Process of Hair Transplant Surgery

Checkout the steps of hair transplant surgery in Delhi at Langersculpt clinic:

Consultation & assessment of scalp

The first step of hair transplant is a detailed consultation with an experienced dermatologist who specialises in hair surgery. The doctor examines density and volume of your hair, and analyses of causes of hair loss and the type of baldness.

Local Anesthesia

After doctor suggests type of treatment, the patient is given local anesthesia on the day of treatment, to ensure surgery is painless. The anesthesia offers numbness to donor area (extraction of hair follicles) and area of implantation.

Extraction of hair

The surgeon extracts hair follicles from donor areas of hair, using suitable techniques like FUE or FUT, depending upon the condition of the patient's scalp.

Graft preparation

The extracted hair follicles from donor sites are separated for surgical steps, carefully examined for any unwanted structures to be removed, and kept in a sterile solution.

Preparation for Implantation of grafts

Hair transplant doctor transplants extracted hair into the recipient area carefully so that it’s perfectly rooted in scalp and looks natural around scalp.

The procedure typically takes 4–8 hours, depending on the number of grafts.

What happens after hair transplant surgery?

Scalp soreness, tiny scabs around implanted grafts, and redness occur immediately after surgery and remain for 7-10 days. Within 2-4 weeks, you will observe that transplanted hair begins to fall out. New growth appears within 2-3 months of surgery.
