How long does a hair transplant take to grow?

Hair transplant growth is a gradual process. The newly transplanted hairs typically shed within the first 2-4 weeks (this is normal). New growth begins around month 3-4. At 6 months, you'll see about 50% of the result, and full density is achieved between 12 to 18 months.

Is a hair transplant painful?

The only uncomfortable part of the procedure is the initial administration of local anesthesia (the ring block). Once the scalp is numb, the procedure itself is virtually painless. Many patients comfortably watch movies on their phones or sleep during the extraction and implantation phases.

Will people know I had a hair transplant?

Initially, there will be scabbing and redness for about 7-10 days. Once the scabs fall off, the scalp may look slightly pink. With Dr. Sumit's focus on natural hairline design—using single-hair follicles at the very front and avoiding straight 'doll-head' lines—the final result will look completely natural and undetectable.

Can I wear a turban or helmet after a hair transplant?

Loose caps can be worn after 3 days. Helmets and turbans should be avoided for 3-4 weeks to avoid traction on the new grafts.

What determines the cost of a hair transplant?

We value per-graft viability. Our packages are comprehensive and include the procedure, hospital environment, and follow-up PRP sessions. Number of Grafts (FUE) and Hairline Design complexity are the primary factors.

Advanced FUE & DHT Techniques for Natural Hair Restoration

Hair loss can significantly impact self-esteem. Dr. Sumit Singh Gautam offers state-of-the-art Hair Transplant services in Chandigarh, utilizing advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Direct Hair Transplantation (DHT) methods to ensure maximum graft survival and density.

Medical Deep Dive: The Visualist Approach to Hairlines

Designing a hairline is art. It requires understanding facial proportions, age-appropriate recession, and natural directionality.

Technique (FUE/DHT): We utilize <0.8mm punches to minimize donor scarring. The DHT method involves simultaneous extraction and implantation, reducing the time follicles spend outside the body (ischemia time) and boosting survival rates closer to 100%.

Surgeon-Led: Dr. Sumit is personally involved in the slit creation (channeling) phase, determining the angle and density. This prevents the "doll head" look or unnatural straight lines often seen in technician-run clinics.

Local Context: Chandigarians & Hair

Given the water quality and environmental factors in the Tricity, we often see specific patterns of hair loss.

Water Hardness: We advise patients on post-transplant washing protocols using filtered water to prevent calcification on the new grafts.

Follow-up: Being in Sector 34, we offer easy ongoing PRP sessions to maintain native hair density.
