Hair transplant is a surgical procedure designed to address hair loss by redistributing hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) to areas experiencing hair thinning or baldness. This meticulous process aims to achieve natural-looking results, restoring hair density and confidence.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT):
This involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area and dissecting it into individual follicular units for transplantation.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE):
Involves harvesting individual follicular units directly from the donor area, resulting in minimal scarring and a quicker recovery.
These methods cater to varying patient needs, providing effective and natural-looking hair restoration. In both cases, the patient is administered general anaesthesia to avoid discomfort.
Consider hair transplants when:
Persistent Hair Loss:
Despite trying non-surgical treatments, if hair loss persists, a transplant may be a more lasting solution.
Advanced Balding:
For individuals with advanced stages of balding, especially when traditional treatments show limited effectiveness.
Desire for Permanent Results:
If seeking a permanent solution to hair loss, transplanted hair is resistant to further loss.

For milder cases or complementary solutions, consider non-surgical options for hair loss, like laser therapy, mesotherapy, and stem cell therapy.

At Arra Aesthetics, one of Pune's top plastic surgery and hair transplant clinics, the cost of a hair transplant surgery ranges from Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 2,00,000 + 18% GST on average. EMI facilities are also available at Arra Aesthetics Clinic for those who wish to undergo hair transplant treatment.
Factors that determine the hair transplant cost in Pune are as follows:
Graft Quantity: The number of hair grafts required influences the overall cost.
Donor Hair Quality: The quality of available hair in the donor area contributes to the overall pricing.
Surgical Technique: The chosen surgical technique for the hair transplant treatment impacts the overall cost.
Hair Growth Timeline After Hair Transplant:
First Month: Initial scabbing and shedding of transplanted hair occur.
Second to Third Month: Most transplanted hair falls out as a natural part of the process.
Third to Fourth Month: Initial signs of new hair growth may become visible.
Fifth to Eighth Month: Substantial growth as transplanted hair continues to develop.
Ninth to Twelfth Month: Continued improvement and thickening of hair texture.
Beyond One Year: Full results are often visible, with the transplanted hair fully matured.
Please note that individual experiences may vary, and full results can take up to a year or more to become apparent.
The patient will be discharged on the same day as the hair transplant procedure. The doctor will prescribe a course of painkillers and antibiotics that should be followed for the prescribed period for the patient's comfort.
The patient may experience some swelling around the forehead and over the eyes. The swelling may sometimes extend even below the eyes too. This will go away within three to five days. The patient may shampoo their hair after five to seven days.
The transplanted hairs usually fall out two to three weeks after the surgery. This is called "shock loss" and is very common after a hair transplant. The transplanted hair will regrow in the next two to three months.
The hair growing after transplanted hair falls off is completely natural and has the same texture and colour as the patient's natural hair. The patient will be able to see the full results of the hair transplant within 6 months.
Like all surgical procedures, hair transplant surgery carries certain risks like bleeding, inflammation, infection, scarring, and patchy hair growth.

Dr. Vasant Gholave, Director of Arra Aesthetics, Pune, will make sure you have a safe procedure with minimal risks. However, if you are still unsure about undergoing hair transplant surgery, Arra Aesthetics offers various other hair loss treatments.
