the follicles which can contain single or multiple hairs. During your hair transplant, we use a motorized micro punch to loosen and relocate each graft the desired area.

Protecting your hair follicles for the time between extraction and implantation is a crucial part of the hair transplant procedure. The individual hair is living tissue that must survive while being transferred from the donor site to the desired area of the scalp.
How we protect your hair folliclesIncisions
One of the most important factors for a successful and natural hair transplant result are the incisions. This portion of the surgery requires a great deal of control and precision. Using a very fine blade, Dr. Sharma creates thousands of incisions into the scalp from which each individual graft will be placed.
