Today we present the inspiring hair transplant journey of Rahul, a young professional from Hyderabad, who traveled all the way to Pune in search of the best hair transplant clinic in India. Let’s take a detailed look at his transformation, treatment steps, and how he regained his confidence.
Rahul had been experiencing gradual hair loss for over 4 years. By the time he consulted us, he had reached Grade 3 baldness, with complete front hairline recession and visible thinning in the frontal zone and temples. His crown and mid-scalp had stable, healthy hair that didn’t require a transplant.
Associated Scalp Issues:
Mild dandruff, occasional dryness, and minimal itching. No active inflammation or pimples.
Family History:
His father started balding in his mid-40s, indicating moderate genetic involvement.
Medical & Surgical History:
Rahul is fit, without any medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. No history of major surgeries.
Allergies & Skin Sensitivity:
No known allergies. No history of keloid formation. Skin tested and found safe for anesthesia.
Previous Treatments:
Rahul had tried popular anti-hairfall shampoos and Ayurvedic oils but hadn’t used minoxidil, finasteride, or any scientific therapies before. No significant improvement was seen.
He says:
"The decision to travel from Hyderabad to Pune was worth it. The moment I entered the clinic, I felt I was in safe hands. Everyone from the front desk to the surgeon was warm, informative, and supportive."
Baldness Grade: Grade 3
Technique Used: I-FUE (Implanter Follicular Unit Extraction)
PRP Sessions: 5 sessions over 12 months
Total Grafts Implanted: 2,487 grafts
Post-Operative Medication:
A custom hairline was designed that matched Rahul’s facial structure and age. Trichoscopy confirmed thick, healthy donor hair with mildly wavy black hair strands.
2. Anesthesia & Preparation:
Scalp shaved and sterilized with Betadine and alcohol. Modified local anesthesia administered using a vibration-painless technique. Rahul reported minimal discomfort.
3. Extraction:
Using a 0.8 mm serrated titanium punch, 2,487 grafts were carefully extracted under magnification.
Graft quality:
Grafts were stored in a graft chiller machine at 4°C in RL solution to ensure survival and freshness.
5. Slit Making:
Slits were made using a 1.2 mm sapphire blade for the hairline and a 1.4 mm blade for density zones. Angles and direction were customized for natural results.
6. Graft Implantation:
Implantation was done using K.E.E.P. implanters, with extreme care to maintain density, depth, and direction. Implantation took 2.5 hours.
7. Post-Procedure Care:
A dressing was applied, medication was prescribed, and a personal helpline was given for direct access to the medical team. Rahul was given detailed written and verbal aftercare instructions.
“Now that Hairfree & Hairgrow has opened in Hyderabad too, I recommend everyone in the city to consult them. You don’t have to travel now like I did. They’re the best in India hands down.”
