Q: How much does a hair transplant cost in India?
Hair transplant costs in India typically range from ₹40,000 to ₹2,50,000 depending on the number of grafts required and the technique used (FUE or FUT). Most patients need 1,500–4,000 grafts. India offers world-class hair transplant surgery at a fraction of the cost compared to the UK, US, or Australia.
Q: What is the difference between FUE and FUT hair transplant?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) extracts individual hair follicles one by one, leaving tiny circular scars that are virtually invisible. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) removes a strip of scalp, leaving a linear scar hidden by surrounding hair. FUE is more popular today due to faster recovery and no visible linear scar, though it costs slightly more.
Q: Is hair transplant surgery permanent?
Yes. Transplanted hair follicles are taken from donor areas (back and sides of scalp) that are genetically resistant to the DHT hormone that causes hair loss. This makes the transplanted hair permanent. Full, final results are visible 12–18 months after surgery.
Q: Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant?
Good candidates are adults with stable hair loss, sufficient donor hair at the back and sides of the scalp, and realistic expectations. Hair transplants are most effective for male and female pattern baldness. A consultation with a qualified surgeon is the best way to assess your suitability.

Q: How long does recovery take after a hair transplant?
Most patients return to desk work within 3–5 days. Small scabs fall off within 10–14 days. The transplanted hair sheds at 2–6 weeks — this is completely normal and expected. New hair growth begins at 3–4 months and full results are visible at 12–18 months after surgery.
