Hair Transplant Procedure (Step-by-Step)​

1. Hairline Planning & Design​

A natural-looking front hairline was designed to match Pravin’s facial structure and age. The crown area was also marked for coverage.

2. Trichoscopy & Donor Analysis​

Using magnifying tools, donor area hair density and quality were assessed. Pravin had a healthy donor zone with good graft potential.

3. Anesthesia & Preparation​

• Local anesthesia administered with pain-minimizing techniques
• Scalp shaved and sterilized using betadine and alcohol

4. Slit Making​

Slits were made using precision tools to ensure the correct angle and direction, allowing for a natural hair growth pattern post-implantation.

5. Graft Extraction​

High-quality grafts were extracted using 0.8 mm serrated titanium punches. Care was taken to preserve root integrity. Grafts were stored at optimal temperatures in an RL solution to maintain viability.

6. Graft Implantation​

Grafts were implanted using specialized implanters (K.E.E.P.) suitable for 1, 2, and 3 follicular units. This phase took several hours, ensuring accurate placement and maximum density.
